Spring is a good time to put your house on the market; the weather is prime for new beginnings, and buyers are eager to make a move before the summer. To turn this interest into a sale, it’s essential to master your home staging. The following are some staging tips to consider when selling a house this spring. 

How to Stage Your Home in the Springtime

1. Embrace Spring-cleaning

You might already be in the habit of deep cleaning your home each spring, but this ritual can also enhance your home staging. Be sure to clear your home of clutter, keeping all surfaces minimal. Open the windows and be sure to remove all dust. Your home should feel fresh and airy, helping potential buyers feel at ease. 

2. Cut Fresh Flowers

Selling a house is all in the details, and flowers can make the space feel like spring. Cut some flowers from your garden, or buy some from a florist. Even just one vase in each of the main living spaces can brighten your home and welcome prospective buyers. Adding some houseplants to the staging can bring a bit of freshness into your home as well. 

3. Remember Curb Appeal

Spring is the perfect time to show off your yard since flowers are blooming and leaves are budding. Invest in a bit of landscaping to trim the trees, weed the gardens, and freshen the lawn. Add garden ornaments to the yard and potted plants on your front step. Also, be sure that the shudders, siding, windows, doors, roof, and gutters are in top condition. These details are always key when adding to the curb appeal and selling a house.

4. Use Spring Scents

Pleasant smells can make your house feel like home and help it stand out among other properties on the market. Light a few candles and plug in an air freshener or two. However, don’t go overboard. Make the house smell clean and floral without overpowering the space.
