When selling a house, there’s a lot you need to do to prepare the space to convince buyers to choose your home. One of these tasks that real estate insiders swear by is staging. The right staging can enhance the look of your home and give it the selling power it needs for a quick turnaround. Below, you'll find three quick and easy tips to transform your home into an inviting and buyer-worthy space.

3 Staging Tips to Boost Your Home’s Selling Power

1. Declutter & Reduce Belongings

One of the most important rules of staging is to declutter your home. Even if every room is perfectly organized, too many items can be distracting for buyers. Luckily, you can rectify this problem by reducing the number of belongings in your home and moving excess items temporarily to storage. Start with closets and downsize to your most-used pieces, and then move on other areas and reduce the number of decorations and accent pieces that could potentially overwhelm the space.

2. Place Flowers in Multiple Rooms

Adding flowers throughout your home is a simple, yet powerful, way to enhance the visual appeal of every space. Both freshly cut and potted plants create an inviting atmosphere. The pleasant aroma of fresh flowers also helps mask odors from pets or food that may linger throughout the day.

3. Spruce Up Walls & Floors

Another important aspect of staging is creating a clean, crisp environment. This process includes a heavy duty cleaning of floor and walls, as well as completing minor cosmetic updates like painting. When selling a house, you want the buyer to envision the space as their own, so it's important to offer a neutral environment. If there are any brightly painted walls or busy wallpaper prints in your home, consider painting the space with neutral colors that are easily adaptable to all design tastes.
