5 Must-dos for Home Staging
1. Plan Your Budget
Whether you are a professional or an individual home stager, the first thing to look at is how to budget your next home
staging project. Take a piece of paper, brainstorm home staging ideas, search
for home staging furniture options, check out the cost for furniture and accessories,
do whatever you need to do to choose the best idea with the lowest home staging
cost.
2. Clean Your House
You can’t draw a nice picture without a
clean, set room. Clean your carpet, shine your floor, change the dust, old
curtain, and clean the old furniture as well. Remember, your job is to create a
fresh and clean room before you style the look.
3. Choose the Right Home Staging Design
Is your home a condo or a house? Is your home
located in a kid-friendly neighborhood or financial district? Choose the right
home staging design for potential home buyers is critical. If you are uncertain
about the preference of your potential customer, stay with the neutral home
staging style instead of trendy look.
4. Spice it Up
Get rid of the oldies! Sometimes one piece
of new furniture will change the entire look of your room. Use your imagination
to décor your room. It can be a new accent chair, a new sofa set, a new mirror,
or a new side table…
5. Have Someone Check the Presentation
Invite your friends or family over to check
your final work. Let them give you suggestions. You will be surprised someone
else can find out a problem that you will miss.
