Make Your Home Stand Out During an Open House
Home staging is one of the most
important aspects of the selling
process and many homeowners
put in a great deal of effort to
make sure their
house is set up
nicely. There are
several tips that
real estate agents
provide to sellers
to make their
homes appealing
to buyers, but some
sellers may want to
go the extra mile
to make sure their
property
stands
out among other
homes that may be
for sale in the area.
Balance accessories and
furniture
A home’s decor will paint buyers
a picture of how their home may
look and all of the different ways
they can decorate a room, so
it’s important to balance out the
accessories and furniture.. For
example, a room filled solely with
modern dark couches and sofas,
glass
tables
and
sharpedged furniture
can make it
feel cold and
intimidating.
On the other
side, a living
room that is
full of cushy
furniture,
plush
rugs
and oversized
accessories can
appear too soft
and heavy. Industry professionals
recommend balancing out these
styles to make a house appear
modern, but still complete with
subtle touches of character.
The same is true when it comes
to choosing color patterns for furniture and accessories. For exam-
ple, homeowners who have dark
couches may want to add a splash
of color to the room in the way
of a bright vase, picture frames,
flowers or other accent pieces.
According to U.S. News and
World Report, when it comes to
actually decorating, homeowners
should abide by the rule of three.
This refers to placing no more
or no less than three items on an
table or small furnishing, which
can make the area look either too
crowded or too bare. On side tables, for example, consider staging a book, a lamp and a candle to
add some color and balance.
Make sure the house is
immaculate
The importance of displaying a
clean home cannot be stressed
enough, but there are certain
areas that home sellers sometimes
miss. For example, individuals
may wash down floors, counters
and walls, but forget to dust
452-1639
bookshelves,
ceiling
fans,
figurines or plants. While the
rest of the home may be spotless,
the dusty areas that have been
forgotten may stick out more
prominently. It may take a bit of
time to organize your closet but
making sure all clothes are hung
and folded properly is important
and can make a closet look larger
as it won’t be cluttered.
It is common for homeowners
to think that selling a home is an
expensive endeavor, which may
in turn cause them to hold off on
putting their home on the market.
If you’d like advice on staging
your home for resale, call one of
our agents and we can give you
some great advice:
