As a professional home stager, I visit the mls on a regular basis to see what's out there on the market. Many times the main living areas look nice and maybe even professionally done. Then the photo tour goes to the leftover rooms, the spare or the "no one knows what to do with" room.
Here the visual impact falls apart. Some of these rooms are used as storage for mismatched furniture, or worse anything that the owners don't know where else to put. A room might be used a guest room, but the old bedding and again, the mismatched or outdated furniture gives a bland unappealing vibe.
The main living areas may have been painted recently, but alas these poor "step-rooms" still sport the original builder grade paint. These unstaged rooms can kill the good feelings that the potential buyers had when they first entered the staged part of the home.
An uncluttered, warm, neutral, yet beautiful atmosphere is a must in every room of a home that is on the market. Owners, ignore valuable real estate, by overlooking some rooms thinking no one will notice. They will. At least seek the advice of a home staging professional about how to make every room in your home be enticing to potential buyers.
A staging consultation could save you money, make you money and save you a lot of anguish from having your home sits on the market while its staged competition with their great mls photos sell.
Leave no room behind or unstaged.
