Selling or renting your townhome? The ideal staging will make your space appear bigger, more inviting, and completely ready to move in. Buyers and renters can’t see how to use a space, but staging takes the dilemma away. Well-placed furniture, carefully lit, and beautiful décor showcase the best features of your townhome.
Any empty area will seem unfriendly, which will make it hard for the buyers to imagine themselves in it. The rooms look smaller when there is no furniture, and the buyers cannot imagine how their furniture will fit. Staging makes the house seem hospitable by creating spaces, improving flow, and emphasizing the best aspects of the house.
Townhomes pose unique design dilemmas in the form of limited rooms, shared walls, and multiple floors. Unlike single-family residences with larger rooms, townhome staging is more a matter of maximizing each inch. Well-placed furniture creates an open flow with a sense of welcome, while the application of neutral color schemes and the selective use of light creates the appearance of added space.
Staging each area is ideal, although there are rooms with a greater impact on buyers. The living room is the hub of the house and should be made light, welcoming, and spacious. The kitchen is the second most significant area, with buyers noticing its design and the amount of storage it presents. The master bedroom should be staged to be a peaceful oasis, with light bedding and minimal clutter. Dining rooms, regardless of their size, are made more appealing by staging, which defines the area and makes it functional.
Yes, it is actually possible to stage a townhome while still living in it. A professional stager can work with your furniture, rearranging it to display it in an appealing, neutral way. The most significant factor is eliminating the extraneous items, which makes the rooms appear larger and more inviting. Personal touches should be minimal so the buyers can envision their personal style in the house. Small things such as new paint, new throw pillows, and selective light can make the appearance of the house much more desirable.
Staging timelines will vary based on the condition and size of the house, but the majority can be staged in a matter of a few days to a week. The return on the investment is very good, with staged homes selling faster at a higher price than unstaged homes. Buyers will be more inclined to make an offer on a house which seems to be move-in-ready than one which appears empty or outdated.
