Staging is key to making a good impression when advertising a rental vacation property or selling real estate. In order to persuade a buyer or tenant to choose the property, it is important to enable him or her to envision the ambience that the home has to offer. Many seemingly small details are actually crucial to an attractive presentation of real estate. These five details will help set your home apart and ensure that prospective buyers can envision the ambience they desire.

1. Upholstery Cleaning

While prospective buyers may not be interested in buying your furniture, little details like clean upholstery alert visitors to the kind of care a property was given. Stains and dirt on upholstered furniture give the impression that the property may not have been properly maintained. It is possible to remove some stains with upholstery cleaning products, such as Woolite, but in many cases, it is best to hire a local professional upholstery cleaning service in Oviedo. Be selective and choose a service that offers eco-friendly upholstery cleaning.

2. Float Your Furniture

Place furniture away from the walls to make rooms seem larger.  By placing furniture in clear conversation groups, you give prospective buyers an impression that the room is user-friendly.

3. Make the Best Use of Space

See what furniture you can live without. Many professional stagers remove unnecessary furniture from a home to make the space seem larger. Now is the time to get organized; make sure any clutter is out of sight before a prospective buyer views your home. If you have any spaces that don’t have a purpose other than to collect unused items or paperwork, transform the space into a cozy reading nook, sewing room, or desk area. Help buyers visualize how they might be able to enjoy every space in your home.

4. Use Odd Numbers in Your Décor

When decorating, use odd numbers. Groups of three are more visually appealing when it comes to accessories. Create ensembles of décor that are unified in color, shape, or texture.

5. Spring Clean

Make sure to remove any stains from your carpet and mold from your kitchen or bathroom tile. Simply ensuring your space is as clean as possible will give the best impression. It is worth the investment to hire a service to clean your carpets and to remove any existing mold issues.
