Furniture Staging for Home Sales

The art of furniture staging is just that, an art. While it may not have the creative potential of interior design it is an important task nonetheless. Staging professionals understand how to prepare a home for homebuyers in such a way that will encourage them to buy. One way this is accomplished is by placing the furniture in the home in a way that encourages positive flow throughout the home. The goal is to emphasize the livable qualities of a home and allow buyers to imagine themselves in the home.

One way to do this is to paint the interior of your home if the walls are dirty or dingy. You should also clean the home from top to bottom. These are both tasks that can be done by painting and cleaning professionals, unless of course you are the do it yourself type and enjoy painting and cleaning house. After the walls are like new and every inch of the house is sparkling clean, it is time to look at furniture placement, color schemes and other staging elements. There is a lot that goes into this process which is why some sellers hire professional stagers.

A stager may move your furnishings to improve the flow of space throughout the home. They may also advise you remove certain pieces if they are in the way. One of the most important things is an absence of clutter. This means everything from collectibles to your toothbrush should be out of sight. And, the color scheme throughout the home should be in a neutral palette. Your staged home may seem impersonal, but that is the goal. You want your potential buyers to imagine themselves and their belongings in the home.

You can hire a furniture staging professional, who can also probably evaluate your decor, color scheme and the exterior of your home for maximum results. Or, you can take on the job yourself. Just remember the basics of home staging -- keep colors neutral, get rid of clutter and personal effects while the home is being shown and keep the flow open and airy. Adding a touch of scent like an apple cinnamon candle or a bouquet of fresh flowers on the table can be the perfect finishing touch to spice up a neutral color scheme. Whether you want to start a staging business or simply prepare your home for sale, books like Home Staging for Dummies by Christine Rae and Janice Saunders Maresh can give you a wealth of valuable information.
