Living room before & after staging
The easiest most important staging tips are very inexpensive & easy to do.
First, most important is to clean and remove all the clutter from your rooms. Depersonalize your space so others can see themselves living there.
Second, refresh the floor plan only have necessary furniture. You want your home to be as open as possible, and to have a functional floor plan.
Third, open up the curtains let all the light in possible. You want your home to be as light & bright as it can be! *See the diagram below for curtain rod placement on windows.
Fourth, showcase your homes most beautiful features! Whether it is beautiful wood floors or gorgeous windows! Show off the positive features & downplay the negative.Fifth, paint is an inexpensive quick fix to any room. Just keep it neutral, a sandy beige is always a great choice! *As you can see in the diagram below; the curtain panels should be mounted close the the ceiling and covering as little of the window as possible. Same size window but WOW, look how much bigger the one of the right looks! Adding more light into your rooms, illusion of a larger window & higher ceiling!
