Simple Home Staging Hacks to Help You Sell Your Home Faster

Where Style Meets Strategy in Home Staging.

Home staging can make a huge impact on the desirability of your property.  Home Staging professionals take the stress out of presenting your home and help your potential buyers to connect with and imagine your property as their next home. 

Selling your home can often feel a little daunting, perhaps you are selling a family home after many years of living there?  Or you may be considering your next home move to accommodate your growing family? Whether you’re on a tight budget or aiming for a luxurious presentation, Home Staging has something to offer.  

Here are a few simple home staging hacks that can help you sell your home quicker and achieve your best possible price. 

1. Declutter and Depersonalise

A clutter-free home is more attractive and gives buyers a chance to imagine themselves living in the space. Remove personal items like family photos, trophies, or souvenirs to allow potential buyers to picture their own belongings in the home. By creating a neutral and clean environment, you’re helping buyers feel more comfortable and connected to the space.

2. Maximise Natural Light

Natural light can make any space look more welcoming. If possible, try to remove heavy drapes or curtains that block sunlight and open up the windows. Light, airy spaces are more inviting and can make rooms feel larger than they actually are. If your home is on the darker side, you can also use mirrors to reflect light, making rooms feel brighter and more spacious.

  1. Furniture Placement 

Arranging furniture in a way that maximises the space and flow of a room can make a significant impact. Our Home Staging team knows how to highlight a room’s best features and create a balanced and open layout. Creating a cosy yet open layout helps buyers see the full potential of each room.

4. Opt for Neutral Paint Colours

Although not essential, a fresh coat of neutral paint will appeal to a wider range of buyers. Adding small touches like neatly arranged books, or strategically placed artwork can also make your home feel more inviting without being overwhelming.

5. Consider Curb Appeal. 

First impressions start at the curb when selling your home.  Take an objective look at the exterior of your home and imagine you are viewing it through the lens of your potential buyer. Perhaps ask yourself – Is the lawn tidy? Is the flower bed free of weeds? Consider adding some potted plants or flowers near the entrance.  A welcoming exterior invites your buyers inside. 

6. Consider Professional Staging. 

A professional home stager can transform your space with their expertise.  Whilst it can be an investment, the return often is greater in terms of a quicker sale for the best offer. 

Home Staging can help to present your home to ensure it appeals to the widest demographic.
