STAGING C ONDOS
AFTER
Highlight Strengths So maybe your home isn’t perfect, but surely there are some great features. After all, you bought the place, right? Think back to the things that originally drew you to the home. Play up these strengths. In this condo, the countertops were dated and the bathrooms could use an upgrade, but the gorgeous natural light, large rooms and killer views were easy to focus on. We tied back the curtains to make sure buyers get a full view of the huge glass panels. We accessorized each countertop, sticking to our color palette, added minimal accessories and created an outdoor seating area that’s alluring to potential buyers. Find the unique and appealing features in your home and focus attention on those.
BEFORE
Define Areas While open floor plans are very appealing, it’s important to show the buyers that the space can still be broken up into functional zones. We established a dining area in the large living room, and created a small bar area along an open wall. We also defined an inviting entryway with a seating area for potential buyers to sit and remove coats or snowy boots and enjoy the space. If there are unused rooms or spaces in your home, don’t kill yourself trying to fill the space, instead use simple pieces to hint at the possibilities of how the new owners could use the space. Large open spaces can be daunting to buyers, so give them some general ideas on how to utilize the rooms.
