When it comes to selling your home fast, staging is everything. It's not as hard as you may think, and you can easily make your home appealing and attractive to potential buyers.
Arrange Your Living Spaces
Minimize the amount of furniture in each room and don't arrange it on the walls. Pull the furniture away from the walls and group a couple of pieces in two or three places around the room.
Use soft fabrics for throw pillows, etc. Fabrics such as silk, lamb's wool and satin will add a rich, luxurious touch to any room.
Take down any fancy window coverings and replace them with drapes or curtains in neutral colors that have simple lines and compliment a room, not overwhelm it.
Put a unique statue, plant, or other item on bookcases, shelving units, and fireplace mantels that will draw a buyer's attention to the special features of your house they might have otherwise missed. Just these simple things can help you sell your house fast.
Choose Accessories Carefully
Use a mirror in a small room to give it the appearance of being larger than it really is. Additionally, an area or throw rug can brighten up any room.
Put your large sofa into storage and use chairs and loveseats to compliment your living or family room; this will make the room look larger.
Use fresh flowers if possible to brighten up a kitchen counter, bathroom, or foyer. If you don't want to bother with fresh flowers, use good quality silk flowers instead.
Put orange oil or lemon oil on all the wooden cabinets in your house. It will add a nice sheen and make them look clean and fresh.
Kitchens and Bathrooms
The kitchen and bathrooms are the most important rooms in your house to prospective buyers. You may want to arrange a few fun and interesting cookbooks on your kitchen counter.
Fill a basket with spa items such as ribbon tied towels, scented soaps, bath salts, lotions, etc. Place the basket on your bathroom vanity. Make sure the basket is size appropriate for the room. For example, don't place a huge basket in a small bathroom.
Porches and Patios
Don't forget to spruce up the front porch, deck, and patio of your home. If its spring, summer, or fall, place pots of fresh plants and flowers outside. Don't overwhelm the space, but a couple well-placed planters of gorgeous flowers can work wonders.
You don't have to spend a lot to reap huge rewards when it comes to staging your house for sale. With just a few simple steps you can entice home buyers in the front door and have them scrambling to purchase your home.
