How to Stage on a Budget
Staging doesn’t have to break the bank! There are a few ways to make your home look its best while still on a budget in the Denver market. Here are some tips:
Declutter and Clean: One of the easiest things to start with would be to declutter and clean the space. Do a good “spring cleaning” and ditch any unnecessary items. Also, do a good thorough cleaning of each room to help make it look its best! This will make the space look more spacious and attractive to potential buyers.
Neutralize: Neutral colors really do appeal to a wide range of buyers and make the home feel fresh and new. You could repaint walls and remove any bold or patterned wallpaper or carpeting that could be distracting or only appeal to a smaller group of buyers.
Rent Furniture: Instead of buying new furniture, consider renting furniture! You can always find specific pieces or an entire home worth of furnishing at any price point. The value of home staging far outweighs the cost by demanding a much higher selling point than an unstaged home.
Rearrange Furniture: Sometimes, simply rearranging the existing furniture can make a big impact. You can think about moving some furniture away from walls and into a more conversational group setting.
Use Accessories: You can create really interesting and appealing spaces by accessorizing a home with items like throw pillows, area rugs, and wall art. These items can add color and personality without breaking the bank. Consider shopping at discount stores, garage sales, or thrift stores to find affordable accessories. We love Home Goods!
Focus on Key Rooms: When staging a home on a budget, focus on the key rooms that buyers care about the most: the living room, dining room, and master bedroom. These are the rooms that will make the biggest impact on buyers.
Staging a home on a budget requires some creativity and resourcefulness, but it is possible! By following some of these tips, you can stage a home that looks great without spending a fortune. You will create a home that will appeal to more buyers and for a higher selling price.
