Easy Home Staging
Many homeowners are looking for easy home staging ideas to help complete some
DIY staging
before listing their homes for sale.
Home staging
is the best way to prepare a home for the real estate market, making it more appealing to a wider range of prospective buyers and increasing the chances for a quality offer on the residence. Luckily,
home staging strategies
do not have to be difficult in order to be effective. In fact, there are many easy fixes for common
home décor
issues.
Easy Home Staging Tips
Here are some of the
home staging tips
I recommend to sellers looking for solutions to typical problematic real estate concerns:* It is crucial to make the
bathrooms
and
kitchen
top priority when staging. Although the cost of renovating these spaces professionally can be prohibitive, there are inexpensive fixes for the usual complaints, including outdated and worn fixtures, unaesthetic color palates and a general disorganization. Instead of replacing counters and cabinets, try repainting instead. Change out the hardware to complete the upgrade and you have a brand new look for a fraction of the cost. Use laminate flooring as a moderate cost solution without demolition. Finally, replace faucets and accessories to really make the look cohesive.
* Bedrooms
usually suffer from clutter and a general lack of design sense. The most important rule is to organize the
closets
and remove the junk and extra furnishings from the rooms. Place the focus on the bed using fabrics which catch the eye, but are not too taste specific. * The
living room
should be an inviting space with a comfortable and warm atmosphere. Changing the
lighting,
adding slip covers and repositioning
furniture
can really highlight the positive aspects of the room, while detracting from less desirable facets. Do not forget the use of open space to create a spacious feel.
* Dining rooms
are the easiest to stage, with the table and chairs being the focal point, spotlighted by an appropriate chandelier. I typically recommend a more contemporary design in both lighting and table. Old furniture can be painted black for a basic and classic look. Do not place too many extraneous furnishings in this space, unless the room is huge. Make sure to set the table with a complete arrangement of dishes, glasses, silverware and even flowers to complete the look.
Easy Home Staging Solutions
Detailed information on any particular area of your home,
inside,
or even on the
exterior,
can be found in the appropriate section of the navigation bar to the left. However, some common
techniques
work well for virtually any area of the home:* Refinish when possible.
Paint
or stain works well to spruce up old and dated fixtures,
appliances
and even tile and countertops. * Laminate
flooring
is simple to put down and can be very inexpensive. * Lighting makes a huge difference and can be purchased for little money. * Decorative accessories are best purchased from off price home stores and can really tie the décor together. * Fabrics are always a cheap and easy fix for a range of home concerns. * Make sure the look and feel of the home is cohesive, room to room. Do not mix and match styles, as this will make the property appear haphazard and unappealing.
