To Stage, or Not to Stage?

Don’t let the question of how to stage your property prevent you from getting started! Here are a few tips:

BYE BYE CLUTTER

Clean and clear surfaces, floors, cupboards, and closets equal more space in the eyes of potential buyers, so purge anything unnecessary or unsightly.

FURNITURE GROUPS

There’s a common belief that rooms will feel larger if all the furniture is pushed against the walls or gone, but that just isn’t the case. Instead, move furniture away from the walls and position it into cozy conversational groups so traffic flow in a room is obvious.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

When buyers walk into a home, they need to feel welcome; great lighting can do just that. As it turns out, many homes are improperly lit. To remedy the problem, increase the wattage in your lights and don’t just depend on one or two fixtures pre room. Make sure that you have three types of lighting: ambient (general or overhead), task (pendant, under-cabinet, or reading), and accent (table and wall).

STAY NEUTRAL

Now is not the time to experiment with those fun, bright colors. Rich mid-tone neutrals like mocha and “greige” Create a sophisticated backdrop That makes everything look more pulled together.
