There are currently some great outdoor trends and wonderful ways
to re-imagine the exterior of your home! Here are some of the things
that inspire our team at Grafus Studios to create beautiful spaces!
OUTDOOR LIVING IS VERY TRENDY.
IMPRESS POTENTIAL BUYERS WITH
THESE OUTDOOR STAGING TIPS.
By creating a seamless transition from indoor
to outdoor living spaces, you not only
increase the value of a home but you also
create the illusion of extra square footage.
With the warmer season upon us, now is
the time to take advantage of the outdoor
lifestyle you can portray to sell your home.

Carry through the flow from the interior by
bringing in the same colors and furniture
styling to your outdoor living area. Our
favorite technique is to use cushions and
flowers outdoors that are similar to the
colors in the main floor of the home. This
helps create an undisturbed transition and
really creates the illusion of extra square
footage.
As you would inside your home prior to
taking photos and showings, sweep floors,
fluff pillows, and wipe down furniture. Use
a pressure washer to remove mold and
mildew from surfaces if necessary.
In larger yards, define your outdoor space.
Create an inviting eating area with a full
outdoor dining set where potential buyers
can envision hosting dinners. Add a small
conversation area with an outdoor sofa
or loveseat and chairs for that intimate
outdoor lifestyle.
Whether you are selling a large home with
a spacious yard or a condo with a small
balcony, do not miss out on adding financial
value to your home by staging these
outdoor spaces properly. - Text by Julie O, www.
