Certified Feng Shui consultants that specialize in home staging are often used by homeowners and real estate agents to sell a home quickly for the best possible price. In today’s market, home staging has become essential part of selling a home. There are numerous applications done when a home is professionally staged. It is important to remember that a home’s environment designed to be nurturing for you to live full time will be quite differently designed for home staging. Here are just a few home staging tips you can begin to implement if you have a home on the market for sale.
· In home staging typically the more open your home’s space is the better it feels to prospective buyers. So the first thing is to clear out the clutter. Store away your personal knickknacks, family photos, religious art work, remove excess furnishings and pack up most your closet clothes. You will need to pack anyway so do it now so you can sell your house. People come from many cultures and different backgrounds. You want your home to be inviting to many types of prospective buyers. Showing a clean spacious neutral environment allows potential buyers to imagine themselves living there with their furnishings and personal belongings in your space. People buy based on emotion. Packing up all your personal items will make your home feel more desirable to visiting buyers.
· Make your bed every day and store away all personal toiletries placed on countertops in your bathrooms. Keep all toilet seats down. These little items will tend to turn off buyers if not taken care of.
· Remove all magnets, pictures, and drawings from your refrigerator. Store away all appliances on your kitchen countertops. Leave a focal point such as a beautiful centerpiece on your kitchen island. A bowl of fresh vibrant fruit with some bananas and red apples will help to show off your kitchen. The colors yellow and red bring cheer and positive feelings into a space.
· Turn on all lights during your homes showing. Make sure all rooms are well lighted and all lamps and overhead lights are working properly.
· Make sure rooms show a unified style and depict a specific purpose. Do not mix different styles such as Asian art combined with country theme. Do not show exercise equipment in your bedroom or show a office also as a kids play room of to the side. Make sure the room shows one specific purpose and style so it makes sense to the potential buyer.
· Use aromatherapy to help sell your home. Vanilla has been proven to be one of the top pleasing scents that prospective buyers respond positively to. This is why baking fresh cookies during a showing is such a hit with potential buyers. Have a classical or tranquil CD playing softly in your home on every level when you know potential buyers are coming by. These items will create a comforting, serene and relaxing environment. This will tend to make buyers linger longer and consider your home more over others.
· Show off any amazing views you may have. Place all furniture so that everything looks outside to that incredible private view. Great views sell homes! Block any unattractive views you may have, such as a AC unit or a messy neighbors backyard. Except when blocking a bad view have all the rest of windows drapes or shutters fully open and sparkling clean. Bright naturally lighted homes sell. Dark homes tend too feel depressing and do not sell as well.
