Selling your home can be a stressful and overwhelming process, but it doesn’t have to be! With the right styling and prep, you can make your home stand out to potential buyers and sell it faster. In this blog post, we’ll share 10 tips for styling your home to sell faster.

Declutter and Clean.

The first step to styling your home to sell faster is to declutter and clean. Get rid of any unnecessary items and organize your space. Clean every room from top to bottom, including baseboards, windowsills, and floors.

2. Touch up Paint and Consider Repainting.

Bold colors can be a turnoff to potential buyers. Neutralize your home by painting walls and replacing any bold accessories with neutral ones. Or if that is too big of a task or not needed, just touch up any spots needing some extra love!

3. Lighting is Key.

Proper lighting can make a big difference in the look and feel of your home. Open up blinds and curtains to let in natural light, and replace any outdated light fixtures. You can find inexpensive fixtures linked on our LTK.

4. Create a Focal Point.

A focal point draws the eye and can help create a memorable impression. Consider adding a statement piece of furniture, artwork, or even a fireplace to create a focal point in your space.

5. Decorate with Purpose.

Decor can add character and interest to a room, but it’s important to accessorize with purpose. Don’t overdo it, and make sure they complement the room’s style and purpose.

6. It’s Gotta Smell Good!

Make your home appealing to all of the senses, including smell. Bad smells can be a major turnoff to potential buyers. Make sure your home smells fresh and clean by using air fresheners, candles, or essential oils. Remember the 5 C’s-cookies, clean linen, cinnamon, cedar, and citrus.

7. Use Plants and Flowers.

Plants and flowers can bring life to a room and make it feel more welcoming. Use fresh or faux flowers or potted plants to add color and freshness to your space.

8. Show Storage Space.

Potential buyers are always looking for ample storage space. Make sure your closets and cabinets are organized and decluttered to show off your storage space.

9. Stage Outdoor Spaces.

Don’t forget about your outdoor spaces when styling your home to sell faster. Make sure your outdoor spaces are clean and organized, and add outdoor furniture if possible to show how the space can be used.

10. Hire a Professional.

Sometimes it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Hire a professional stager to help style your home to sell faster. They can bring a fresh perspective and have the expertise to make your home stand out to potential buyers.
