How your home is staged while it’s on the market can make or break a sale. After accumulating many years’ worth of possessions, however, it can be tough to find a place to store everything while people tour the space. Luckily, with the help of a storage unit, you can make the home look clean, comfortable, and clutter-free to every prospective buyer. Here are some tips to keep in mind when staging a home and how self-storage can help the process.

The Benefits of Storage Units in Home Staging 

Staging 

Your home may be your sanctuary, but it should take on a different atmosphere while on the market. The goal is to provide a neutral environment so buyers can picture their possessions in the space. This means removing any pieces that are unique to your lifestyle and personal taste.

You have to start by decluttering. The more distracted potential buyers are by art, furniture, decorations, and other personality-defining pieces, the less they’ll be able to picture living in the house themselves.

Storing

Without extra space, decluttering can feel almost impossible. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to hide unwanted items in the closet; buyers usually look everywhere in the house when they tour. Instead, store your excess belongings in a storage unit to make the process easier and less stressful. 

Once you’ve gone through your home and identified all of the items that need to be removed, start moving them out of the house and into the storage unit. This allows you to hold on to all of your possessions while still staging the home in a way that is attractive to potential buyers. Even though they might be out of sight for a while, you can look forward to setting these items up in your new home once the sale is completed without having to permanently get rid of anything.
