Adding Appeal Adds Perceived Value: Staging Modest Connecticut Homes
While every house can benefit from a professional Home Stager's advice, modestly priced homes usually dictate a modest Home Staging budget. However, even a small investment in Staging can have a huge impact in how that house is perceived. If the kitchen and bathrooms are in good order, I recommend making the most of the Master bedroom! Add some appeal and value!
Before: While placing a bed under a window is not the best way to go, it was the only location for it in this room. However, the window treatment is rather sad, giving the room a haphazard, accidental arrangement.
After: New full-length drapery panels and longer rods provide a much more dramatic backdrop for the bed! Now the room arrangement looks intentional. Notice how the drapery extends beyond the width of the headboard, visually expanding the space. The window also appears larger because the drapery is hung to either side. This lets in much more light, which buyers love. The addition of more sophisticated, matching lamps upgrades this Master bedroom.
Editing and cleaning are low-cost fixes, as is fresh paint in today's neutrals. Good-looking, inexpensive lamps, bed linens and drapery panels are now available from a variety of sources such as Target or Ikea. When in doubt, go for simple forms and patterns. I recommend matte fabrics over shiny. Trust me: a $12.00 drapery panel in a simple cotton twill (from Lowes) will look richer than a shiny voile.
A modestly-priced Staging Consultation from a professional Home Stager will provide an in-depth DIY plan to Stage your house. Features are highlighted, square footage and traffic flow are enhanced, and a certain flavor can be added to appeal to the target buyer.
