Real estate agents use different ways to sell homes, but the most effective method used is home staging. Staging a house makes the home presentable in the best way possible. It encourages prospective buyers to imagine living in that home. Since the housing market is competitive, staging your home will help you to shine above the rest because homebuyers are now accustomed to looking at a staged home in shows, and online.
What does it mean to stage your home?
To stage your home, you need to strategically plan your decor and furnishings in a manner that makes the house presentable to sell to anyone who is looking for a home. You can go for various ways to achieve this. You can get new decor items, or rent some furnishings. You can sell your home easily if you stage it.
One of the best ways to stage your home is by staging furniture. JMD Furniture would like to share with you four ways in which home furniture can help you sell your home.
Rent Furniture
You can remove the oldest furniture you have in your house. It can be tough to remove some furniture because people tend to get attached to house items. But if you reduce the number of furniture, your house will look bigger and more appealing to buyers.
To help you do this easily, JMD Furniture Founder Dev Joshi recommends that you have to shift your focus to the buyer and detach yourself from the house. When you do this, you will make the space more appealing for the buyer to have the best chance of purchasing your house.
If you don’t have furniture that looks showroom ready, then you need to replace them with new furniture. You can remove the older pieces and put them to storage, donate, or sell them. You can then borrow some pop-furniture or some other newer pieces of furniture that will strike an appeal to the buyer.
Rearrange the Furniture
After disposing of the old furniture, and renting some new furniture, position the chairs, couches, and tables from the walls and maximize the space in the house. This design technique is known as floating. You can then add an area rug in a wall-to-wall room carpet to create a cozy, ideal, and intimate space.
Always ensure that you use the right furniture size. If you go for large furniture, your room may seem small; if you go for small furniture, your space can feel cold. Avoid using cheap furniture but rent out quality furniture. As you arrange your furniture, keep in mind the room you are setting up. If it’s organizing the living room, you can place the seats to gather around the fireplace area.
Flooring
No home buyer would like to stay in a stained carpet. For a replacement on the type of floor you have, you can go for wooden floors which can be pricey. When you have hardwood floors, it will add elegance and value to your home. Additionally, the wooden floors are usually cheap to maintain, they offer long-term value to the house, and they are good for people who have allergies.
Use outdoor furniture
After cleaning, removing dead plants and placing fresh, colorful plants, you need to improve the decor of the lawn. You can begin by repainting the front door, and then place creative looking outdoor furniture to create an inviting space for your guests.
