QUICK AND SIMPLE HOME STAGING TIPS FOR SELLERS
Home staging doesn’t need to be overwhelming. Your main goal is to create a setting that is appealing to anyone viewing your home. Start with a few basics to make your home warm and inviting for potential buyers.
· Outside/Front Porch: Make the most of curb appeal. Keep the lawn freshly mowed, sweep or power wash the siding and sidewalks. Decorate your front porch with simple pots of seasonal flowers.
· Declutter: Remove visible clutter from the usual hotspots (kitchen counters, bathroom counters, dining room table, family room). Pare down or pack away most of the items in your closets.
· Deep clean: Dust, vacuum the carpets, wash the floors, scrub the kitchens and bathrooms. Wipe down kitchens and bathrooms right before every showing.
· Natural light: Open blinds and pull back curtains to make sure your living spaces are enhanced by natural light. Don’t forget to wash the windows too.
· Set the table: Make your dining spaces warm and homey by setting the table. Don’t make the setting too elaborate – a tablecloth, four to six place settings and a centerpiece is plenty to set the stage.
· Added touches: Hang fresh new towels in the bathroom, display some fresh flowers in the kitchen, add a light and fresh home scent.
