Staging Ideas for Your Entry

By
Real Estate Agent with Stewart Estates

 

Curb appeal is of course critical to home sellers. If you don't create enough interest on the outside, potential buyers may not want to see what's on the inside. But after you've gotten them in the door, you need to truly inspire them. Here are five very important staging tips to do just that.

 

    • Update your ceiling fixture. If you have a chandelier, make sure it's a more current style. And if your "chandelier" is only a ceiling fixture, it still needs to be updated. This is one of the first thing the potential buyers see when they enter, so make sure it gives them a hint (a good one) of what's to come.

 

 

 

    • Welcome everyone with an area rug.  Even if the flooring is lovely, an area rug feels warm and inviting. Choose a size that is large enough to cover a large portion of the floor. If you need color in the entry, choose one that is more colorful. But don't make it too distracting with lots of color and a busy print because you want people to notice the house, not the rug.

 

 

 

    • If you have a plug, add a lamp (preferably on a table). Yes, the ceiling fixture is important, but lamp light creates a warm, welcoming glow. (Make sure you keep it turned on.)

 

 

 

    • Hang a mirror. Mirrors should be used carefully throughout the house as you want to make sure they are either useful, expand the space, or reflect something pretty. But a mirror in a small entry can help it feel larger. It can also reflect the light from the lamp or the chandelier.

 

 

 

  • If you have enough room, add an upholstered chair. Sometimes there is a table, which is another hard surface. Of course the rug mentioned above adds softness, but an upholstered chair really makes the space warm and inviting. The chair doesn't have to be large. And having only an upholstered seat or back is fine.
