Home Selling Must Haves: 2012 Home Staging Hot List

By
Home Stager with New England Home StagingĀ®

With the summer upon us, it seems like everyone is full throttle towards whipping that house into shape. Over the next few weeks we will be posting on the "must have's" for putting your best foot forward in the real estate market this year. Keep checking back for our "Hot List" updates. (or sign up for updates!)

 

2012 HOT LIST:

 

An Entry way SHOW STOPPER!

 

Putting your best forward begins at the door and the first thing on the list is a great front door. Even if your door is lacking luster, get out the paint and get that front door shining!

 

For those of you that just cannot resist the URGE to personalize that door. Keep in mind your potential home buyers probably do not share your last name initial therefore, instead go for personalization for your house instead of your family.

Help with Numbers

 

 

 

 

This year we are seeing bright colors and pattern making a huge impact in the design arena. Staging a house and using lots of color can be really tricky so if you are just dying to paint that door a color, keep in mind that color is a preference. Our recommendation would be black or gray.

 

 


 

mayyyybe a cheery yellow...if you must

 

 

Get a great planter, urns are probably our favorite

 

These lions are really great but keep the porch accoutrements to a minimum when selling!

This door is fabulous but power wash those steps!!

 

And last but not least...TAKE DOWN THAT CHRISTMAS DECOR!!

(remember; holiday decor is okay in moderation only if the holiday has not yet passed ;)

 

Stay tuned for our next hot list item

Stayci,  I really love all the front door ideas!  I may have to paint my front door just for the fun of it and put the personalization for the house on it.  I really love the Welcome painted on the black door! great post to bookmark and share with my potential seller clients here in MO
