8 home staging diy tips

Our team is so proud to include a seasoned professional home stager who is available upon request to all of our sellers.
It’s long been proven that staged homes spend considerably less time on the market then their unstaged comps. We highly recommend using this service to give your home every advantage to sell for top dollar.
But, just in case you don’t feel you have the budget to put towards professional staging, here’s some DIY tips we’ve tried that make a HUGE difference. .
You’ll notice that none of our suggestions are style specific, budget busting, or require any advanced handyman skills… These tips are completely achievable and are focused on proper proportions, using items to accentuate the positives of your floor plan and colors that don’t challenge a buyers personal taste.

  • Paint front door and trim
  • Buy a newwelcome mat

  • Frame the door with potted plants
  • Line paths with bricks and/or solar lights

2-Paint: The best bang for your buck

  • Interior and exterior
  • Refresh dingy walls
  • Hide bold colors

3-Declutter

  • Take out 1 to 2 pieces of furniture per room
  • Remove 50% of all closets contents
  • Pack up family pictures, personal items, quirky conversation pieces, and anything you probably won’t need for the next six months
  • Store off-site

4-Rugs

  • Layer rooms with clean, properly proportioned rugs
  • Make sure all front legs of the furniture in a conversation area are touching the rug

5-Curtains

  • Hanging light and airy curtains floor to ceiling makes your room look and feel much taller

6-Mirrors

  • Use mirrors to open up areas of a home like hallways
  • Hang where it would be nice to have a window

7-Hotel-ize all Linens
