Staging your property for sale, is a really effective way to increase appeal and your asking price.

Here are some staging tips from our sources in the industry:

• Get rid of clutter
• Reposition furniture to make rooms appear larger
• Repurpose any unused rooms and turn them into functional spaces ie office, spare bedroom etc
• Increase the wattage in your lamps and fixtures
• Make sure you have 3 types of lighting- ambient for general, task for reading and accent for tables and walls
• Paint rooms the same colour as the adjacent room to make them appear bigger
• Paint walls in fresh neutral colours-bold colours tend to reduce the offers
• Create accent walls or use dark paint in a bedroom to create an intimate aura
• Display any artwork creatively by breaking up the lines, vary the patterns and grouping
• Group accessories by colour, shape, texture or any other unifying element
• Grace your property with fresh flowers and orchard arrangements
• Use luxurious linens and soft colours in your bedroom
• Clean out closets to show off your storage space
• Get new door and draw fronts for your kitchen and dishwasher (you can even use laminate paper)
• Replace any missing floorboards or any large cracks in and around the property
• Have your tiles professionally painted
• Put out rolled up towels, decorative baskets and candles in bathrooms
• Don’t overcrowd rooms
• Upgrade with eco friendly materials-buyers will pay more for properties they consider to be green
• Consider plastering your walls as plaster is eco friendly and soaks up moisture in damp environments like bathrooms
• Make any awkward spaces functional with shelves or a desk
• Use stainless steel appliances in your kitchen and update any outdated appliances
• Keep kitchen countertops nice and clear but add fresh fruit or flowers for some colour
• Remove any mould from tile grout
