3 Ways You Can Mess Up Home Staging and Send Buyers Running

You can mess up home staging.

There, we said it.

And now we’ll show you how.

When you list your home for sale in Lake City, your Realtor® will talk to you about the importance of staging it – giving it a beautifully designed look so buyers will fall in love the moment they walk in the door.

But these are three ways you can mess it up and send them right back out the door:

Overstaging
Sticking to one, tired theme
Closing the doors

Overstaging

You want buyers to visualize your home with their belongings in it, so don’t decorate so much that buyers only see your décor and not the house. When your home is properly staged, buyers can appreciate the whole home’s aesthetic without being distracted by paintings, knickknacks and other décor.

Sticking to One, Tired Theme

Buyers don’t necessarily want the whole house to look the same. Switch things up room-by-room so buyers can feel comfortable and understand that the whole home is just full of possibilities.

Closing the Doors

It’s a habit – we all close the doors behind us from time to time. But when you’re staging your home, make sure everything is open so buyers don’t mistake an additional bedroom or staircase for another closet. They’ll miss out on seeing the whole home, and you could miss out on the sale.
