Why Staging Matters in an Empty Home
Empty houses can seem chilly, uninteresting, and even smaller than they actually are. Buyers find it hard to visualize how the area would actually work without furnishings and decorations. Staging fills in the blanks. It adds warmth, elegance, and ideas for what could work in there.
At Stage the Space, we assist homeowners, real estate agents, and investors in Las Vegas in transforming vacant houses into residences buyers can relate to. Here are some tips we’ve discovered which make the greatest impact.
Begin in the Rooms That Matter Most
You don’t need to stage all of your rooms. Stage those areas that provide buyers with an idea of how your home works.
- Living room: Demonstrate its use in daily life and for entertainment.
- Kitchen and dining space: Assist buyers in visualizing dinners at home or entertaining guests.
- Master bedroom: A peaceful, snug room leaves a good impression.
Designing only those crucial zones can alter individuals’ emotions while moving through the house.
Keep It Simple, But Not Empty
You do not have to have extravagant furniture or distracting accessories. Simple lines, neutral colors, and minimalist textures do wonders. You want to accentuate the space, not detract from it.
Generally, we recommend
- Neutral sofa with soft accent cushions
- A minimalist dining table setting with minimal place settings
- A layered bed and some works of art placed above
- Fresh greenery or florals for warmth
The outcome? A room that is finished, inviting, and easy to visualize occupying.
Let in the Light
In a city such as Las Vegas, natural light is an absolute plus. Keep windows spotless and blinds off during viewings. If corners happen to be dark, we can bring in table lamps or floor lamps to illuminate.
Light contributes energy, and energy facilitates faster home sales.
Scale Matters
There is a balance to using furniture in a room. Too little, and it looks awkward. Too big, and suddenly, it seems cramped. We choose furniture that reveals each room’s potential without overwhelming its space.
This is particularly significant in open-concept layouts, where creating zones (living, dining, etc.) can really make an impact in terms of how a home is perceived by a buyer.
Keep It Fresh and Clean
Since empty houses aren’t occupied, they can quickly become stagnant. We keep our home free of dust and odors and add touches of freshness to bring life to an area, such as fresh flowers, a fruit bowl, or a fresh, clean scent.
We also suggest little details such as towels in bathrooms, kitchen props, or clean doormats to bring everything together.
