Home staging can make all the difference in the world when it’s time to sell your home. From your living room to the kitchen and bathrooms, matching decor, sophisticated colors and smart organization choices can help make your home more attractive to buyers. If you’re thinking about putting your home on the market and aren’t sure where to start, these tips will help you make your home more attractive to buyers.

Paint With Neutrals

Repainting your walls can give your home a clean and well-maintained appearance. Neutral colors are sophisticated, gender-neutral and they match almost everything. When in doubt, choose neutral colors like beige, brown, gray and cream. Remember to paint samples on your walls before making a final decision. Some paint colors are brighter than they appear on the paint strips, and bright colors can be overwhelming to buyers.

Light It Up

Light can make a home seem cheerful and spacious. There are many different ways to bring light into a home.

• Mirrors: Install mirrors to bounce light around the room and brighten dark corners.
• Sheers: Take down heavy curtains and replace them with sheers. This will provide privacy while still letting light into the room.
• Lamps: Lamps make the home seem cozy at night. Buy a variety of small lamps and install them in each room of the house.

Hide the Toys

Pet toys or kid toys might be a part of your life in your house, but these items can make a home seem cluttered or untidy. For staging purposes, hide the toys in attractive baskets and storage containers.

Put Up Wall Art

Framed family pictures are so personal that they can make it difficult for home buyers to imagine themselves living in a property. Take down personal photos and put up wall art. This is especially important in rooms like the dining room and living room, where framed art will help show off the decorating potential of these formal spaces.

Accent with Greenery

House plants add a homey, cozy touch that home buyers love. Decorate rooms like the bedroom and office with plants that are healthy and lush. Don’t forget to trim the leaves when they become brown, and pick up any stems or dead leaves that fall down on the floor.

Use A Welcome Mat

A brand new welcome mat can make home buyers feel good about entering a property for the first time. Look for a welcome mat that has cheerful colors and a simple message. Keep your front stoop clean, and sweep the mat if it becomes dirty.

Consult With a Real Estate Agent

There are many things that homeowners can do to stage their home for home buyers. For more ideas about how you can decorate and stage your home for selling, talk to your agent before putting your house on the market.
