Dressed To Sell: 8 Staging Trends To Make Your Listings Pop
Take a look at these 8 staging trends that are designed to sell and make your clients' listings pop.
- Outdoor Retreats - Stagers are devoting more time to the outdoors. They recommend three spaces when staging a deck and yard: a dining area with tables and chairs; a cozy seating area; and a peaceful retreat with gravel or stepping stones leading to a garden with a small table or a bench overlooking a water feature.
- Lifestyle Appeal - Create a 'scene' with games on a table, bright red and green accents and furnishings, and vibrant artwork to add life to an otherwise vacant, sterile room.
- All That Shimmers - Add decorative pieces that are silver or warm gold.
- Painted Cabinets - A budget-friendly way to modernize a kitchen or bath is to paint the cabinets to give a fresh look.
- Pops of Color - Bring in decorative pillows and/or candles is an inexpensive yet memorable pop.
- Mood Lighting - Lamps can create warm ambiance and the feeling of space, and can also be used to add pops of color.
- Going Green - Repurpose or recycle used items for home accents and try bringing in more elements from nature, such as putting twigs in a vase.
- Mismatches - Try using mismatched furnishings, fabrics, and colors. For example, non-matching chairs around a dining table can add more visual interest to an area
