If you are like most home owners your house is set up the way you like it, but when it comes time to sell you need to take a step back and make sure that you are showing buyers the best use for each space in your home. You may need to use 3 bedrooms in your 4 bedroom home as office space, but most home buyers will want to see how those rooms can be used as bedrooms. Your formal dining room may work well for you as a playroom or yoga studio, but home buyers want to envision their formal dinners there. You may not have a ton of storage and opt to use the living room as a storage locker but home buyers will not understand where to entertain. Home Staging makes sure that you are properly showing buyers the best purpose of each space in your home. Check out the transformations we made below:
This formal office was being used as a game room- great for the seller but not too appealing to the home buyer that needs a home office:
This home seller was using his master bedroom as a home office but it did not send the luxury retreat feel home buyers were looking for:
This home seller was using their dining room as a formal living room. But buyers were wondering where to have Thanksgiving dinner!
The family living in this home loved using the large living room to hang out and watch tv, but buyers needed to see a formal space they could use for entertaining:
This home had a ton of storage but you would never know by looking at this catch all space. We gave it a new purpose:
The area at the top of these stairs was vacant. A simple solution was to show buyers how they could use this area as a home office, freeing up a bedroom for sleeping:
This dining room was perfect for the kiddies, but did not make sense for home buyers wanting to actually eat in there!
As home staging professionals it is our job to help clients best market and present their homes for sale. Often times we are required to work within our client's budget constraints and our vision of how to best furnish and accessorize a space may not be feasible. 
Accent the kitchen to showcase materials and finishes. Set the breakfast bar or set up the built-in desk as a command center.
Add artwork and accessories to highlight a mantle in a living room or family room.
Strategically place items in a built-in bookcase to add color and depth.
Soften a bare bathroom with greenery and spa accents.
Add color to the spaces that you want buyers to notice. As they move through the home keeping the color scheme the same will add to continuity and balance to empty rooms.
Nothing says budget staging more than inexpensive looking items! Items do not have to cost a fortune to look great as long as they match the profile of the buyer you want to attract.
Large scale artwork and mirrors can be expensive. Instead of adding skimpy pieces, stretch your budget with metal wall scrolls, or multiple pieces of art grouped together.
