10 Decorating Tips for Home Staging
1. First- and very important–get rid of excess clutter. This includes photos, accessories, excess artificial plants, books, and magazines, kid’s toys and fussy window treatments
2. The look should be spare. The focus is on square footage—not possessions.
3.Clean, clean, clean a must for all rooms in the home. Emphasis is on kitchen and bathrooms.
4. Replace old comforters, toss pillows and, worn out bathroom rugs.
5. Slipcover old sofas and loveseats for a fresh new look.
6. Pet food, water bowls etc., put out of the way place, before prospective buyers walk thru the kitchen.
7. Pet smells—does the house smell fresh or like a wet dog?? Hmmm, time to clean.
8. Children’s bedrooms-remove the 30 posters stapled to the walls, the clutter, dirty socks and underwear on the floor-you get the picture.
9. Reorganize the children’s bedrooms, their clothes must be off the floor, as well as toys, books, and their stuff. De-cluttering again needed in these rooms.
10. A little cash makes a big splash in a home.
Keep in mind, the better the home looks, the more likely you are to get a faster sale—and beat out your competition.
