Showing Off: Tips for Staging Luxury Homes

Written by Posted On Monday, 28 December 2015 08:22

Luxury buyers are different from the average home buyer. A high-end home buyer expects a certain level of maintenance and charming features to be present in a home they purchase. Often the decor sells the home even if it does not come with the sale. Making use of all of the home including outdoor areas is vital for homes that range in the six-figure range.

Outdoor Space

Seating areas with fountains and fire pits sell homes, especially luxurious homes that have less than ideal square footage. Any space like a screened in porch, gazebo, or outdoor kitchen adds entertainment space to the property and makes it feel more inviting. People can then envision themselves sharing a glass of wine with one another while watching the sun set from the shade of their pergola.

Unique Artwork

Making and using connections with local art galleries is an inexpensive way to stage a luxury home. By finding unique decor that invokes a sense of elegance, an agent or home seller can pique the interest of luxury buyers. Another strategy is to employ local artists or purchase abstract art and sculptures to keep money in the community and help create networking connections for future sales.

Immaculate Garages

Garages are the newest trend in luxury homes. Everyone wants the most organized and equipped garage out there. The neater the area, the more chances that people are interested in buying the home. Adding high-end security lighting, carriage doors, or a custom organization system is one of the easiest ways to catch the eyes of potential buyers. Keeping tools and equipment neatly stored in the garage is an excellent way to show buyers how to use the space.

Quality Linens

Although people say that buying a home does not depend on the way it looks, it makes a huge difference in luxury homes. Wowing a potential buyer is easy when you use Egyptian sheets with high thread counts and Italian vases for decoration. Using a professional staging expert who has access to the best furnishing stores in the city is always going to help sell the home.

Gleaming Kitchens

Many have said that the kitchen is the heart of a home. Even if you don’t agree with this, chances are many of your potential buyers will. Make sure the kitchen is immaculate and well-lit—dark, dingy kitchens tend to send buyers running for the hills. Make sure the kitchen looks well-stocked and usable—this usually means setting up some cookware and décor. With Discountrue's exclusive Sur La Table coupons, you can save on kitchen adornments and stylish cookware for your dining area staging.

Selling a luxury home does follow some of the same guidelines as a typical family home sale, but getting the most out of the property means breaking a few rules. Styles can be mixed and matched, but an elegant theme needs to remain in place for success. Anything that makes the home stand out in a classy way is often the ticket to quick sales.
