Home Staging Tips

By
Real Estate Agent with Baird & Warner

I believe some of the basic things you can do to stage your home effectively would include hiring a professional stager/decorator that can prvide useful tips and  guide you to a theme for your home. 

Some of the things used may be re-texturizing tables or lamps.  Adding art work to be cohesive with a color theme.  Providing an inviting look with vinettes; providng light, color and texture.  These are done with small lamps in dark corners - say on a kitchen counter top - which then provides a focal point.

Decorative items should be purchased by the Seller and should still be useful in their new home.  This makes the money invested have a double impact.  Use fresh colorful towels, soaps, placemats & glassware to achieve the theme you are after.  These items can be purchased inexpensively at discount stores, liquidatior or even your local grochery/pharmacy store.

What are some of the things you feel would be attractive to you as a buyer when considering a new home?  What appeals to you?

I never thought I'd be interested in house staging in my career, but after watching those TV shows about staging and the turn in the market, I am thinking of taking a class when its in or around my area.

Staging can be very effective I'm told.
