In part 3 of our series of homestaging tips, we're talking about three spaces that tend to be very personal: the bedrooms, bathrooms, and home office. All of these spaces have the ability to make a good impression with buyers, but a little attention to detail can go a long way.
De- cluttering and cleaning up these spaces is important, and don't be afraid to shy away from a few simple and budget- friendly DIY projects to freshen these spaces and make them more appealing to buyers. A fresh coat of paint and updates can convince a buyer your home is right for them, especially when it means less work when they move in.
Show off how beautiful your bedroom is with a be that is made and looks cozy.
Simple touches- such as fresh paint and a few modern accessories
can help make a good impression with buyers.
Bedrooms:
- Clean & de- clutter; remove items from dressers and surfaces so the mess isn't distracting to potential buyers
- Dust and make sure light fixtures don't have any burnt- out bulbs (also make sure they're all the same, ie warm or cool light)
- Allow natural light into the room & turn on lights
- Make beds berfore a showing and remove any toys and clothes from the floor
- Make sure closets are tidy and organized to showcase storage space
- If you don't have a headboard, consider making a simple & inexpensive one (check out these DIY projects for ideas)
Even if your home is older, painting the cabinets and changing the hardware is a great cost- effective way to update
this room. Putting out fresh towels and a few decorative touches can help highlight this space.
Bathrooms:
- Clean toilet & sink; remove any stains and residue (make sure to put the toilet seat down)
- Wipe faucets and counters; make sure the mirror is streak- free
- Clean out the tub and make sure the sower curtain is clean
- Put out fresh towels to make the bathroom look tidy
- Remove any laundry and garbage
- Light a candle or spray some air freshener to make sure the bathroom smells fresh and clean
- Ventilate the room every day to help keep it smelling fresh
Showcase a home office by keeping it tiday and organized. Help buyers picture themselves working in the space
and make it warm & welcoming.
Office:
- Put away any personal paperwork; if you have a locked filing cabinet, make sure you file any documents you don't want people to see
- Tidy the desk and remove any untidy paperwork and clutter
- Make sure bookshelves are dust- free and organized
- Turn on a desk lamp if you have one to make the room feel cozy
- Tidy and/ or hide chords that can be a tripping hazard or are untidy
No matter the age of your home, a little attention to detail can make the difference between an interested buyer and a non- interested buyer. A clean and tidy home is essential to help it appeal to buyers, but a few added touched can really make it feel like home. If you're thinking about selling, we'd love to be the realtor team to help!
