for overflowing boxes, possessions, or unwanted items should be transformed into a usable, desirable space. Could you 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 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 with one bed with one pillow and blanket may make the room seem bare and lonely. Adding a table with a lamp and a rocking chair draped with a lap robe heightens its appeal. Could you 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 house without dashing its appeal. The main goal is to keep your home clean and free of clutter that distracts would-be buyers. Even simple things can significantly impact the final sale price of a home. You have two options for staging a home: do it yourself or hire a professional home stager. If you are considering hiring someone, I can give you some recommendations. However, I have listed and sold thousands of homes in my career, and I know how to stage homes. I can save you money by hiring a stager to stage your home.
