5 Quick Home Staging Tips For A Fast Home Sale
Imagine nding the house of your dreams but
passing it by because you couldn’t see how truly
wonderful it was. When homes are presented as-is,
it’s di cult for buyers to envision themselves living
there. By creating a neutral yet stylish home,
however, buyers can see the home in its best light
and dream about adding their own style to it. This is
where these home staging tips will come in handy.
You can’t just throw a “for sale” sign on your lawn
and assume the perfect buyers will walk through
your door. Staging your home to make the best rst
impression can mean the di erence between
selling and having to stay there another year .
Staging doesn’t have to be expensive — you likely
already own a lot of what you need, and there are
a ordable shops with lovely home decor. Clever
decluttering tricks and an eye for decorating can
also boost your home’s appeal and get it o the
market.
5 e ective home staging tips to sell your home
1. Declutter and Minimize
Your rst step is to get rid of clutter. Think about
the items you don’t use on a regular basis, like your
clothing for next season, and pack them away. This
is also a good time to throw out or donate items you
don’t want to bring with you to your next house. Be
careful of where you move the items, though; house
buyers are going to look in your storage areas, so if
you stu everything in a closet, it’s going to be
found. Consider renting storage space to get
everything out of the house (it’ll also make moving
easier).
2. Clean and Keep Up With
Maintenance
If you’re going to be living in your home while its
staged, you’ll need to be extra diligent about
cleanliness. Make sure to clean thoroughly on a
regular basis so you don’t have to scramble when
someone wants to see the house. Bathrooms and
the kitchen should be especially clean. Also, keep
up with organization and maintenance. Don’t let any
room get cluttered and out of hand, and x little
things as they occur, like blown light bulbs or torn
fabric.
This goes for the exterior too. Curb appeal is
important , as your buyers don’t want to purchase a
home knowing they’ll have to redo the front
walkway or replace the front door. Keep up with
landscaping, update the hardware on the outside of
the home, and add lighting to make the home feel
more secure.

3. Decorate in a Neutral Style
You don’t want to decorate in your own style; you
want to decorate in an appealing, mainstream style.
That can be as simple as removing items that are
too bold or patterned to pare back to just the
neutral furnishings and decor you already have. If
you’re going to add items, look for one-of-a-kind
furnishings or decor that viewers won’t see in every
home. If a piece of artwork or a rug is the thing that
catches the eye of your future buyer, consider
letting them keep it.
You need to de-personalize the home , too, so that
viewers can personalize it in their imagination.
People don’t want to feel like they’re moving into
somebody else’s home. They want to feel like
they’ve found their home. Place things like family
photos , awards, and trophies into storage and out
of sight.
4. Highlight the Best Features
What’s the biggest selling point of your home? Is it
an enormous kitchen , a landscaped backyard, or a
sleek replace? Make that area the focal point. For
example, you can add fresh fruit to a clear bowl and
put it in your kitchen, along with a pretty cake on
display and fresh owers on the counter.
Is the setting of your home its biggest draw?
Consider highlighting that by choosing decor that
delivers the full experience. For example, if you live
in New York City, you can highlight the locale by
decorating with modern furniture and an urban
style. The same goes for the season, especially if
you’re selling a vacation home instead of a full-time
home. For example, if you’re selling your beach
house, the decor should be bright, airy, and evoke
summertime.
5. Brighten the Space Up
One of the most overlooked home staging tips is to
brighten the space up. Everything looks better in a
brighter light.  First give your windows a good
cleaning inside and out. Then, consider replacing
some of your thicker curtains with more sheer ones
that let in natural light. If you have a room that
doesn’t have any windows, add mirrors to re ect
natural light from other rooms and make the area
brighter. When you’re showing the house, turn on
all the lights.
You’re not selling a house — you’re selling a
lifestyle and a future to your buyers. Home staging
is the rst step to making your buyer’s dream a
reality. Your home is now all about them, even if
you’re still living there. If you’re ready to move into a
new home yourself, staging can speed up the selling
process.
