Transform Your Home with These Staging Tips!

August 30, 2024

Staging your home can make a big difference in attracting buyers and speeding up the sale. Whether you choose to hire a professional stager or handle it yourself, here are some clear tips to boost your home’s appeal:

  • Declutter: Remove unnecessary items to create a clean and spacious feel. Go through your house and decide what to toss and what to keep; for the items that you keep, find a home for each item or consider packing up in storage.
  • Rearrange Furniture: Position furniture to create clear pathways and highlight each room’s best features. For example, place a sofa to face a focal point like a fireplace or large window, and ensure there’s enough space around furniture for easy movement.
  • Add Fresh Touches: Use neutral colors and add simple decor elements like fresh flowers or new cushions to brighten up the space.
  • Clean and Repair: Ensure your home is spotless and make any minor repairs. Fix leaky faucets, touch up paint, and clean carpets to give a well-maintained impression.

Even if you’re not planning to sell just yet, these staging principles can help you see your home in a new light and make it feel fresh and welcoming.

If you need guidance on staging or want recommendations for a professional stager, we are here to help your home make the best impression!

I moved to West Linn when I was 14, and one of the first people I met was Linda Barnes—the warm and welcoming high school secretary. Helping her and her husband sell their home of 40+ years was such an honor. 14-year-old me could never have predicted I’d still be here, helping people buy and sell homes in the community I love. 💚
