If you’re prepping to sell your home, a strong first impression can not only woo buyers but also yield attractive offers. This is especially true for houses that are on the smaller end of the spectrum. The encouraging news is that, with the right staging tips, your house can stand out from the rest. Here are several effective measures real estate agents often use. 

4 Small House Staging Tips 

1. Bring in Mirrors 

Real estate agents who provide staging services rely on mirrors to give rooms more dimension. In a smaller house, consider hanging a medium to large one across from a window to amplify the space’s square footage. Avoid hanging mirrors too high up on walls. They will only capture ceiling fans, the top of curtains and other items that can restrict the space. 

2. Choose One Paint Color

One of the staging goals for a smaller home is opening up the space. By painting the walls in each room the same color, the aesthetic provides a seamless layout. Stick to neutral colors such as whites and taupes to minimize a crowded feel.

3. Tone Down Prints & Artwork

You want to make the interior of a smaller home feel vast and non-claustrophobic. By removing items with prints and other busy designs, you’ll create a more welcoming environment for potential buyers. In addition, take down paintings and artwork from walls and other areas to eliminate room confinement. 

4. Remove Clutter

Removing some of your belongings will play up all your home has to offer. Real estate agents advise sellers to go through each room and box up books, figurines, and other tchotchkes. When you declutter, the minimalist design helps home shoppers better visualize how they might utilize the space.
