The use of home staging has proven itself:this technique of highlighting the strengths of a space has led to many sales or rental contracts that were not won in advance. What are the tricks of these professionals who manage in two steps to completely transform a room? We know some of them, thanks to the decorators of Coco Republic, an Australian brand specializing in “elegant, discreet and sophisticated” furniture. Preparing a home before presenting it to potential buyers (or tenants) is an essential step according to professionals, which can not only help to close the deal more quickly, but also to increase the value of the property. As they explained to Daily Mail Australia , the first impression is very important, so regarding the exteriors, well-cleaned windows, a clear driveway and trimmed hedges have their little effect.
Inside, the focus should be on a neutral palette on the walls and floors, to give a sense of space and clarity. The buyer must be able to take ownership of the premises, and the best way to achieve this is to give them a minimalist appearance, by storing as many personal effects as possible and removing family photos, for example. In terms of objects to be placed here and there, keep in mind that it is better to sell a “lifestyle” rather than a space. Scented candles bring comfort, green plants give a sense of life and “texture” to a room, and fruit baskets and mirrors fill out the decor and balance it all out. Finally, the last tips concern more discreet details, such as cookbooks that imply that the seller is an innovative and creative person, and decorative elements illustrating a horse or a bird, animals that symbolize freedom.
If you're not planning to sell your home, you can still apply these tips to improve your living space and maximize the potential of each room. Good luck!
