Staging your home for sale can add thousands of dollars to the asking price, and most of the work can be achieved by you with little cost and some effort. Here’s how:
• Winning Windows - Replace tired looking curtains and heavy drapes with a more modern and breezier feel. Try sheer fabrics which allow the space to feel more open. Choose floor length curtains and hang them from the ceiling instead of at the top of the window frame, to make the room appear taller.
• Bathroom Beauty - Buy white towels to stage your bathroom – fluffy monochromatic hues will create a spa affect and give the impression of luxury. They also look clean and fresh.
• Rug Right - Find a rug that fits the space and makes the room look bigger. Avoid one that is too small and always ensure the front legs of your couch and chairs are touching the rug. This will pull the room together and make the space look larger.
• Bookcase Bliss – Remove 25 per cent of your books straight away to create a decluttered feel. Afterwards, rearrange the shelf so that some books are stacked horizontally and others are artfully slanted or vertical. Add some interesting trinkets and ornaments to act as bookends, adding character and charm.
• Polished Presentation – If you are selling your home make sure you deal with any repairs and chip marks before prospective buyers view your house and see a minefield of maintenance jobs to attend to. Get the filler out and plaster the little chips in the walls and then add a fresh coat of paint.
• Declutter and Depersonalise – When prospective buyers come to view your house they want to imagine themselves living there and a decluttered, depersonalised space allows them to do that best. Unfortunately, this means removing family photos from walls, clearing away nick-knacks and minimalizing personal effects as much as possible.
• Focus On The Three – the kitchen, master bedroom and living room are considered the most influential rooms when buyers are assessing whether to purchase a property. Use fresh, good quality linen in the bedroom, cluster up the cushions on each side of the lounge setting and wipe your sink with lemon for extra sparkle.
