Basic Tips On Home Staging

By Luke C Wright


When you start to review tips on home staging, you may think that you need to entirely redecorate your entire interior space. This does not have to be the case. Simple cleanup jobs and basic room treatments that emphasize space and attractive decorating strategies can gain the attention your house deserves from prospective buyers.

If your interior design conveys a sense of tiny rooms or not enough space, turn to paint to help make a change. White or light-toned walls can make a room seem larger, while similar tones in neighboring rooms can help make both spaces feel connected and larger. For example, you may want to take a light sea-foam color and use it in both the kitchen and dining area to make the two rooms feel connected as one.

Follow the example of designer showcases of interiors and keep everything neat, orderly, picked up and put away. Nothing should be on the floor, and all essentials that you may use such as magazines, shoes, hand weights and the like need to be stored out of sight. When potential buyers visit your house, they should see spacious, precisely organized rooms.

Instead of pushing all of your furniture to the ends of the room, group more toward the center so that the walls appear farther away. This can visually improve the room's size. You also can mix up your lamp and furniture arrangements to complement each other and the space for a more attractive setting.

Pay attention to high-traffic areas that can be more prone to show wear and tear. Keep the bathroom and kitchen immaculate, and replace grout and tile seals as necessary. Make any necessary repairs in the bathroom to make it look new, such as replacing the toilet seat and fixtures. Cleanliness should be apparent in this area, along with the rest of the house.

There may be other ways that you can bring a new look to rooms without breaking your budget. Look at the rooms details, such as overhead light fixtures, switch plates, doorknobs and other hardware. Take an inventory, replace and upgrade as needed, making sure the design themes and details are reflected throughout the house.

Tips on home staging serve mainly to draw attention to the best parts of your house. You want prospective buyers to see the potential in every room and how the space can fit their particular needs. Take time to study other houses online, and learn how proper strategies can turn an average interior into a dramatic showcase.
