Home Staging Tips

The most important thing people can do to improve their home is to clear up, clean out and get rid of clutter.  Stagers say if you haven't used it in 3 months, pack it up and store it away.  If you haven't used it in a year, throw it away.  Don't be overwhelmed with a houseful, start with one room at a time. 
  • Arrange knickknacks in odd groupings such as 3, 5 or 7.
  • Use bright colors for accents such as flowers, pillows, throws.
  • Bring in plants to liven up the space.
  • Arrange furniture in vignettes to create conversation areas.
  • Use smaller sofas and chairs to make the room appear larger.
  • Artful placement of mirrors adds depth and dimension.
  • Showcase a generous usage of soft fabrics such as silk, lambswool, satin by tossing throws over a chair or sofa.
  • Don't block windows, let in the light.
  • Plug in lamps to illuminate dark corners.
  • Inexpensive baskets make great hiding places for unsightly paperbacks while adding texture and visual interest.
  • Too much furniture is one mistake homeowners make.  Consider arranging a few core pieces in the area and see what a difference it makes.
  • Pull furniture away from the walls to create groups and help with the traffic flow.
  • Painting is an inexpensive way to liven up an area and create a new atmosphere. 
  • Display art in new creative ways. 
  • Fresh flowers add life and color to any setting.
