ome staging is simply the process of making your home appear comfortably livable. This presentation means making sure buyers can visualize themselves living in your home. Effective home staging touches everything from the mailbox to the linen closet.
How to Stage Your Closets
• Keep the closet visually appealing
•Keep the closet organized.
• Keep the closet only one-third full.
How to Stage a Clothes Closet
• Clothes should be organized by first category, then by color
• Remove everything from the floor.
• Hang belts and ties on appropriate racks.
How to Stage a Pantry or Storage Closet
• The same principles you used in the bedroom, organizing by categories and colors, also apply to pantries and storage closets.
• Openness is extremely important in these spaces.
How to Stage a Linen Closet
• Think about how department stores display sheets and towels.
• Each towel is folded into thirds so that no edge is ragged.
• The rounded side of the folded towel faces out, effectively hiding all inconsistencies.
• Once again, the towels are sorted by color.
Don’t forget the one-third rule, and pack up excess linens. Staging your home helps it to sell quickly. For more information call me 847-361-5605
