Staging Your Home Tip #1 – Bigger and Brighter
When staging your home, you want to do more than just present its best qualities. You also reduce the impact of some
of its less-great aspects. For instance, take your bathrooms. If one or more of the bathrooms in your home seem kind of small, try putting a larger bathroom mirror in there to make the whole room feel bigger. Also, hang it slightly lower if possible so that you don’t have a large mirrored surface looming over visitors’ heads; ideally, the center of the mirror should be slightly below eye level for the average person using it.

Something else that can work in both bathrooms and any room that seems a bit too dark is to lighten up the walls. This will improve the overall brightness of the room. This can be as simple as replacing dark colored curtains with light white ones. Or instead, try adding white hand towels and decorative items to add light areas to the room. Some owners may feel like taking in a larger project. For the, add a couple of coats of paint in a light color that goes well with existing decorations. Especially colors such as a light blue or soft light green.
Staging Your Home Tip #2 – Upscale and Comfortable
Next, tweaking your furniture and decorations is another consideration. Here you can improve your home staging and
make your home a must-buy. What if you don’t have upscale furniture? Try talking to developers that have model homes available in planned communities around where you live. Much of that furniture is used solely for staging. Therefore, excess pieces can usually be bought relatively cheaply since they’re considered used. Staging companies in your area may also have furniture available for rent or purchase under similar terms. And here is the best part. If you buy the furniture for your staging, then you may be able to recoup some of your money by selling the furniture along with the house.

And yes, you want buyers to like the way that your home looks. However, it’s also important that they think it looks comfortable. Furthermore, you want it to look ready for them to move in. So, add fluffy comforters and knit throws to beds. Perhaps even drape a soft blanket along the back of the couch. Furthermore, add other little touches to make it look like the house is just waiting for someone to make it theirs. Just be sure that you remove photos and other personal items from the home before the staging. You do this because you want potential buyers to picture it as their house and not yours.
Tip #3 – Knock Out Those Repairs
One last thing that you can do to improve your staging is to go ahead and finish some of the little repairs around the house that you never quite got around to doing. Why? It’s simple. Each time a buyer spots an obvious item needing repair, they wonder how many other items also need repair that they didn’t see. This leads to lower offers since they anticipate higher costs.
