Cleanliness does more for a sale than staging, so it is essential that a staged home is immaculate.
In addition, a solid consistent design throughout the home is critical for a unified look. It’s also important to remember that staging begins at the curb, so pay attention to the outside of the home. This includes the front yard, foundation plantings, walkway to the front door, and the front porch area inclusive of house numbers, mailbox, and door décor.
Any un-staged areas such as a basement, attic, or garage, for example, must remain neat and organized.
A seller should consider using different styles in different rooms as it can make a home more appealing to a wider audience. Also, highlight stand-out features of a home such as an unusual backspace. The aim of staging should always be to elevate the experience of a home.
