attention to it. Avoid pushing furniture close to the walls. Reposition easy chairs into floating group spaces. Every room must be staged to show function. An empty room used for overflow boxes, possessions, or unwanted items should be transformed into a usable, desirable space. Clean it out and create an office space with a desk and chair, or a reading room with a lamp and recliner. Exercise equipment might be arranged to feature it as a workout room. Every room should have a purpose and be user-friendly. Make your home’s traffic flow smoothly, so buyers can browse each room without effort.
EMOTIONAL CUES AL CUES
Once every room has a purpose, creating an appealing atmosphere is crucial to make the home desirable. Decorative touches of greenery, flowers, and coffee table books give life to a room. Creatively hung wall art can do the same. A bedroom that has one bed with one pillow and a drab comforter may make the room seem bare and lonely. By adding a table with a lamp and a rocking chair draped with a fluffy throw blanket, you heighten its appeal. Be sure to add elements of the same color, shape, or texture to unify the room. Any splashes of color should appear in wall art or any place you want to draw attention. Learn to strike a balance between staging and living in your home. You can even seasonally decorate your home without diminishing its appeal. The main goal is to keep your home clean and free of clutter that distracts would-be buyers. Even simple things can have a big impact on the final sale price of a home. You have options for staging a home: you can attempt to stage the property yourself or hire a professional home stager. If you are considering hiring someone, I can provide recommendations. If you decide to choose me as your listing agent, I can provide some basic staging as part of my services.
