When staging your home to sell, there may not be room in the budget to completely renovate each room, but doing something is always better than doing nothing at all. I have helped thousands of clients with the preparation of their home and the two bedrooms I never neglect are that of the Master Bedroom and Guest Bedroom. While we will stage all bedrooms in an occupied home, it is really important that these two show well.

We all have a busy, hectic lifestyle and at the end of the evening it is comforting to know we have a wonderful, comfortable place to retreat to. A place we can kick off our shoes, read a great book and settle in for a restful nights sleep...Does your bedroom provide that restful haven for you?

When selling your home, your bedrooms need to reflect that restful place to a buyer.

Here are some examples of before and afters of bedrooms we have staged. Which ones would welcome you and your guests home after a long, hard day at work?

Master Bedroom Before...nice but still lacking the WOW Factor!

Master Bedroom After...a little staging goes a long way to completing the look and feel of your room

Master Bedroom Before: This room was actually nice before staging BUT once staged you will see that the room not only appears more appealing, but we were able to create a small sitting area in the far corner of the room, which now makes it a MASTER SUITE...

Master Suite After: Additional bedding, curtains and chairs add to the luxurious feel of the room.

Guest Bedroom Before:

Guest Bedroom After:

Master Bedroom Before: A bureau and TV should not be the first thing buyers see when entering into your master bedroom.

Master Bedroom After: Make your bed the focal point of the room and the first thing that buyers will see when they enter your room.  Always display your bed on the longer wall which will show off room enough for two night tables that MOST BUYERS HAVE.

Guest Bedroom Before:

Guest Bedroom After: Soft Linen White on the walls and new bedding make this room much more appealing to buyers

Master Bedroom Before: This room is clean, tidy and neat. Most times sellers think that this is staging but as you can see the room appears dated and a little tired.

Master Bedroom After: Removing dated curtains and adding colorful elements to the room updated the look of this room that now appeals to a larger number of buyers.

These are just a small number of bedroom transformations that we have accomplished over the last several weeks. Please do not neglect any room in your house when you are prepaing it to sell. Dress your house for success and make the investment into your home. Staging your home does not have to cost alot but the return on your investment will be well worth it.

Here are some examples of Living Rooms that went from uninviting to rooms that say WELCOME HOME TO BUYERS

LIVING ROOM BEFORE: This room boasted large windows, beautiful hardwood flooring and a great fireplace with built in bookshelves. Poor furniture arrangement and white walls left the room feeling tired and boring

LIVING ROOM AFTER STAGED BY RESTYLED TO SELL: Adding a rich color on the fireplace wall highlights the brick and bookcases. Simple furniture rearrangement and accessorizing adds the WOW factor to this space which was seriously lacking

LIVING ROOM BEFORE: This LR/DR Combo was being used as a toy room for the children. While that may be great for living, it simply will not work when trying to sell your home.

LIVING ROOM/DR AFTER STAGED BY RESTYLED TO SELL: By using furniture found throughout the house, we were able to create the homey atmosphere in these two rooms which is sure to welcome buyers. The loft area in this house became the new toy room for the children.

LIVING ROOM BEFORE: Remove dated pieces of furniture and update the look of your home

LIVING ROOM AFTER STAGED BY RESTYLED TO SELL: The carpets and wallpaper were removed and updated furniture was rented which gave this space the facelift it needed

There is no better title that I can think of than this....STAGE YOUR HOME TO SELL!!!! The message is clear and simple, the results are dramatic and the time your home sits on market makes all the difference in the world!

Staging is not out of reach for sellers and it is unfortunate that sellers and realtors are not educated in the TRUE COSTS of properly staging a home, because in the long run it could costs sellers THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN PRICE REDUCTIONS!

Decluttering along IS NOT STAGING, as I have mentioned several times over the past several years. It is ONLY THE BEGINNING of the necessary prep work to prepare the way for a home staging expert to complete the TOTAL LOOK of the home. 

Proper furniture placement to highlight selling features, correct colors to add warmth to walls and just the right amount of accessorizing is what a home staging professional is trained to do.

Here are just a few examples of how a home staging expert can enhance your listing:

LR BEFORE...Selling features in the home were being hidden by poor furniture arrangement and dark rug

LR AFTER...By angling the seating area buyers are now drawn to the large bay window and the room opens to the enclosed porch. The area rug was covering the beautiful hardwood flooring

LR BEFORE....Once again furniture arrangement is incorrect and heavy curtains hide the beautiful windows

LR AFTER....We brought in some furniture, artwork, area rug and accessorized which turned this LR into THE STAR OF THE HOME!

LR BEFORE...Too often clients remove necessary items as in this space. They had put their couch into storage and kept the loveseat and chair..Enter ReStyled to Sell Home Staging Experts

LR AFTER....We had them take their couch out of storage and we brought in the right accessories. I think you would agree that the transformation is HUGE, BUT THEIR BUDGET WAS NOT!!!

Staging your Home to Sell is mandatory to compete in ANY SELLING MARKET....Call on the Team of ReStyled to Sell Home Staging Experts of NJ @ 732-995-3425.

KITCHEN BEFORE....This was our biggest challenge, but I think you would agree the transformation is INCREDIBLE...

A little bit of accessorizing can go a long way when selling your home. A professional home staging expert is experienced in knowing where to place accessories around the home that will draw a buyers eye to specific selling features of the home. Too often, homes are either under accessorized or over accessorized.

As you look at these pictures you will see that a beautifully furnished home can seem cold and uninviting without proper accessories.Enter the Home Staging Expert!

DINING ROOM BEFORE...Beautiful furniture alone does not set the stage for a successful sale

DINING ROOM AFTER..Bringing in furniture that matches the clients table and removing the piece that does not, adds elegance to the space, making it a dining room anyone would be proud to entertain in

FAMILY ROOM BEFORE....Misplaced furniture can make a room seem smaller than it actually is.

FAMILY ROOM AFTER....Simple rearrangement draws a buyers eye around the room and shows off the true size of the space 

MASTER BEDROOM BATHROOM...too often sellers neglect this space. PLAY IT UP!!

MASTER BEDROOM BATHROOM AFTER...I love staging these rooms. Who wouldn't love this tub?

MASTER BEDROOM BEFORE...Never, I repeat, Never leave a blow up mattress on the floor and call it staging!!

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER...Same blow up mattress, but now placed on a proper frame with proper bedding the room has now become a master retreat!!

Home staging is not just about decluttering and placing furniture. A professional home staging expert brings the WOW factor to your space.

If you are selling your home and you think you cannot afford to hire a professional home staging expert, think again...This home in Watchung, NJ received three offers in under one month!!

When selling your home it is important to remember that your tastes and ideas of how your home should be shown will always be very different from the professional opinion of a home staging expert.

LR BEFORE....This home was newly remodeled but the seller was afraid that putting furniture in the room would make the space seem smaller. He staged the room with artwork and a small table which does nothing to enhance this space and welcome buyers in.

LR AFTER...Budget was a problem with the seller so we told him items we would need and he BORROWED furniture from his present home as this was an investment property.

We gave him a budget of $300.00, separate from the staging fee, which allowed us to purchase accessories to complete the staging and the results were drastic. These items are now his to use on his other investment properties. Now the buyers are welcomed into this space and the room DOES NOT LOOK SMALLER AT ALL!!

MASTER BEDROOM BEFORE...This client staged this room according to his tastes BUT this did not appear as a Master Bedroom suite and did nothing the tie into the beautiful bathroom that he invested money into updating.

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER....With newly purchased bedding and curtains the room is now a BEAUTIFUL MASTER RETREAT!!

A little knowledge can cost you money in the long run!!. In this case, we surprised the seller by working with his items, keeping within his budget and adding our flair for knowing how and where to place it all.

As a professional Home Staging Expert I have the privilege of helping hundreds of sellers with the preparation of their home. I find it fun and challenging, but in the end it is always rewarding as we hear of the great news that another house sold and sold quickly.

When staging your home to sell it is important the selling features of your home be evident to the potential buyers. It does not have to be a hard process. Remember this...what is the buyer ACTUALLY BUYING??

When they purchase your home, they are not purchasing your furniture or artwork, they are purchasing your flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fireplace, architectural elements of the home. We need to show them these things. They are also looking for SPACE...BUYERS LOVE SPACE.

I have found that too many times clients have their furniture arranged in a manner that actually makes the space look smaller...so here are some simple rearrangments that we did that make a dramatic difference...both in photos on the MLS and in person.

LR BEFORE...There were too many blockages in this room and the selling features, once again, are not begin shown

LR AFTER...The room appears much larger, the floors and large window are now evident to all, and there is a clear path for buyers to walk around when viewing your home.

In this LR Before pic the room seemed long and the conversation area did not seem cozy.

LR After..Here we angled the furniture and changed out the area rug to create warmth. By removing some dated features the room is fresher and younger...in the clients own words. They were thrilled with the small changes we made, but it made a huge impact on the buyers first impressions.

Staging your home for sale can be as simple as decluttering and rearranging. While this may seem like an easy solution it is always advised that your leave the furniture arrangement and accessorizing to the expertise of a home staging expert.

How important is it for you to stage your home PRIOR TO LISTING?? As a seller, you may think it is not necessary because your house shows well, or it is so minimally priced that staging is NOT something you would be able to afford. Before you cast the idea of staging your home aside, please take a look at the following before and afters.

This seller was smart and KNEW that staging this home would show buyers the true potential and living space that this house has to offer. This is something that MOST BUYERS cannot envision when looking at a vacant space.

If you ever watch HOUSE HUNTERS on HGTV, you will notice that time and time again, buyers will look at a vacant space and question whether or not their furniture will fit. The owner knew that the same would happen here if he did not stage...take a look at the transformation!

LIVING ROOM BEFORE

LIVING ROOM AFTER..the owner purchased new carpeting and he and I purchased the couch, loveseat, chair and ottomon. This allowed him to stage within his budget. The accessory package belonged to ReStyled to Sell.

KITCHEN BEFORE....the cabinetry was dark and dated and there was very limited counter space and storage.

KITCHEN AFTER...By painting the cabinetry, the kitchen appears brighter and updated. New countertops were purchased and extended to create more space. Shelving was added as well to create more storage. All in all a kitchen that any buyer would love

MASTER BEDROOM BEFORE...HMMM, CAN WE FIT A BED??

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER...ABSOLUTELY!!

SECOND BEDROOM BEFORE...Whose room can this be??

AFTER...what little girl would not LOVE THIS SPACE to call her own?

THIRD BEDROOM...by now you must be asking yourself, what else can fit in this house??

AFTER...How about the nursery!!

After taking the tour of this home, I think that you would agree to NOT STAGE YOUR HOME PRIOR TO LISTING is a huge mistake that you cannot afford to make.

I have always said this in the past and it still holds true today. The worst thing a client can do when selling their home is NOTHING!! Even a little preparation can go a long way. Over the past several weeks we have had the opportunity to work with many sellers in the preparation and staging of their homes for sale. I want to take this time to share the TOP FIVE AREAS TO ADDRESS.

MUST DO # 1: DECLUTTER...Remember buyers are there to buy your home and they will get distracted by your items that may be blocking the selling features of your home. DECLUTTER, PACK, DISCARD and STORE. Make your HOME be THE STAR!!

LIVING ROOM BEFORE..Buyers cannot see the true size of the room and the large window and fireplace are being blocked by owners items

LIVING ROOM AFTER...Pack it, store it and discard it. Simple staging and painting the walls a warm color to compliment the fireplace now shows this room's true potential

MUST DO # 2: PANELING...PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT...that is the question!! This is the one simple way of updating the look of your home. Simple primer and paint can immediately take your room from the 70's to current times. Here are a few examples of homes we have worked on for your review. I think you will see that the transformation is well worth the investment in painting

BEDROOM BEFORE....Small, dark and dated

BEDROOM AFTER...Paint, decluttering and proper furniture arrangement completely transformed this room

MUST DO # 3 MASTER BEDROOMS SHOULD BECOME MASTER RETREATS, enticing Buyers to relax and unwind at the end of their long day!! 

Master Bedroom Before...Too many items and personal photos create distractions to buyers

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER...By removing some heavier pieces of furniture and artwork and painting with a warmer color on walls the room becomes more inviting.

MASTER BEDROOM BEFORE...

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER..By adding a decorative element over the bed we created a headboard which adds presence to the space. We also swapped out the smaller scaled tables with larger bureaus from another room

MUST DO # 4..REMOVE RUGS AND EXPOSE THE BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOD FLOORING. This is one recommendation that I ALWAYS make to sellers. It is silly to keep old, worn carpeting and tell clients that you have hardwood flooring. TEAR IT OUT AND SHOW THEM THE FLOORS. If floors are worn, then I advise clients to have them refinished or AT LEAST get an estimate for same. This way you are equipped for any credits the buyers may ask for.

Which floors would you rather have?? Bedroom Before (again, dark paneling)

BEDROOM AFTER..rugs are removed and with simple furniture arrangement as well as the paneling painted, a buyer will choose this space over the before ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!

MUST DO # 5...Update Kitchens and Bathrooms: Don't let this be a scary item as in most cases these rooms can be updated for a reasonable cost to seller.

Painting cabinetry and installing new countertops is a quick fix for most kitchens. Removing floral patterns in the bathroom and cleaning as well as painting can spruce bathrooms up as well. Here are some examples you can follow:

BATHROOM BEFORE...

BATHROOM AFTER...by simply adding warmer accessories you can completely update the look of your bathrooms

KITCHEN BEFORE AND AFTER...a new countertop, darker paint, and painting cabinets gave this room an updated look and brought in THREE FULL PRICE OFFERS within 24 hours!!

When staging your home to sell it is ALWAYS important to remember that with SIMPLE CHANGES and hard work you can transform your home from a home that sits on the market to a home that has buyers making offers in record time!!
