Read below for some great tips to stage homes to
give them the extra 'oomph' they need during the cooler season to help it
sell!
1. Less is more when it comes to
decorations.
It's important to keep decor
simple and only accentuating the home's best features to create an inviting
setting. Try displaying fall foliage or festive bouquets throughout the
home.
2. Warm up the
walls.
A fresh coat of paint will always help revive
the home's interiors. It's a great idea to keep the walls neutral yet warm and
inviting. For the autumn season, pops of color with accessories in oranges, deep
reds and yellows add a festive touch.
3. Keep rooms well
lit.
Open blinds and plenty of tasteful lamps
through the home add additional illumination and highlights the home's best
features.
4. Make it
cozy.
As the weather cools down,
encourage home buyers to stick around during showings by providing a warm and
welcoming atmosphere. Accentuate the sofas and chairs with plush throw pillows and
cuddly throws.
5. Play up the seasonal scents.
Add to the welcoming atmosphere by
burning seasonal scented candles throughout the home. Or, even better, simmer hot
apple cider on the stove and offer it to potential home buyers.
6. Accentuate gathering areas.
Especially fireplaces if the home has
one. A cozy fireplace is a fantastic feature to highlight during the crisp fall
months. Arrange the furniture to make a focal point and set the scene for home
buyers to imagine gathering with their own friends and family for the holidays and
cold seasons.
7. Add a touch of luxury.
Layering the bedding with sumptuous
fabrics and adding dimension with throw pillows will enhance the bedroom's comfort
appeal. You can also display plush towels in the bathroom or drape a silky table
cloth over the dining room table to give the home a more luxurious
feel.
8. Curb appeal, curb appeal, curb appeal.
No matter how beautiful and inviting a
home's interior, buyers won't make it inside if the exterior isn't welcoming as
well.Especially during the fall season when the weather is turning colder and home
buyers will want to move in and stay indoors. Sprucing up the lawn by raking up
leaves and patching up brown spots in the grass will give home buyers the sense of
a more turn-key purchase. They'll be able to imagine themselves hosting holiday
parties and dinners instead of making a mental to-do list to rush through before
the seasonal events begin.
