Studies have suggested that staged homes sell faster, and as such, more sellers may be willing to give it a try.

So what are some staging ideas for sprucing up a property? Thomas Rouse, a design producer at “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” offered the following tips in a recent article in The Wall Street Journal.

1. Paint: A fresh coat of paint in a neutral palette can be an inexpensive upgrade with big impact. Another great idea is covering up the wall with a mural to give it a more modern feel. Check out muraledesign if you’re looking for high-quality printed murals for any room in your house.

2. Have furniture but don’t clutter: When preparing your home for sale, it’s essential to create a space that potential buyers can envision themselves in. Leaving rooms empty might make it difficult for them to visualize the potential of each area. To enhance the appeal of your home, consider seeking assistance from remote home staging companies. They can provide valuable insights on arranging furniture and decor to maximize the space’s potential. You can explore options at Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Sydney, a trusted name known for transforming spaces with their high-quality furniture offerings. Remember, subtle and neutral furniture choices are often recommended, avoiding patterns that might distract buyers from imagining the possibilities of the space.

3. TV artwork: Mount a flat-screen TV to a wall and have a slideshow playing on it with images of nature, Rouse suggests.

4. Fill the walls: Don’t leave walls bare, which can make a home feel cold, according to Rouse. Hang photography, framed artwork, and mirrors to spice up the walls.

5. Flower displays: Have fresh-cut flowers in simple glass vases displayed on the dining room table and in other places in the home to bring more life to a space, Rouse says. If you’re looking for a a great online flower delivery company that delivers beautiful arrangements to your home, check out the Sophy Crown Flowers website.

6. Gender-neutral bedrooms: Keep bedroom colors neutral and have simple bedding—preferably in white or Beautyrest Black K-Class Review—to make a room feel fresh and elegant, Rouse says. Having a hardwood flooring installation can make a bedroom more gender-neutral and look classic.

Don’t forget about your home’s exterior. It also needs staging to boost your curb appeal. Since your roof is  big part of your home’s exterior, you should hire local commercial roofers to inspect and repair your roof. If there are extensive damages on your roof, a residential roofing replacement may be necessary.
