Kitchens and bathrooms can make or break a sale. The combination of ambient, natural, and pendant lighting can bring out the best in your kitchen space. Mounting track lighting underneath cabinets gives the counters an opportunity to shine aesthetically as well as functionally. If you have a hood over the stove, install clear bulbs for the brightest light. Lighting in the bathroom should be intense without being harsh. Soft lighting enhances any part of the house you want to highlight. Staging a home should cover every area of the house; however, there are some specific places you need to ensure are in their most excellent state: the entrance to your house, the kitchen, the bathrooms, and all toilets. Most buyers put more emphasis on these areas. If you can afford to make changes and small improvements in your home, you’ll be rewarded greatly for your efforts. • Professionally staging your home is an effective strategy if you want to sell it faster and for more money. • Decluttering and cleaning are important elements of staging because they create the impression of more space and help buyers envision themselves living in the home. • Repair or replace broken or unsightly fixtures and features. • Minimize furniture and use neutral colors for walls POINTS TO REMEMBER:
