How can we create character where there is none in a modern property? Period features are often seen as the source of a property's charm, but if you live in a modern home is it still possible to inject a sense of character? The answer is a firm YES! And we as stagers faced with this dilemma daily, know all the tips and tricks! While it can be tempting to recreate period details, we advise making the most of the features already present. It's better to celebrate and enhance the parts of your home that you like. Don't recreate the past; faux panelling and ceiling roses are at risk of looking themed. With styling advice, the right furniture, wall decor and accessories you can achieve the focal points and character you crave for your property Want to learn more about how StageMyProperty can add that Wow factor to your property?

5 steps for successfully lselling a home: 1. Remove the clutter - renting a storage unit while the home is listed in order to keep certain items safe and out of the way during this short time. 2. Clean up the yard - freshening the flower beds, trimming shrubs, adding new mulch around trees, and edging around the driveway and sidewalks. 3. Remove Personal effects - family pictures, diplomas, certificates, awards, artwork, etc. 4. Clean - behind the toilets, along the baseboards, above the doors, behind all the furniture, appliances 5. Staging - make property's best features are highlighted.

🛋️ Seller Tip: Stage your home with neutral colors to appeal to more buyers! 🏡 When selling your home, using neutral colors like beige, gray, and soft white can create a clean, versatile canvas that helps buyers envision themselves living in the space. These colors make rooms feel larger and more inviting, and they easily adapt to various tastes. By opting for neutral tones, you not only enhance your home’s appeal but also make it easier for potential buyers to imagine their own style in the space. Consider painting walls in neutral shades and choosing décor that complements this palette. Ready to make your home stand out in the market? Let us help you stage it perfectly to attract the right buyers!

✨What a fun interview with Launche LLC! Thank you both so much for this opportunity. @launchellc ✨I absolutely love staging my listings before we start showings. That first impression is SO CRUCIAL! As the buyer pulls up to the home, & enters the front door they need to be WOWED, I can’t stress this enough! ✨Those first steps into the home are arguably the most important, it sets the tone for the entire tour. Buyers will either be impressed & welcomed, OR they will adding up expenses in their head of all the work they’d have to do. ✨ Each of my listings is a little different- sometimes I’ll use a mix of the seller’s furniture & mine, sometimes they have already moved out, (or it’s new construction) so I’ll use all my stuff, other times it’s been a mix of their decor & mine together. ✨For example, my next listing coming up- the seller left most of the furniture, but removed everything on top. This makes it easy to me to come in and dress up the space with wall art, decor pieces, rugs, plants, some accent furniture if needed. ✨I’d call that “light staging” - which can be extremely effective, & make your photos pop online. Getting people in the door for showings, all starts with those photos online! @luxeresidentialnc #staginghomes #staging #sheshed #listingagent #realestate #raleighnc #makeitpretty #bestfootforward #decor #interiordesign #curbappeal

Dark or Light Flooring: What's your choice? It's not easy to choose one without considering other factors in your space, like how much light comes in, the wall colour, and foot traffic. That said, here are simple reasons to choose either. ⭐ Light flooring can make a space feel bigger and brighter, while dark flooring can make it feel smaller and cozier. ⭐ Light flooring makes your space easier to style and decorate as it matches most design aesthetics. ⭐ Dark flooring is less prone to fading compared to light flooring. These factors should help guide your decision based on your specific needs and preferences.

Did you know that 95% of home buyers start their search online? That means first impressions are crucial! One way to make a great first impression – online or in-person – is by staging your home. I offer clients virtual and in-person staging options to help your home shine. Virtual staging is the process of “virtually” adding furniture and decor to photos, usually of a vacant unit, to create a more welcoming impression. Typically, virtual staging is more affordable and quicker than traditional staging. In-person staging is the art of creating a vision of what a home could look like to a potential buyer by editing or adding furnishings, artwork, and accessories to a space. Home staging can help the buyer envision a clear definition of rooms or highlight features like unique architectural details and key selling points. If you have any questions, let’s chat about how staging can take your listing to the next level! #megansellstn #megansmithrealtor #onwardre

Here's our next staging myth, "Staging is only necessary for a vacant listing." Far too often, it's assumed that only empty houses should be staged. Consider this: 👉 Occupied or vacant, both can benefit from some form of staging to show thier absolute best. 👉 A home the Seller lives in that is a cluttered, overwhelming space with giant furniture in every nook will completely turn a Buyer off. In this case, we offer a Walk-and-Talk Consultation that you attend with us and the Seller. We provide professional recommendations and a complete To-Do List to get the house show-ready. 👉 The Seller has great furniture pieces and decor, but the arrangement is off, or there is too much art and many collections. We offer an Occupied Fill-in staging service to re-curate the home using the Sellers items, maybe some of ours, and edit what is unnecessary. The result is a photo-ready property! 👉 Often, the design and furniture placement greatly affect how much space the Buyer perceives the room. The result? A house that shows and photographs better and appeals to more Buyers. Call or text us at 404-234-6908; we offer a Consultation to discuss a staging plan. #stagingmyths #stagingtips #homestager #homestaging #atlantarealestate #atlantarealtor #stagesellsimple #atlantaga #mariettaga #mariettarealtor #mariettarealestate

Selecting the right shelves for your home can play a major role in your overall design scheme. For example, a shelf with a simple, clean-lined design can help to give a room a feeling of spaciousness. If you choose shelves made from natural materials like wood or stone, they can add texture and warmth to your space. Shelves also demonstrate the space-saving storage options a home offers to potential buyers.
