Unusual (but effective) Home Staging Ideas

We have all heard about "Staging" your home when the time comes to sell.
It is all about making the space in your home as appealing as possible to potential
buyers. You may already know the basics, such as eliminating clutter. Here are
some unusual home staging ideas that are less well known yet very effective:

• Chandeliers. Surprisingly, these are one of the simplest ways to
make a foyer, dining room or living room dramatically more eye catching.

You can buy a good looking chandelier for a few hundred dollars.

• New linen. This is something many home sellers don't consider, but should. Replace any worn linen such as sheets, coverings, towels, and even oven mitts with new ones. Believe it or not, new linen makes a big impression on buyers.

• Pedestal sinks. It may not be practical for you to replace a bathroom sink. However, if you are doing a renovation, keep in mind that pedestal sinks, especially in small bathrooms, are a big hit with buyers.

• New appliances. A brand new fridge, stove and dishwasher are
motivating selling features to buyers. New appliances make the whole
kitchen look brand new.

• Avoid multi-use rooms. Have a spare bedroom that doubles as a
home office? That's a turnoff to buyers. Whenever possible, stage
each room so that it has a singular purpose. A guest bedroom, for
example, should be only that.
