Oh, you will love us for this one. Let’s talk about one of our favorite secret weapons when it comes to staging homes to sell at top dollar. Krystin and I love using the seasons to level up the atmosphere of our client’s homes when they are selling.
Whether it’s amplifying the fresh breezes of spring, capturing the light of summer, or finessing the changing colors of autumn and elevating the coziness of winter, strategizing your home staging using seasons can showcase your home’s beauty in a unique way.
So, grab a cup of something delicious, settle in, and let's dive into the world of staging your home to sell, season by season.
Spring into Serenity
There is nothing better than the first warm-ish days after the long winter. To capture this feeling, we like to focus on creating a clean and vibrant atmosphere within our homes. Try opening those windows to let in the gentle breezes and natural light of a beautiful spring day.
PRO-TIP: Arrange a bouquet of colorful, seasonal flowers as a warm welcome to potential buyers. Consider adding some potted plants to your porch or balcony to highlight outdoor spaces bursting with life.
Summertime and the Stagin’ Is Easy
Embrace the joy of summer by staging your home into relaxing oasis for potential buyers. Swap out heavy curtains for sheer ones to let the sunshine in.
PRO-TIP: We like to set up cozy seating areas in backyard spaces and patios to help buyers envision themselves in their future home. We like to add bright cushions to elevate outdoor furniture and add umbrella for shade. Keep things airy and inviting with light-colored décor and consider adding a splash of light and clean scents.
Autumnal Ambiance
Fall. We can practically smell the pumpkin spice. Take advantage of the ultimate season of warm hues and cozy vibes by creating an enchanting ambiance within your space.
Accentuate the comfort of your home with textured throws and plump cushions. Embrace the season with a tasteful fall wreath on your door and a bowl of freshly picked apples on the kitchen counter.
PRO-TIP: Highlight your fireplace with a tasteful arrangement of logs and a few well-placed candles.
Winter Wonderland
Baby, it's cold outside – but inside, your home is a snug retreat for potential buyers to envision themselves in. We like to add layered blankets on sofas and beds to add an inviting a touch of warmth and softness in cozy spaces.
PRO-TIP: Offer hot cocoa or cider during open houses to give a taste of the cozy evenings they can enjoy in their potential home.
Remember, the key is to make potential buyers feel like they're stepping into a warm and welcoming haven – regardless of the season. So, go ahead and embrace the beauty of each time of year as you prepare to pass the torch to a new homeowner.
