If you are trying to sell your home during the spring/summer this is exactly what the outside should look like.  Well kept, immaculate and absolutely stunning.  If possible try to add a bit of color to your plant beds.  It makes for such a cheery entrance.  Set the stage for buyers before they even enter!  Notice the windows of this home, they have been recently cleaned and what a difference it makes!  Remove all screens and solar screens from front of your house- it increases curb appeal.

When entering this home, this room starts the tour.  At the onset it had way to much furniture and too many small accent tables.  By removing the small pieces and keeping the larger furniture it automatically decluttered the room.  The red couch and red accents makes the room memorable!  Notice the simple floor lamp in the back corner.  Adding ambient lighting to a room always takes it to the next level!  Check out IKEA for these type of floor lamps.  They are cheap and do the job!

It is important to keep dining rooms simple yet elegant.  In this situation we left a table runner and simple contemporary (yet old fashioned) fish tank as the centerpiece.  We turned the fish tank into a flower arrangement.  The best part of staging is the opportunity to reuse and repurpose items the seller already has.  On the server we left two lamps and a simple bowl of glass fruit.  This is a huge dining room but we left it very simple in regards to decor.  Look what happens once photos are taken…it is just enough to do the job!

This home has a stunning and open kitchen.  It is important to showcase the kitchen and not the items on the counter top.  We left a few strategic pieces in the kitchen but not too much.  Need help staging your kitchen?  Austin Simple Staging can most definitely help in that department!  Austin home staging is right at your finger tips- Call today to set up an appointment (512) 585-9550.

This particular family did an incredible job of executing the staging recap they were provided.  By utilizing Austin Simple Staging you will receive a customized staging recap that acts as a to-do list!  After the two hour staging consultation it can be tough to remember all the details we recommend!  They set the dining room table just perfect and it looks stunning!

DotHow To: Stage a Kitchen

Kitchens are a catch all space in every one’s home.  When it comes to austin home staging, it is important that kitchens look and feel like a kitchen and nothing more.  It is best to begin by completely cleaning off all of the counters.  Do deep clean of the counters, the sink, the floors, windows, etc.  After the space is completely clean put back on a few select items.  Less is more in a kitchen.  Buyers are not purchasing your kitchen utensils nor your decor, they are purchasing the cabinets, counter tops and floors- so show them what they are purchasing.  Below are the standard items you should place back on the counters for a staged and model home look.

– Fresh bottle of soap on left of sink

– Small green plant on right of sink

– If you have a ledge above the sink, this is another great spot for a small decorative plant

– Place a fresh rug underneath the bathroom sink

– Place a bottle of wine and two wine glass on a tray- or you can use lemonade with two fun glasses- this makes buyers start thinking about entertaining in the space

– Clean up your coffee maker and place two mugs on each side- nicely fold a formal dinner napkin and tuck in each mug

– Place a canister of utensils on one side of stove

– Place knife block on other side of stove

– If you have an island, place a beautiful bowl or basket with fresh fruit

Here is a great example of the suggestions above:
