The first and foremost question that comes to mind is, What is Home Staging? Home Staging is getting your home all groomed up to sell. This easy-sounding job is actually a very tedious one. As we say, first impressions matter, and they play an important part in a house on sale as well. To imprint a good first impression on potential buyers, home staging comes in the light. From cleaning every corner to carefully crafting the home decor, it all has significance in home staging.
So let’s delve into a programmatic break-down of the art of Home Staging, to find your property a perfect buyer.
As we all know, the first sight one shortlists for their future home is the exterior appearance of any property. So let’s craft our curbsides for that first impression. One can incorporate different elements in the form of decorative ornaments, elevating aesthetics while adding a personal touch to the exterior. These elements could be unique, custom-made, and innovative, representing a theme, concept, or even a memory. Additionally, exterior lighting plays a major role in adding drama and depth to the exterior while highlighting the architectural features. It helps create a more captivating atmosphere during the night.
Line up your foyer with a good console and some plants to lead the way all towards elegant living room decor. Get rid of cluttered furniture like too many chairs and artifacts from your living room and give it a clean makeover. Get a statement chair or a vibrant carpet to highlight the area. Assemble some personal touch with ceramics, curtains, or creative sofa cushions.
The kitchen is one of the most used spaces in the house, which brings the family together. So clean up that clutter of utensils and give it a minimal touch-up to make it more visible. Clean up the countertop and display your fruit baskets as well as fancy crockery. If layout gives an opportunity, hang your best culinary collections above the breakfast table. Most importantly, add the right lighting fixtures to light up your home’s heart.
Highlighting each corner of your house is beneficial in maintaining the carefully crafted home staging. One can elevate the lobby spaces and transition spaces by simply putting up a line-up of interesting house plants. If the budget allows, one can also paint the floors differently to elevate the pathways. Let the sunlight play its part here to make the narrow transition spaces airy and lit up. Staircases can be highlighted by adding some artifacts on the risers or by incorporating a cool light fixture.
One of the highlights for any potential buyer is a bedroom space. So, transform your regular bedroom into a hotel room replica. Assemble the white bedsheets and multiple printed/boho cushions. Add a rug to the space monotony. Embed a table lamp or wall lamp fixture with warm lighting. Get those curtains in action. One can opt for sheer fabric curtains in case of a colorful bedroom interior or can go with printed ones to complement the simple decor. One can add the same theme to their bathrooms by replacing towels and rugs with white. To add a feeling of personal sanctuary to the bedroom, include the books and side tables with candles on them.
Nowadays, work from home is becoming a new highlight of the work-life. One looks for a functional space to run their office from home while buying a new property. Hence, assemble that corner nook or incorporate a multifunctional space for creating a small office space. Add a study table with a table lamp and the bookshelves to make it functional. Also, bring in those small houseplants to give it a personal touch. Additionally, one can create an office space in their bedroom area or by their dining space, considering Vastu in Indian context.
Yes, rather than hiding the storage units, show them off. When buying any property, enough storage space is one of the important requirements, so highlight all the different storage spaces in your home staging. This includes your closet space and drawers as well. Arrange your pantry, and fill those drawers and storage units with not too many things.
Clean up the bathrooms with a minimal, crafted setting and items on display. Add the white towels and floor matt, light up the scented candles, and arrange the shelves with minimal products. One can incorporate some tropical plants inside as well to make it look lively and pleasant. Add some quirky wall art to elevate the bathroom decor. Let your bathroom have its own personality.
Even with an adequate interior but inadequate lighting, the charm of your house can loosen up. Hence, let the abundant amount of natural light fill up the space with liveliness and an airy feeling to it. Even with minimal furniture, the proper amount of lighting can elevate the whole place. In case of smaller openings, one can go for installing the artificial lighting fixtures as per the areas. Using warm light in cozy spaces while embedding LED lights in dark spaces is one of the solutions.
While getting your home ready for staging, make it welcoming to others rather than personalizing it with your taste. Let the buyers imagine themselves residing in the space. Take off your photographs or any personalized home decor in that case. Add the wall art and mirrors, or paint the walls new for a change. That way, one can have a higher chance of getting the property sold out by home staging.
When it comes to property selling, various factors come into play, which can be taken care of by carefully home staging. For any property to sell in a lesser amount of time, the aesthetically appealing nature of your house is necessary, and it can be tackled by home staging. Apply the key points and understanding in curating your home staging.
