When the weather is dark and gloomy outside, it can be hard enough to get buyers to go outside, much less see your home in its best light. Fortunately, by making a few tweaks and working with a real estate agent, you can attract the attention your home deserves. Here are three ways to stage a home during winter. 

Tips for Home Staging During Winter

1. Keep Up With Yard Maintenance

While much of your yard may be covered in snow and far from booming, do what you can to keep up with outdoor maintenance. Shovel any sidewalks and driveways, remove fallen leaves and branches from gutters, and keep porch areas and entryways clean and tidy. Chat with your real estate agent about where people will most likely park when they come so that you can clear the appropriate area. 

2. Add Lighting

To make your home warm and welcoming during winter, add layers of lighting throughout your space. In addition to table and floor lamps, turn on overhead lighting so your home feels bright and happy, even on a cold winter’s day. 

3. Use Texture 

Consider incorporating texture into your space to make your home feel softer during winter. Add chunky knitted blankets to sofa areas, fluffy, folded towels to bathrooms, and beautiful rugs to living areas. If you don’t have these kinds of accessories, talk with your real estate agent about using a professional home stager.
