Suggestions and Ideas to Stage Your Main Bedroom
One of the fastest and easiest rooms to stage in a home, due to the lack of furniture, is the master bedroom. Still, we cannot choose to be laid back even here.
Start off by eliminating the room of all clutter and your personal possessions, as well as giving it a good clean, before stepping back to think about what a potential purchaser is looking for in the room. A room that gives the impression of space, coziness and neutrality, with maybe a hint of romance, is your goal.
Making a room more relaxed is usually accomplished by wall colors. Pale, light colors give a feeling of neutrality, consider colors such as white or beige. Avoid colors that give a statement such as yellow or orange. This also is relevant to the bed linen – you can throw in a pillow or two of a bold color, but that’s all you really need.
Granting free movement around the bedroom is achieved by removing restrictions on the floor. Even in a small room, staging can assist you to make the room seem greater than it actually is. The bed, closet and possibly a small nightstand are the only bits of furniture wanted in the bedroom. Move the bed as far as feasible away from the doorway and remember to treat the depressions in carpet with steam or hot water and be sure the door can open easily without obstruction.
Use a double bed in only the littlest of rooms otherwise make sure the bed is king or queen sized. Make the bed look great so that it draws attention as it is the focal point of any bedroom. Employ or ask advise from a professional stager if design is not your strong point and consider purchasing new bedding to use when potential buyers arrive.
Next you need to look at your closets, apart from a few bits of clothing for design purposes clear the rest of the clothing out. Think about the specifics – wooden hangers make a much better impression than plastic ones, even though they will cost you a few dollars more.
