When it comes to the walls it ' s best to stay neutral . Use colors such as taupe , grey , ivory , or soft white . These colors allow rooms to appear larger and allows light to bounce around . It is also a perfect backdrop for a bold sofa or a bright piece of art . You don ' t want your space to be boring , but you have to allow the buyer to envision their style in your space .
Curb appeal is everything ! The lawn or front yard should be manicured and free of debris .
Degrease the driveway and put the garbage cans away . The front entrance should be clutterfree . A nice welcome mat and a couple of hearty plants should adorn the front entrance . A beautifully painted front door costs little but makes a bold statement .
If some of your furniture is damaged , old , or outdated , you may want to consider replacing it by picking up a few newtoyou pieces to add to your collection . This does not require you to purchase brand
54 new items . You can use websites such as Craigslist , Letgo , Facebook Marketplace , etc . to buy at marginal prices . You may even find a " free " item that would fit in nicely with your existing furniture .
It would be advantageous to look at real estate or home / garden magazines . Real estate magazines with listings will show you what staged homes look like . Just make sure they are dated currently . The last thing you want to do is pick up a magazine from 2005 when you ' re selling in 2020 . Another idea is to look around your area and see how they are staging , then up your game .
Last but not least photograph your home . This may be one area where you want to hire a professional . A professional photographer knows angles , lighting , and spacing . Professional pictures give you greater preference in advertising than amateur photos will . Open houses are great but a picture speaks a thousand words .
