Why house staging? Because a well-staged house will sell 80% faster than an unstaged one. According to statistics, most home stagings bring more profit than only paying for itself! Both homeowners and real estate agents agree that home staging increase the chances to sell a house, ending as one of the biggest return on investment.

The methods used are specific, employing fast, efficient and cost effective changes that will appeal to most buyers. Check our house staging tips below: it is not about a “designer make-over”; rather a deep refreshing and smart presentation of the house, done with the least amount of money. Most home staging steps and procedures are universal, and you will notice many similarities with Feng Shui principles.

What Exactly is Home Staging?

The main purpose of home staging is to make your place appealing to most of the buyers, sell fast, and with the best possible price. It is the process of depersonalizing your home, to allow potential buyers to imagine moving in without delay. As you know, most people would prefer to move in a new home without having to make a lot of modifications, updates and repairs.

This process of preparing your house is blending practical experience, with elements of home design, decoration, and Feng Shui. The goal is to highlight the potential and qualities of your home. The very first perception of space and value, will determine the buyer’s interest in this property.

10 House Staging Tips:


1. Make sure that your home is making a first, positive impression with an inviting entry, clean, attractive and presentable.

2. Even though it is logic, we have to mention to clean the house very well, professionally if possible. Clear the countertops in the kitchen, remove all the fridge magnets and stuff, and keep the bathrooms as tidy as possible, without personal items, and with fresh towels, soaps and candles.

3. Remove anything connected to your family or personal interests (such as family pictures, collections, hobbies, even religious items) - they will make buyer very conscious of being in someone else's environment and it won't get you an offer.

4. Pack as much as you can: extra clothing, toys, books, household items and store them; you need to allow your potential buyer to picture his items in the house.

5. This is our special tip: use white as much as possible; white will make your place look bright and attractive, suggesting peace and comfort. Use white windows and doors trims, white curtains, towels, candles, and flowers. Details are important!

6. Re-paint if necessary, using neutral colors, in cream/ beige hues; even if your place has interesting color choices, it may be safer this way. We are all different, and specific colors will set different moods and reactions.

7. Examine what you need to do to showcase the best features of the property. Furnish key rooms to show the possibilities. You must make your home stand out competition.

8. Most house staging tips you will find online will mention the importance of lighting. Install more lights if necessary, open the blinds, and clean all the windows. It will be like an instant house 'face-lift'.

9. Display fresh flower arrangements throughout the house in visible, key places, and place a fruit basket with 8 fresh oranges, or green apples on the kitchen table.

10. Last but not least on our house staging tips list is brewing fresh coffee when you are showing your home (even if you are not drinking). You can light a few high quality incense sticks in the bathrooms (before people arrive) and place essential oil candles on the hallways or rooms.
