Interior Designer Shares Top Auckland Home Staging Tips
Home staging is a well-proven and cost-effective marketing strategy for selling a property. It positions your home in the best light possible, making it appealing and noticed by your target buyers. Our experienced interior designer Gaby Muir has kindly shared some of her favourite home staging tips for Auckland properties:
Keep things neutral – to appeal to the maximum number of buyers, each room inside your home should primarily consist of neutral colours. It’s okay to add some splashes of colour using cushions, fresh flowers and throw rugs to brighten up and attract attention to specific areas.
Avoid being personal – take the time to remove personal items from display, including family photos, hair and toothbrushes and artwork. Buyers want to be able to visualise themselves in the property, not your family.
Take note of lighting – aim for three sources of lighting in every room: ambient such as from a window, task by using pendants or under cabinet lighting and accent lighting with table or wall lamps. This may need to involve the installation of new forms of lighting and replacing window dressings to let more light inside.
Declutter – spend time packing up personal items such as books, ornaments, artwork, clothing, excess furniture and accessories. Hire a storage unit or remove to your garage to keep the property clear.
Stage the outdoors too – an indoor-outdoor lifestyle is highly prised in Auckland. Demonstrate what your property can offer through strategic placements of outdoor furniture and lighting, and keeping doorways clear to the outdoors.
Hire staging furniture – by far the best Auckland home staging tip we can give is to use the services of a professional home stylist who can provide their own staging furniture to achieve the best possible first impression.
