Home staging is part interior design, part theatre, and part marketing psychology - transforming rooms from that everyday lived-in look to ready to be sold for top dollar. The tactics used by home stagers involve not just decluttering and cleaning up, but strategic arranging and essential remodelling to fill in the missing pieces so that home buyers see the home's best features and are willing to overlook the negatives. And as several television shows and savvy realtors have documented, home staging often yields a quicker sale and higher selling price - which is what this book is all about.
In 'The Complete Idiot's Guide To Staging Your Home to Sell', readers will find:
- How to decorate your house so that it appeals to the widest range of buyers.
- Cost effective techniques to highlight the home's selling points, whether it's the floor plan, the high ceilings, or a newly renovated bathroom.
- How to downplay or eliminate features that might be considered negatives - such as smaller rooms, minimal storage space, or ghastly wall colours.
