Home Staging Tip: Fluffy white towels can mean more than you think

Home staging is often understanding the details of what will make a difference to home buyers. A stack of fluffy white towels means luxury and tranquility. It may mean clean, or the possibility of a better future. While no one will think this out rationally when they are viewing a home it speaks to the inner voice that says whether this is "home" or just another house.

Look through bathroom photos on Pinterest, Houzz, and any other online magazine and you'll see that part of the mystic of a beautiful bathroom is a stack of fluffy white bathroom towels. As a professional home stager, we employ this trick from time to time. We know that most people see a neat stack of fluffy white towels as a sign of luxury. 

 Why does a perfect stack of towels mean luxury?

 
I'm not really sure we can over analyze this question since understanding the answer can mean more money for our home sellers and as a professional home stager in Chicago, that's my job. Fresh, fluffy, white towels always represent clean. Stacked perfectly on the shelf they represent the life we want. The life we strive for in ever pinned image that our ideabooks can hold. Creating the image of this life can help potential buyers believer that they can have it here, in this home. 
 
 
Most people don't live this way. Most of us live with a hodge podge of towels. We have some that we know we should have thrown away years ago, and we've bought new ones to replace them, but there they are, all stacked together, a variety of colors and sizes, packed in our closets. Frayed edges, sitting in lopsided piles, we yearn for a more organized life, someday. Maybe if we just had more space. 
 
 
When selling your home, it's important to understand that the perception of home buyers can mean the difference between a quick home sale, and the offers that are presented. By using imagery represented in digital dream homes and spaces, you can help buyers connect and want to buy. Small changes can make a big difference.

Great tip.  Thanks for re-blogging this one.  I must've missed it the first time around.  I agree, white and fluffy just look clean.  And, Pinterest is a great place to look for other ideas.
