While it might not be on the top of your list of staging priorities, your laundry room is a key feature that can make or break a sale. So, it’s important to spruce it up and show it off to potential buyers. The following are some simple tips to transform this tiny space when selling your house. 

Staging Your Laundry Room: How to Sell This Space

1. Show Off the Storage

Laundry rooms should be functional above all, so make the storage space stand out. Use the shelves to hold baskets, towels, and laundry detergent. You might even want to add an extra shelf to take the room up a notch. Buyers will also be looking for details like a space for folding, so clear off a work area.  

2. Keep It Spotless

Potential buyers want to see a clean laundry room since this space is meant to have a fresh feel. Ensure the space is free of clutter, dust, and grime. This will likely mean moving some clothes and other items out of the space temporarily. If the space doubles as a spot for your cat litter or other pet items, keep the area free of odors.  

3. Add Pops of Color

While selling your house, you will likely keep your laundry room bright and white. However, pops of color can add style to the space. A colored wall, cabinet, or shelving unit makes even the most ordinary room more fun. You can also experiment with a colorful rug or piece of art. Just stick within one color family to keep the decor cohesive. 

4. Brighten the Light

If your laundry room is in the basement, it might not be the brightest room in the house; however, lighter colors in the space can highlight it during your open house. Add brighter lights to make the room more inviting. If there is a window in the room, be sure that natural light can come in. This brightness can also make a small space look larger, which can be key when selling your house.
