What are some basic staging techniques you can apply to your home?
Before your home goes on the market, here are some staging techniques you can do.
-
Deep clean and declutter. Do more than the regular home cleaning you are used to. Even the cleanest home has something to clean or get rid of.
This means getting rid of or putting into storage any knick-knacks or books that have been accumulating in the corner. Take out the excessive display of your children’s accomplishments that hang on all the walls of the living room. Remove 90% of your personal stuff in the home.
You want the home to look clean and tidy and with plenty of space, and decluttering accomplishes that. If your carpet has not been cleaned for a year, now is the perfect time to have it deep cleaned. If you don’t have time, consider getting a professional cleaning job.
-
A fresh coat of paint.
Paint is a miracle worker. It can make dirty walls look new. It gives new life to anything it touches.
A fresh can of paint can make the home look better, brighter and newer. Also, go neutral with the paint. If you wish to make it more lively, add a pop of color and use it as an accent.
-
Repair and maintain. Do not ignore the seemingly small repair issues.
Replace the leaking faucet and cracked tile in the kitchen. Change the bathroom’s broken door knob. Fix the rundown portion of the fence.
A good thing to do to know what to fix and improve is to walk from the street and look at your home with a buyer’s eye. Check out the roof, sidings, windows and walls.
-
Improve your home’s lighting. Buyers love homes that are bright, open and well-lighted.
Replace any busted light fixtures and upgrade to contemporary styled ones. Take out the dark, heavy draperies hanging on the windows to let in natural light. Not only does this trick brighten the home, it also makes the space look bigger.
-
Spruce up your home’s curb appeal. Mow the lawn, prune the shrubs and trees and plant some colorful flowers in the garden. Make sure that your walkway is clean and well-kept.
