Staging Checklist
Use this helpful checklist to cover all the bases when staging your home
- Add tasteful decor: Use strategically placed accessories, such as artwork, rugs, and throw pillows, to add visual interest and create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
- Clean thoroughly: Deep clean the entire house, including floors, carpets, windows, and appliances. Pay attention to details like grout lines, light fixtures, and baseboards.
- Create inviting outdoor spaces: Stage outdoor areas, such as patios or balconies, with outdoor furniture, cushions, and potted plants to showcase the potential for outdoor living
- Declutter: Remove personal items, excess furniture, and unnecessary belongings to create a clean and spacious environment.
- Depersonalize: Remove personal photos, memorabilia, and unique decorations to allow potential buyers to envision themselves in the space.
- Enhance curb appeal: Spruce up the exterior of the home by mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, planting flowers, and ensuring the entryway is clean and inviting.
- Furniture arrangement: Arrange furniture in a way that optimizes flow and highlights the room's best features. Consider creating cozy conversation areas or arranging furniture to maximize space in smaller rooms
- Keep it maintained: Regularly clean and maintain the staged areas to ensure they remain in top condition throughout the showing process.
- Maximize natural light: Open curtains and blinds, clean windows, and replace dim lightbulbs to make the home bright and inviting.
- Neutralize color schemes: Use neutral colors for walls, furniture, and decor to create a blank canvas that appeals to a wide range of buyers.
- Pay attention to odors: Eliminate any unpleasant odors by thoroughly cleaning carpets, upholstery, and curtains. Consider using air fresheners or candles with a subtle scent.
- Rearrange storage spaces: Organize closets, cabinets, and storage areas to showcase ample storage capacity. Buyers are often interested in available storage space.
- Repair and touch-ups: Fix any visible damages like cracked tiles, peeling paint, or leaky faucets. Also, touch up paint on walls and trim where necessary.
- Set the dining table: Arrange the dining table with attractive place settings or a centerpiece to create a welcoming and elegant dining area.
