You’ve probably heard the expression, “It’s the little things that count.” When it comes to staging your home for sale, it really is true. A small touch can trigger a reaction in a potential buyer – positive or negative. As a professional stager, I know that proper use of props can produce a profit. Say that five times quickly!
Of course we want positive reactions to our property for sale. So staging the house with the buyer in mind is the goal. In every space, it’s important to consider the big picture (how the space makes the person feel) and the small details (how can this space be brighter, for example).

In the room in the photo, it was the mirrors that stole the show. For less than $100 each from HomeSense, we were able to make the space feel spacious, bright and classy. Using two mirrors created two clearly usable spaces. It helped to bounce light around the room to make it feel larger. And it reflected the vignette of the chandelier and artwork above the fireplace in the other room. What a welcoming way to enter a bathroom!
This space made such an impression that the client made an offer. It shows that the way a person feels about one room can expand out to the way they feel about the entire house. Make sure it feels positive. Otherwise, lose the sale.
What props can you use to create the image and feeling that wows a potential buyer? Start to “think and see” like a professional home stager and get your house sold faster! Or, hire me, and I’ll do the work for you! |
