What is home staging?

Why home stage

We want your viewers to want to buy your home. But to do so, they need to be able to imagine themselves living there. They need to see themselves cooking in your kitchen, relaxing in your lounge watching the tv and the kids playing in the garden. Home staging is about creating this desire.

Make the most of your best features

Room by room ask yourself what your best features are. It might be a view, so make sure your windows gleam and the windowsill are clutter-free. It could be a beautiful period fireplace, if so make sure it can easily be seen. You need to accentuate your best features. Could you make sure they instantly standout?

Clean and de-clutter

How clean is your home? Does it sparkle? How does it smell? These are all serious things you need to take into consideration when you are planning on putting your home up for sale. Homes which shine sell easier. We often use the car market as a comparison. If you were selling your car you would have it valeted, why should a house be different?

Get accessorising

Look at your home objectively. Start to think as a show house does. Fresh bedding and matching towels work wonders. Plump up the cushions. Add a bowl of fruit in the kitchen. Display some flowers. Pop on your lights. We need to evoke positive feelings from your buyers and make your home stand out from the rest.
