Staging your home is one of the most important steps in prepping it for sale. When selling, you would absolutely want it to look the best way possible to potential buyers, to be able to sell it fast and upgrade its value.
Home staging, by definition, “is a method of decorating meant to highlight your home’s most impressive assets and help buyers imagine themselves moving in and living there” (Mueller, 2018).
Here are some home staging tips you can use to improve your home for selling:
Depersonalize the space.
You need to help your prospective buyers visualize the home as their own. If possible, you can make your home a blank slate to give your buyer the liberty to make the house their own. Start removing personal photos, items, and collections, and give your buyer the chance to connect with the property.
Tone down on the furniture.
As per professionals, you can do away with almost half of the furnishings to make the house look bigger. This allows your potential buyers to move around easily without being blocked by furniture.
Go neutral.
While this part may be costly, this can make a huge difference in terms of your home’s value and time in the market. Paint your walls with neutrals, like gray, white, and taupe. This gives buyers more liberty to design and accentuate their homes.
Light it up.
Dark spaces are sad spaces. Light up your home by opening the windows and putting on enough lights. This makes your home more lively and welcoming.
Clean, clean, clean.
When putting your home on the market, make sure your space is squeaky clean. Make your floor, countertops, and everything in between shine. This makes your home look more pleasant and ready for its next owners.
