Why Home Staging Matters

When it comes to selling a home, first impressions matter. A staged house will increase in marketable value and easily edge out another competitive saleable property, especially one that has a less desirable presentation. This leaves potential owners wondering if this property is nice enough to actually live in, which all comes along in the buying process.

It is one thing trying to imagine walking into their home, and staging will help seal the deal. The residences of Tullahoma are different, ranging between historic complexes and new builds they just became for sale, but either way, employing staging will ensure a swift sale.

While staging is important, most homeowners try to stage their homes on their own and commit several common mistakes that may go against the sale. It is here that hiring a professional home stager like 27 STAGE will make all the difference.

Common Home Staging Mistakes

Overcrowding the Space

The most common mistake people make is overcrowding rooms with furniture and decor. When too much is in one space, it feels cramped and uncomfortable. Professional stagers understand how to balance the furniture placement to create an open and inviting atmosphere, bringing out the best features in your home.

Ignoring the Target Market

Not every home attracts the same type of buyer. An apartment, a family residence, or even a business space needs a presentation with a particular buyer type in mind. A stager will tailor the interior and layout to appeal specifically to the most likely purchaser, who will maximize the home.

Neglecting Small Repairs

The small stuff, which may turn buyers off, include peeling paint, faucets that leak, or a door that squeaks. Home stagers do an amazing job of noticing those minor flaws and providing suggestions as to how one might go about making corrections prior to showing your home. The bottom line here is pretty simple: A well-maintained house leads to the impression that it has been well cared for, which is fundamental to selling the home.

Poor Lighting Choices

The feeling in the room can be heavily defined by lighting. Most houses tend to overlight these harsh overhead lights, while owners would rather not light them altogether. Professional stagers show ways of using lighting that make a room warm, an invitation inside-a great way to evoke the needed mood when showing your house.

Choosing the Wrong Colors 

Otherwise, the other area where people often go wrong is in colors. Neutral tones basically work in home staging; they offer a blank slate on which buyers can apply their style. Bright or bold colors may make your space personalized for the present owner but could turn away potential buyers wanting to realize the space as theirs.
