10 COMMANDMENTS of HOME STAGING

December 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Home Staging, Interior Decorating

Take Care of the Outside
Remove all your garbage, and make sure that the grass, trees, and bushes are nicely trimmed. Remember, you cannot sell a house if you can’t see it!
Invest in Storage
Clear away any unnecessary furniture throughout the house and stash it somewhere offsite. All of your rooms should showcase their intended function.
It’s Not Personal
Remove all of your personal items such as family photos and any collections you may be displaying. You are selling your house, not your belongings.

Let the Sunshine
A well-lit home is essential. Make sure every room is well lit, and replace any burnt out light bulbs. Add table lamps wherever necessary.
Spic ‘n Span Kitchens
Be sure to clear countertops to showcase usable space and take the magnets off the refrigerator door.
Showcase Closet Space
Only keep the current season of fashion wear in the closet, and pack away the rest. Closets must look tidy and spacious. Plus, you’re moving soon… might as well get a head start.
Beautiful Bathrooms
Clear the vanities and stash away all personal items. As a bonus tip, coordinate towels to one or two colors only.
Paint Like the Swiss
Colours must be neutral. If you’re not sure, get a professional opinion before you paint the wrong colour!
Screen the Screens
Remove all unused screens from the home and clean the windows – this will add up to 30% more natural light to your house
Invest in your Sale
Invest in a reputable staging company. When done right, you should get between 6-30% more money for your property

Since I started using The Last Detail Home Staging, all my listings sold within a week. One even sold within 2 days, and the buyer wanted to purchase the furniture.

Staging a home is critical to fetch top dollar for my sellers. I often can't price a property until „The Last Detail“ has done their magic.

Thanks to Ella and her team of experts my Sellers have seen a huge return on their investment in Staging.

Thanks Ella!
