If you are in the market for a new home (or want to sell yours)
go in with your eyes open. Here are
5Things that home stagers (or you) will (can) do to hide flaws…
Are you in the market for a new
home or want to sell yours before this hot market cools? Here are 5Things
to look for that stagers will do to make a house more attractive. Or if you want to read that backwards, here
are 5Things you can do to make your
home stand out more:
-
Look for giant mirrors that may be hiding a
bottleneck or dead end or other awkward spaces.
-
Is every light blazing away? Might mean a lack of natural lighting in the
house.
-
Know that one room, usually a child's room will
be tricked out as a distinctive memory point so you will more easily remember
the house.
-
Are there two bedside tables? Often sellers will ditch one to make a
bedroom look bigger.
-
Look for normal living furniture in rooms. Often furniture, important furniture, is
removed from a house to make it look larger, but always ask yourself, 'Is this
the normal amount of furniture for a family of 5 - or should I expect three
kids to share 1 bed…'
