Home Staging: What is it?

Home staging is the work you put into a home before you are putting it on the market. It comes down highlighting the strong points of your home and working to renovate those weaker points to make them more appealing to a buyer. The most common way people stage their homes is to do some decorating both on the interior and Exterior of the home.

A way to help stage the exterior portions of your home is to add some simple landscaping to turn those bushes, trees, and floral pieces of the home into something more appealing to the eyes of buyers. Simple additions such as wood chips or pine straw to add a clean look to the areas, or even removing unnecessary shrubs or plants. One major element that draws a lot of attention is the lawn, so it is suggested to add a little fertilizer to keep the grass fresh looking and a quick cut to make sure it does not have a ragged look will help make that average yard look like a potential prize winner.

Once you have made that first impression with the exterior, it is time to hit the interior look of the home. If you are looking for simple and quick adjustments then fresh coats of paint on the walls, and nice modern fixtures about the lights can add a special touch. When making these quick changes you want to do so with a neutral approach as the new owners will want to make the home there own special place and will most likely change a lot of your quick fix projects.

Next you want to show off the spacious areas of the home and make sure they are well lit. Everyone looks for a home that has plenty of room for the family that will be residing in it. This can be accomplished by removing unnecessary furniture that may cause a cluttered look and possibly adding vertical blinds that allow more light in to the rooms. If you are willing to make the investment it never hurts to give your current flooring a look over and make sure it has a clean and presentable look as well.

Remember you are promoting a home that is to made into a personal space for a new family, so the more you can make the home resemble a canvas to be painted by the new owners the better.
