Selling in Winter? Check Out these Staging Tips
When thinking of selling in winter, it’s essential to think about the presentation of your home to prospective buyers.
So, let’s start thinking of setting the stage.
Seasonal décor
We’re talking tasteful, not tacky. A little winter décor can go a long way in creating an inviting atmosphere. A wreath on the door, a vase of winter flowers like amaryllis, or a bowl of pine cones can all add seasonal charm without overwhelming the space. Remember, less is often more.
Creating a warm atmosphere
Let’s focus on the senses. Soft, cosy blankets draped over the sofa, cushions piled high and candles flickering (safely!) can all give a snug, homely feel.
Focus on natural light
Daylight might be in short supply, but you can still make the most of what you’ve got. Open all curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible, and place mirrors strategically to bounce light around the room. This will not only brighten the space but also make it feel larger.
Quick tips
Personal touch: Consider adding small, personal details like a stack of good books or a board game ready to play. These conjure images of happy winter evenings spent indoors.
Music: Soft background music can complement the atmosphere. Opt for something neutral and calming.
Follow the nose: Smell is a powerful sense. Freshly baked biscuits sound (and smell) tremendous, but let’s face it, who has time to do that for every viewing? A more straightforward idea is to use strategically placed scented candles.
We’re always on hand to give you open and honest advice to see if selling now is your best move.
