Bedroom Ideas – How to Stage with Personality

November 09, 2012 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Staging your home for sale doesn’t mean that your rooms have to lack personality. Bedrooms are a great place to highlight different themes to help the potential buyer imagine themselves in that space. Ideally, bedroom decorating ideas should reflect the age groups that make up a potential buyer’s family.
 
Here are some bedroom ideas from Calgary homes that I recently staged:

Note that the common elements in every room are:

  • Clean, tidy, uncluttered, bright – This helps the potential buyer focus on how large the room is and how easy it is to move around, rather than getting distracted by a lot of ‘stuff’.
  • Neutral walls and floors – This helps the potential buyer imagine their own furniture and accessories fitting in the space. While the room has personality, it is not drowning in a theme.
  • Theme accessories are easily removed – Because the personality is created through accessories like textiles and art that highlight the bed as the focal point in the room, the potential buyer wouldn’t have to do any work (like removing wallpaper or painting to cover over strong colours) to make the room feel like their own. Making it easy for the buyer makes it easier for you to sell.

 
Add some personality to bedrooms to keep a house from feeling too sterile when you are staging it for sale. There are endless bedroom ideas that can be effective, as long as you keep your potential buyer in mind.
