Staging....Before & After Photos

 


Hodgepodge furnishings, heavy window treatments, sterile wall colors and family photos are a big no-no when selling your house.

Warming up the walls with paint, editing furniture & personal belongings go a long way into making this room appeal to more buyers.
   

Color is so important when you are selling.

Why risk having a buyer see a room in its original state?

Now when a buyer walks into this kitchen, they will have completely different feelings and emotions about this room.

The built-in bookshelves and fireplace are the focal points that need to be highlighted.

 

Carefully placed accessories and highlighting the fireplace, enticed a buyer with the very 1st showing!

What is this room? An office or a playroom? 

Proper furnishings and a warm paint choice, provides elegance and defines the room.

At Southern Staging & Redesign, we take blank spaces...

...and leave nothing to a buyers imagination. 

Southern Staging & Redesign can take a cold and sterile kitchen....

and make it warm and inviting. 

This dining area adjoined the formal living room without a chandelier to define the area, buyers didn't know what to do with the space.

After staging, a buyer will recognize the space as a dining room and can imagine their families using the space for their holiday dinners.


This foyer had a dated floor that buyers couldn't imagine how to change.

After staging the entrance, the flooring wasn't that noticeable and buyers can now imagine greeting their guest in their new home.

This vacant home had been on the market for over 1 year.  It looks cold and lonely.

After staging with furniture and accessories, a buyer purchased within 2 weeks. 


Vacant rooms always appear too small. Buyers didn't think it was large enough for a master bedroom.

With the addition of a queen size bed and other furnishings, it's easy to see how much space this room has to offer.

Updated room lacks emotional connection for a buyer.


Buyers now see a room where they can build family memories.

An empty and sterile breakfast room

Now, it's a cozy and friendly place to start the day.


 

  Only 10% of buyers can visualizes past the current home sellers belongs and style.                             


 

Now buyers can imagine themselves living in this space.

Sometimes, it's difficult to visualize a rooms function.

The function of the room is defined after staging as a breakfast room.

Country decor is too taste specific for most buyers.

Updated kitchen in country setting will appeal to a larger pool of buyers.

Furniture arrangement, collections, & clutter can make a room feel smaller.

Removing collections, clutter and changing furniture placement adds valuable floor space.

Updated bathroom with not so great presentation.

Which bathroom do you think a buyer is going to add to their "must see" list?

Before home staging consultation.

After home staging consultation.

Don't underestimate the importance of online photos. 

Which kitchen would a buyer find most appealing?

Another example of camera position and online photos.

Better camera position and lighting can make a huge difference in MLS photos.

Sun room steps out to deck is expected.

Sun room adjoining master bedroom is more appealing.

 

Clutter, personal decor and covered floors.

 

Neutralizing the walls and removing rug, highlights the selling features of the room.

Curb appeal is so important.  It's the buyers 2nd impression of the property.

 

Brightening up the front door with a quart of paint and decluttering the front stoop makes all the difference in the curb appeal of this property

10% of buyers can visualize a property with the current home owners taste and belongings. That means 90% of the buyers that saw this room before could not imagine this room as something they could live in.

 

 

Warming up the walls with paint, rearranging furniture, adding accessories and defining the room for a buyer will appeal to more buyers.  Low cost solution for best return on investment for this seller.

 

Cold and dark paint before home staging consultation.

 

Warm and inviting after changing paint color to a lighter shade that will appeal to a buyer.

Appliances have been updated however buyers are willing to pay more money for a move in ready house.

 

Updating wall colors and adding new granite counter tops, sink and faucet makes this kitchen move in ready.

 

Bold ceiling color choice and owner specific bedding makes a buyer feel like they are intruding in sellers personal space.

 

Lightening up the ceiling color and updating bedding for the target market for this property helps the buyer view this as a possibility for them.
