Tips For Staging Your Home to Sell

Moving into a brand new Schaeffer Family home that’s built just for you is one of the most exciting times of your life. However, you may first need to sell your current home to get there. Effective staging isn’t just for show — it’s a powerful tool to ensure you maximize your home’s sales price. Here are some of our favorite tips and tricks for mastering the art of staging:

Declutter Every Room

First and foremost, it’s crucial to go through every single room in your home to clean up the “clutter zones.” These are areas filled with old keepsakes and unnecessary items. Either pack or discard everything to make the space feel open and inviting. A decluttered home allows potential buyers to see the full potential of each room.

Decide on Furniture

When it comes to the furniture in your home, it’s essential to decide what should stay and what should go. Remember color, style and function to make the most confident and informed choice. This will help you see your home through a buyer’s eyes and ensure the space looks cohesive and appealing.

Accessorize Thoughtfully

Decorate with accessories to make your home look its absolute best in person and pictures. Most potential buyers will see your home in photos online before they visit in person, so everything you do should create a positive first impression. Add touches like throw pillows, art pieces, and tasteful décor highlighting your home’s best features.

Stand Out with Unique Touches

Make your home appear unique with a few fun touch-ups. For example, change the color of your front door to something eye-catching like red or robin’s egg blue to stand out in the neighborhood. Hanging multiple mirrors on the walls can create a wide-open feel, making spaces look larger and brighter.

Keep It Simple and Neutral

Lastly, ensure that your home doesn’t appear too personalized. Potential buyers need to envision making it their own. Neutral colors, minimal personal items and simple yet elegant decorations can help buyers imagine themselves living there.

The Importance of First Impressions

A buyer’s first impression could make or break their decision to purchase your home. When you understand where the eye goes first, as well as what’s pleasant and positive versus what needs a change, you can make the best adjustments to impress buyers and win them over.
