Spring Staging Tips! Posted on April 6, 2016 by socialmedia by With the real estate market being so crazy busy right now, we can’t forget our home’s first impression. Here are some tips to help stage your home for the spring buyers! We start off our spring staging with some good old-fashioned spring cleaning! You will want your home to feel light, airy and spacious. So this does not mean that everything that is sitting out can be stuffed into a closet! Neat and organized spaces will speak highly to your potential buyer and will give the impression of more space in your home.Next up we look to our floor and walls. Winter is not kind to our floors, after constant exposure to snow, dirt and scuffed boots, they could use a little TLC! It’s time to break out the carpet cleaner and deep clean for a brighter looking carpet. Don’t forget to buff worn spots on wood floors with a little polyurethane. A bucket of warm water with some mild soap and a sponge will tackle most wall marks sufficiently. For added cleaning power, use an eraser-style cleaning pad. Time to swap out dark and cozy for bright and cheery! Switch out your snug winter blankets, throws and dark-colored accessories. Bring the light airiness of spring into your home with bright shawl throws, floral pillows and bright table runners or place-mats for your tables. Inexpensive pops of color can help brighten a room from towels and washcloths, throw pillows and candles in calming lavender, yellow, sage green or pale blues. Bring in the natural light. Nothing says spring like a sun-drenched room! Make sure to pull back curtains, raise blinds and tie drapes back for an instant mood lifter. Rainy spring day? Turn on the lights before a showing! Appeal to their sense of smell with spring-like aromas! In winter we are all for baking cookies or leaving a pot of apple cider simmering on the stove for a homey smell. In spring it’s time to try a scent that will evoke fresh and clean feelings. Cotton, sand, beach or aromatherapy diffusers all can help convey a spring-time feel to your home. Bring spring life inside! When you think of spring, a natural image that comes to mind is flowers, gardens and new plant life. Why not conjure those same bright, fresh images in your home? Lush flowers from the market can bring a whole new life to any room in your house! Spruce up your front entrance and back entrance. A home’s first impression is of the outside; let’s make sure it is a good one! Make sure to take down your circular wreath which is reminiscent of holidays past. Instead create a new spring-themed welcome sign and update with a cheery welcome mat! Don’t forget the back door as your potential buyers may head outside to see your backyard. Keep the same cheery feeling with potted plants on a deck or table to add color! Landscape, landscape, landscape! Your yard has been ignored for months with the colder temperatures and snow. It is time to show a little TLC with pruning, raking, weeding and clearing out of old plants, branches and grass. Show your buyer the potential your yard has by keeping a clean landscape. The promise of a fresh start makes spring an ideal time to show your home! As always contact your Shorewest, REALTOR® for any home staging advice.
