Home staging is one of the most important aspects of any home sale. The more attractive your home is to potential buyers, the faster you can finalize the sale and move on. With that in mind, let's explore four home staging ideas that won't cost a fortune but are sure to impress your buyers.
Sellers are struggling to find buyers in today's market. It's always a great idea to get free tips on staging your home for maximum impact.
Here are some great tips that Clover House Realty experts believe will make the difference:
1: Spring Clean the Place Until It Shines
The first and most obvious option is not going to cost much more than your time and energy. Your home needs to be absolutely, positively spotless.
The floors should be so clean that you would have no problem eating off of them.
The walls should be clean and free of marks. Windows and mirrors buffed to a sparkling shine. If there's any dirt to be found, rest assured, that potential buyers will see it!
2: Spruce Up the Furniture with New Slip Covers and Sheet Sets
If your furniture is starting to look a little tired and outdated, you can spruce it up by investing in new slip covers. These can be color coordinated to match the rest of the room's palette.
It’s also a great idea to have new, matching sheet sets on all the beds.
The bedrooms don't need to look like hotel rooms, but they do need to look nice.
3: Better Lighting Gives Home a Warm Glow
Make sure you replace all the bulbs in your fixtures and lamps. Also make sure they are in working order.
If you are still using older incandescent bulbs, it's time to invest in newer LED or compact fluorescent lighting. It’s best to try to match the color temperature of the bulbs to the rest of the room so that the room's color and 'feel' don't clash with the lighting. Consider having a lighting expert come in to help with the lighting, especially in the high-traffic areas.
4. Use Plants to Brighten Up a Room
Finally, if your home is lacking a bit of plant life, it might be time to take a quick trip to the local nursery. Adding one or two plants to your common areas adds a touch of life and even helps to keep the air fresh. This can definitely add a more warmth and life to the room. If you prefer a pop of color, you can always add a flowering plant that's currently in bloom.
