Home staging and design tips; Three rules that matter.

Ready to transform your living space into a stunning sanctuary with professional home staging and design services? These three rules allow you to DIY and experience the magic of expertly designed spaces that inspire and enhance your everyday life.

Vignettes should be arranged in odd numbers because they visually appeal to the human eye.   Our brains love odd numbers. The vignettes should also include height differences and items of different textures.  

Just like design should be in three, you need three things for a successful home sale.

HOME STAGING TIP #1

Find a good realtor who knows your area and is current and active with the local National Association of Realtors chapter.

A good realtor’s expertise in home design and staging is invaluable. They bring market knowledge, strategic pricing, targeting the right buyers, maximizing return on investment, effective marketing, and strong negotiation skills. 

Collaborating with a skilled realtor ensures that the design and staging efforts align with the market, leading to a successful and profitable property sale.

HOME STAGING AND DESIGN TIP #2

Update light fixtures, paint, and flooring.  

By updating light fixtures, paint, and flooring, you can significantly improve a home’s overall design and appeal. These updates enhance aesthetics, increase perceived value, improve functionality, attract a broader range of buyers, and give your property a competitive advantage in the market.

HOME STAGING TIP #3

STAGE IT to maximize your return.

The average staged house has a 1-5% increase in sale price. The average price in San Jose, CA, is 1.3M. A 1% increase is 13,000 over the list price. The return on investment is mind-blowing.  The National Association of Realtors agrees that 85% of staged homes sold for 5-23% over list price and in 73% less time than nonstaged homes.   

Staging a house can make it feel like a home for potential buyers by creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that helps them envision themselves living there. 

This can be achieved by decluttering, adding updated furnishings, and incorporating personal touches like artwork or plants. 

Staging can help buyers connect emotionally with the home and imagine themselves making it their own by creating a space that feels lived-in.
