Looking to sell your home? One of the best things that you can do to sell your home quickly is staging. It gives your home a clean, welcoming feel that increases the chance of your house being sold. Today, we're going to look at seven DIY home staging tips. Let's get right in!

Remove Personal Pictures And Belongings

We know, family pictures, awards, trophies, they all tell a story about your family. However, for the purposes of selling your home, it's important to pack away personal belongings. Whenever buyers come into a home, they want to see a blank slate. They want something that they can put their personal touch on. Taking down personal pictures can help buyers envision themselves in your home. 

Choose Themes For Your Rooms

Although we just said not to have personal belongings, it's important to stage your rooms with certain themes. For instance, if you're selling a family home, consider giving each guest bedroom a theme. This will allow potential home buyers to envision themselves and their family enjoying the residence. 

Additionally, as a quick piece of advice, it is usually better to go with more neutral themes as opposed to bold ones. 

Bye Bye Clutter

Whenever potential buyers visit a home, one of the last things they want to see is clutter. Clutter makes a home feel tight and less inviting. We recommend packing at least a few of your belongings in designated storage areas. This will help buyers see the potential in your home. 

Improve Lighting

Believe it or not, lighting plays a crucial role in whether or not buyers will seriously consider purchasing a home. Particularly, most buyers love natural light. Open curtains and blinds throughout the home to give your home the illusion of great lighting. If you have a room that is poorly lit, look to brighten it up with lamps or lighting fixtures. 

Eliminate Odors

The last thing that home buyers want to experience as they step into a home is a strong odor. If you have pets, odorous materials, or other sources of odor, look to eliminate them before showing your home. 

Deep Clean Your Home

Whenever we say deep clean, we don't mean straighten; we mean cleaning all of the nooks and crannies. What does deep cleaning entail? Deep cleaning should involve dusting, vacuuming, appliance cleaning and more. If you're looking to deep clean your home, expect to spend at least a couple of days.

Perform Simple Repairs

Last but not least, it's critical you recognize simple home issues and repair them. We don't mean major projects that require professional help, but rather simple tasks. This includes: installing new appliances, putting in new fixtures, basic plumbing, and any other applicable repairs.
