What is Staging?
You might be wondering, what does it mean to stage your home? Well, staging means making your home more visually appealing. When you stage a home, you do everything you can to make it look more visually appealing. You do this by looking at some of the latest interior design trends and making things look good according to your house structure. You want to do this because when potential home buyers come to see your property, you want to really show them the value of your home and what can be done about it. In simple terms, you want it to be visually appealing to draw them in. For example, think of 2 of the same cars. If one car has nicer rims and has more visually appealing features to it, which car would you want to buy? Even though they're the same exact cars, one has features that would draw you to it. Maybe the rims, color, etc. It's the same way with your home. You want to attract people to it. Not only will you ensure a quick sale, but you'll get top dollar for your home. Here are a couple of tips to staging your home effectively:
1. Declutter
One of the most important and simple things you can do is declutter your home. This means cleaning up and taking away useless things in your home that does not need to be there. This will not only make your home feel bigger, but it will also make your home more attractive with a simple design.
2. Depersonalize
Depersonalize your home. You know what they say “no form of interior design is wrong”. That's true because everybody has their own taste and twist on interior design or style. But your style and design may not correlate with current interior design trends. There's nothing wrong with that. Everybody has their own style. But if you are trying to sell your home, it's best to change your interior design to something that's modern and will attract everybody.
3. Improve Curb Appeal
Improving curb appeal can make a huge difference in your home. So make sure the exterior of your house is looking good. You know what they say, first impressions matter. Do some landscaping! The exterior of your home is the first impression for a homebuyer. So make sure it looks good. Depending on the type of home, paint the exterior of your house. Clean up your landscaping, cut your grass and add flowers. Make sure there is no garbage and clutter on the exterior of your home. Simple things like this can make a huge difference in the way people see your home.
4. Style The Dining Table
Something simple that you can do is style your dining table. Add a nice table cloth or put nice decorations on your dining tables such as candles, plates, or silverware. Something as small and simple as this can make a huge difference in the attractiveness of your home.
5. Stage The Outdoor Living Area
You can stage more than the interior of your home. You can stage the exterior as well. Most people spend most of their time outdoors and a backyard is a huge consideration for them when buying a home. So show them the potential of your yard. Add some nice exterior furniture. Add a barbeque. Make your outdoor living area look attracting.
6. Cater to The Season
What works in the winter, may not work in the summer, and what works in the spring may not work in the fall season so cater to the season. Make your home look appealing to the current season. This may mean changing up the decor around your home or removing exterior decorations.
7. Clean Up Any Toys
You might have kids so there may be toys everywhere. Make sure you clean them up and put them in their rightly disposed places especially when you have showings. This will just make your home look a little bit tidier. If you do have kids, that is great for homebuyers to see because they may be looking for a home to be perfect for their future family. If you do not have kids, then just make sure overall your home is tidy and presentable.
