If you are planning to sell your home, home staging is one tried and tested thing you can do to make sure it sells faster and for more. Your real estate agent can probably put you in touch with a reputable professional home stager, but if you want to try staging your home yourself, you won’t have to spend too much money to do so. Yesterday, we wrote a blog about a few cost-effective things you can do to stage your home for sale. Here are a few more:
1. Keep the color scheme of your home neutral. Believe it or not, that bright orange accent wall you love so much might be the very thing that discourages potential buyers from purchasing your home. Remember how we talked about de-personalizing your home so buyers could imagine themselves living in it instead of getting distracted by your personal mementos? The same principle applies here. Keeping your walls and decor neutral makes it easier for buyers to visualize how THEY would like to decorate the space once they’re living in it. Besides, a fresh coat of bright, neutral paint will not only give your home an updated new look, but will also make it feel more airy and spacious.
2. Make your home smell good. Use room fragrances and candles to make your home smell warm and inviting, which will help make it more memorable to potential home buyers. Be careful, though, because using the wrong, overpowering scents can have the opposite effect and make buyers feel dizzy or overwhelmed. Stick to light, fresh and clean scents that give the impression of a sparkling clean and new home.
3. Highlight all your home’s best features. Use a few well-placed accessories to draw your potential buyer’s eyes to certain focal points that will make them dwell on your home’s best assets.
