Staging Tip #34 - Avoid Show-stopper Pieces #kwrealestate #homestaging

Even well decorated homes require staging to ensure that pieces are not up-staging the home. Remember that you are selling the house, not the things in the house.

Staging Tip #35 - Paint #kwrealestate #homestaging

Be sure to paint neutral, non-offensive colours – neutral can be light shades of grey, yellow, or green, they don’t have to be beige; if your walls are already neutral, touch-up or repaint if needed. Painting is the least expensive update with the greatest return!

Staging Tip #38 - Avoid oversized furniture #realestate #homestaging #kw

Avoid oversized furniture – even if the furniture “fits”, it tends to look sloppy and makes the room look smaller than it is. By using smaller furniture, buyers can see that larger furniture can fit, whereas large furniture shows the room “maxed out”

Staging Tip #40 - One room at a time #homestaging #realestate #kw

Shauna Lynn

Work on one room at a time – and this is literally what this means. When you find things that belong in a different room, simply set them aside – do not move them to their respective rooms until you have completed the room that you’re in, otherwise, you’ll find that you’ll get distracted with the new rooms.
