If you are trying to sell your small home, it can be a bit daunting! Sometimes, your home may look crowded, or you are not sure what to stow away and what to keep out. Here is where we can help you.
In a world where you think bigger is better, it is not always so! With the right touches, your cozy home can come alive with amazing home staging ideas. Here is how we can stage small spaces and get the great results you need.
How to stage a small place
You need to be strategic when you are staging and styling a small place. With the right approach, it can be done.
- Use mirrors by placing them near a bright window to add depth and light
- Vertical elements can change the dynamic – add wall-mounted shelves or tall plants.
- Highlight key pieces rather than add clutter.
Add creativity and function
You need to have an eye for detail when you style your small home for the real estate market. Use furniture that can be multi-functional.
- Have a sofa bed in your living area that can accommodate guests but still be stylish.
- Make the room look elevated with vertical bookshelves or art pieces that draw the eye upward.
Simple is best!
When you are staging small spaces, decluttering and simplifying are the key ingredients to a beautifully styled smaller home.
- Remove excess furniture and personal items.
- Each piece of furniture should serve a purpose.
- Lighter colours make your home look larger and more inviting.
- Add pops of colour to a neutral décor with accessories – pillows and rugs.
Brighten your interior
The right lighting is very important when selling your home.
- Choose ambient and accent light for depth and warmth in your home.
- Layer lighting with sconces and table lamps for style and function.
- Dimmer switches are great for adjusting the brightness.
- Choose white, soft greys and pastels for the walls to reflect light and add calmness.
Create zones
A small interior needs to have zones that define functionality and flow.
- Design areas for work, dining and relaxing.
- A side table can also transform into a desk.
- Give each zone a purpose for added aesthetics and functionality.
