Home Staging FAQ’s
When should I hire a professional stager?
Two or three months prior to putting your home on the market. This will give you plenty of time to pack and store unused items and complete any necessary maintenance. Something else to keep in mind is that staged homes usually appraise for higher values, so you might want to have all staging completed before meeting with a realtor so your asking price gets set high enough.
Which rooms are the most important to have professionally staged?
Typically, a home gets sold based on how its main living spaces appear. Transformations recommends focusing on the kitchen, dining room, family room, master bedroom and master bath.
In your opinion, what dates a home the most?
Brass light fixtures and faucets!
What should I do in an empty bedroom?
Bedrooms should almost always be staged as a bedroom. An inexpensive trick to staging a vacant bedroom is to purchase an inflatable camping bed and dressing it with neutral linens and pillows. A bedside table and lamp complete the look.
What can I do with an awkward corner or space?
Any area in your home that is awkward or difficult to furnish should be staged to show how it can be a useful space. Awkward spaces make great cozy reading areas, homework centers, toy storage areas, or quaint home offices.
What should I do with my bold paint colors and outdated wallpaper?
It is imperative to make your home appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers, and you can accomplish this by painting your walls a neutral color. However, you can be bolder with your paint color choices in the kitchen and possibly the powder room, depending on your lighting situation.
