Are you the kind of person who feels a sense of excitement or relief when spaces are well organized? Potential buyers certainly might be. If you’re selling your home or condo, keep these utility closet staging ideas in mind. Apply the same techniques in other storage areas of your home for maximum impact.
 
As soon as I saw the utility closet featured in an article in Real Simple Magazine, I knew I had to “pin it” to the Set Your Stage Pinterest page, “For the Home”. That’s where I keep images of products or ideas that will inspire a staging project that I work on in the future.
 
The utility closet in the photo is jam packed, yet clean and organized looking. Any home owner would enjoy going into that closet to access their cleaning supplies (even if they don’t enjoy cleaning). So when you’re selling your house, why not impress a potential buyer with these utility closet staging ideas:
 
Use every zone of the space – Wall, floor, hanging rod, upper shelf, and even the door. Add hooks, baskets, over the door hangers, plastic bins etc. to create the structure to keep everything organized.
 
Think outside the box – Don’t limit yourself to items that are specifically designed for one purpose. In the photo, notice that a hanging shoe bag is used to hold cleaning products. Be creative.
 
Paint – It may seem a bit silly to paint inside a closet, but a quick coat of white paint can make it feel clean and spacious.
 
Using these utility closet staging ideas, you can kick it up a notch to create a positive impression for potential buyers. The best part is, it’s not expensive or hard to achieve. Want to see more? Check out Set Your Stage on Pinterest and get inspired by whatever draws your eye.
