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 your Lexington 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.
2. Have furniture but don’t clutter: Don’t leave rooms
empty because potential buyers may struggle to visualize what all you can do
with the space. Also, Rouse suggests avoiding furniture with patterns, which
can be distracting.
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.
6. Gender-neutral bedrooms: Keep bedroom colors neutral
and have simple bedding — preferably in white — to make a
room feel fresh, Rouse says.
