Staging Toolbox for Realtors and DIY Sellers

What are some simple things you can do to elevate your listing and make it stand out from the rest? In addition to being sure the home is de-cluttered, spotlessly clean, and has a well-manicured front and back entry, these few touches will add a touch of comfort and luxury.

To skip right to the toolbox, scroll to bottom of post.


White Towels & Silk Orchids

Placing white towels and a silk orchid in all baths, brings an elegance to the room, and offers a feeling of luxury and orderliness to the room. And, don’t forget to clear the countertops completely, letting the architecture of the room speak for itself, which invites would-be buyers to envision themselves living in the space.

White Coverlet

An absolute must is adding white coverlets to all beds in the listing, if not all, especially the primary bedroom. Much like finer hotels with white linens and coverlets, this look gives buyers a feeling of comfort and hints at the idea that their primary suite is a sanctuary, away from every day cares, similar to the feeling of being on vacation and staying in a beautiful hotel room.

Light Colored Throw Pillows and Throws

Adding light colored throw pillows to dark furniture, lifts and brightens the room, taking attention away from a drab focal point and allowing the eyes to feel the room as a whole.

Transformed with light colored throw pillows, a soft throw, green plant, and a pop of color. This seller also chose to update the wall color to a lighter tone. This home was sold in under 5 days with multiple offers. See before staging photo below.


 

Bright Printed Outdoor Pillows

Outdoor spaces matter. Don’t neglect creating the dream for your buyers here. Something as simple as adding a couple of bright Adirondack chairs and some colorful throw pillows makes your listing stand out from the competitors.
