Staging your Home by Ricardo the Realtor and Team

We think of our homes based on how they fit our lives and needs. Our lifestyles set the parameters of how we choose to create our living spaces. Often when we determine the functionality of a room we keep it that way. It’s very common to keep furniture, and decorations in the same spots for ages. When we choose to sell our home, it is important to take a step back and see how dynamic our space can be. It’s up to us to transform this property that we have thought of as a home into an attractive abode for others. Staging a home is an art but Lifestyles of Long Beach  have put our heads together and come up with a couple tips that can start you off on the right track.

Less Furniture Makes a Room Look Larger

The Stage: Making your Space have more Space

Sometimes less is more and when it comes to furniture this is great rule to follow. A space will feel larger and less cluttered by removing excess furnishings from the area. Try moving around some of your furniture to different rooms and see if that can help you get more space without actually having to get rid of anything. In addition, by placing the furniture to the center of the room you can create a comfortable grouping.  This can help traffic flow and make the space more user-friendly.  Get rid of any clutter around the home, this is an inexpensive way to increase the feel of sophistication. Transform any rooms that usually serve to gather junk into cozy yoga nooks or relaxing reading rooms by removing the hodgepodge and adding a comfortable seat and a kooshie rug. Long Beach Homes for sale suggests cleaning up your closets. This will make them appear to have more space which is a feature high on many buyers lists.

A New Coat of Paint Freshens up a Room

Make-up: Pamper the Property with Paint!

Adding a “fresh coat of paint” can make a big difference to how old a house feels. Look around your home and see what surfaces might look a little faded or scuffed up. Inside and out all of your walls should look fresh, clean, and vibrant. An addition of a pleasant neutral color on an accent wall can draw attention to a dramatic fireplace or a lovely set of windows.  If you have a small kitchen and dining room, painting both rooms the same color will make them feel like one big space. Adding a coat of paint to the kitchen cabinets can make the room look fresh and clean. Purchasing new cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and dishwasher panels can revitalize your kitchen. If not, laminate paper, which goes on like contact paper, can be used to re-cover the existing panel. Consider painting over old bathroom tiles, stairs, or decks if they look worn or weathered. Make sure that any repairs that you started are completed. Unfinished projects can scare off potential buyers.  Besides they cost you less to fix than buyers might deduct from the asking price. Ricardo the Realtor and his team give the  example of repairing or having a floor professionally waxed will cost a little but will increase the value of your home.

Inexpensive Accessories can be found in your backyard!

 

Props: Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize!

Adding little touches here and there can make a home more welcoming and entice timid buyers to be more interactive and therefore more interested.  Take a look around your garden and see if there are any clippings that can become a beautiful spring bouquet or a blazing fall wreath. Accessories can help in reinventing spaces that will inspire buyers.  Place a table in a pretty window area and top it with buffet lamps and elegant stationary to transform it into a beautiful writing desk. In the main bathroom, accessorizing can make buyers feel like they're in a spa. Put out items like rolled-up towels, decorative baskets and candles. Adding little touches to your home is a great way to create a polished look, and it doesn't cost much to do.

Each room is important to consider when staging your home.
