Holliday says that it is not important to have a popular furniture style when staging a home. “It’s best to stay traditional,” she said.
Thibodeaux says that homeowners should look at lighting fixtures. “People are looking at the skeleton of the home,” he said.
What lighting fixtures should homeowners buy? He suggests they should look at the trend. “Right now, people are buying stainless steel because that’s the way that the market is going,” Thibodeaux said.
Thibodeaux suggests that homeowners find a light fixture that is simple. “Go with something that is timeless and doesn’t look old. Go with simplistic and classic, because it transcends better,” he said.
It’s also valuable for homeowners to keep their kitchens, master bedrooms and master bathrooms upgraded. Buyers look at these rooms frequently. “The master bedroom and bathroom is the king’s quarters, while the kitchen is the company’s quarters,” Holliday said.
