The way you stage your home to potential buyers can make a big difference in how quickly it’ll sell. Here are three common mistakes when staging your home and how to avoid them.
- Using Generic and Cheap Decor: When decorating your home for potential buyers, don’t use generic, plastic, or cheap decor. Put some thought into staging your home while it’s on the market. Buy fresh flowers and place them in a nice vase on the table, fill empty spaces with potted plants, and place modern pillows on sofas and chairs.
- Keeping Personal Items On Display: Remove personal and seasonal items from your home when prepping for home staging. This could include family photos, holiday decor, awards, keepsakes, etc. The potential buyer should be able to envision themselves living in the home, and it can be difficult to do so with someone else’s personal items scattered around the house.
- Poor Furniture Placement: When staging a home, many tend to put couches and chairs up against walls, creating dead space in the center of the room. Furniture should sit a few feet away from the walls to showcase big windows, brightening the room with natural light. To create a more inviting environment, it’s a good idea to leave a few inches of space between your wall and sofa.
Keep these common mistakes in mind, and be sure to avoid them when getting ready to stage your home for potential buyers!
