Selling your home can be quite the journey, but there are creative ways to make your staging truly memorable. While essential tasks like cleaning appliances and tidying up after pets are important, consider these tips to enhance your home with engaging scents, inviting lighting, and showcasing unique features.
First tip is SMELL! Running some lemon slices through your garbage disposal can give your kitchen a fresh scent. Making a simmer pot on the stove or heating vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon on a low heat in the oven can both make an inviting aroma.
Second tip is LIGHT! Make the most of natural light by opening all drapes during the day to flood your home with sunshine. If certain corners remain dark, strategically turn on lamps or light fixtures to brighten them up. In the evening close your blinds and illuminate your space with ambient lighting like lamps and fairy lights.
The third tip is FEATURES! Depersonalizing and neutralizing your home is helpful for potential buyers to envision themselves there, but don’t hesitate to highlight unique qualities. Showcase your built in shelf where you keep hundreds of movies or books on display or if you have a patio in your backyard turn on some twinkling fairy lights and show off some unique features of your home.
