Home staging

If you are in the market to sell your Cariboo or Williams Lake real estate, there are certain steps you should take to ensure a speedy and successful sell. One of the most important steps of these is the home staging process. How well your home is prepared for and perceived by potential buyers can make or break the possibility of you getting your home off the market and someone finding their dream home.

How your home looks on the inside is so important because first impressions are a key factor in selling a home. Here are five useful tips for home staging to get your home in and out of the real estate market in no time.

Five Tips for Home Staging Your Cariboo or Williams Lake Real Estate

  1. Light It Up:

    Lighting is essential to making any home feel warm and inviting, and it is one of the first things someone notices when they enter your home. To achieve and maintain the perfect lighting in your home for sale, consider installing a total of 100 watts of light for every 50 square feet. Even more, be sure to include ambient, accent and task lighting in each room for a complete look.

  1. Even Bigger, Even Better:

    Making your home look and feel as big and spacious as possible is vital for impressing potential buyers. One way to make a room appear bigger is to paint the walls the same color as the adjacent room. This technique will create a seamless look that will make both rooms look like one big space. To further this idea even more, paint the walls in each room the same color as the drapery to achieve a clean, sophisticated look.

  1. Placing Your Furniture:

    Along with your wall and drapery colors, how you arrange your furniture in your home can also make a difference in how each room is perceived. For maximum space, place furniture away from walls, and group chairs and sofas in cozy pairs or trios. Also, arrange each piece so that there is an obvious walking path in each room. This will create ample walking space and make your rooms feel much less congested.

  1. Keep It Clean and Clutter Free:

    Probably the most important part of home staging is making sure that your home is clean and free of any clutter or mess. Having too much furniture can add to a cluttered look and feel, which is not only distracting to potential buyers, but this can also make your rooms look less spacious. Consider taking out any unnecessary furniture and appliances to maximize the amount of free space and make the home more neat and tidy.

  1. Way to Accessorize:

    Choosing the right accessories for your home décor can have a huge impact on first impressions. For a more appealing and inviting atmosphere, consider grouping accessories in odd numbers, particularly in threes. When grouping, aim for more of a triangular shape with a point instead of just lining each accessory in a straight row. Also, keep in mind scale when arranging accessories, and be sure to vary height and width.
