Affordable Staging Ideas

In fact, there are professional stagers who provide consulting and installation for home staging. As your real estate agent, I will provide you with a staging professional who will share with you practical ideas to get your home prepared for sale.

Here are some simple, affordable staging tips:

• Make each room look as spacious as possible. This may mean putting some items, and even some furniture, into storage.
• Remove unnecessary items from countertops, tables and shelves.
• Keep decorative objects on shelves, tables and even sofas, in odd number groupings. According to Barb Schwartz, the originator of staging, this combination works best. So, put three pillows on a sofa, not two or four.
• Make an older-looking piece of furniture look quaint and stylish by adding a throw cover.
• Add life and good looks to just about any living space by adding flowers or a flowering plant.
• Have the table set with your best china. It makes the buyer want to move in and sit down for dinner!
• Consider replacing the sink, faucets and toilet to make an older bathroom look much better. It’s relatively quick and inexpensive.

Professional stagers look at your home through the eyes of the buyer. Do the same and you’ll be able to see what changes need to be made.
