If you want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar, staging can make a big difference. However, if you're not careful, it can also get very expensive. The good news is that it's totally possible to stage your home without spending a fortune. Here are some tips for making home staging more affordable:
Less is More
You don't need a ton of furniture and decor to make your home look great. In fact, when it comes to staging, less is more. Remember, the whole point of staging is to set up your home so potential buyers can picture themselves living there. This means you'll want to remove anything bright, bold, or that reflects your unique personality. Consider covering bright paint with neutral colors and removing any unique artwork.
Use Existing Furniture
If your existing furniture is in decent shape and free of odors, you may be able to use it in your home staging. Sometimes, you can create a whole new look by freshening your couches and chairs up with furniture covers.
You'll also want to rearrange your furniture to create plenty of space and ensure an open flow from room to room.
Add Natural Touches
Depending on the time of year and the general theme of your home, you may be able to incorporate natural elements for an upscale look that's also inexpensive. For example, consider staging beach homes with driftwood and seashells. A live flower arrangement or natural wreath can also add a touch of class.
Focus on Small Details
Great staging is often about maintaining a minimal look while adding subtle details. Focus on inexpensive touches like beautiful throw blankets, matching bath linens, or a cookbook strategically placed on the kitchen counter.
It's easy to create a beautifully staged home without blowing your budget. All you need to do is get creative, use your imagination, and follow these tips. Need some more staging help? As your Listing Agent, I can provide even suggestions. When you're ready to sell, contact me to get started.
