When selling a property, it is often most beneficial to provide staging for the location. This involves placing furniture that shows the diversity and usability of the space to encourage potential buyers to see the potential and imagine how they could use the space to their benefit.
Remove Personal Belongings and Specific Use Furnishings
Whether staging a business or commercial property or a residence, the first step is to remove any personal belongings and photos, and if the area is for general use, furnishings that serve only one purpose should be removed. The goal of staging is to allow the potential buyer or renter to see it as suitable for their own purposes as well. Locations like salons or spas, restaurants, and others should maintain the equipment suitable to the business but decluttered to appear spacious and clean. When showing rooms that work well for an office, having some clean and relaxed office furniture Brisbane can show the intent of the space and give an idea of what could be done. Still, it should also be flexible and, when possible, show or discuss other possible uses as well. People who are looking to raise a family may enjoy seeing kid’s rooms painted and decorated but without lots of toys so they can imagine their own belongings in the space.
Choosing a Theme or Setting
If following a theme for staging, choose something that is welcoming and suited to the area and the location. For example, downtown high-rise apartments may not be well received with a country design, while relaxed family homes may not be best displayed with chrome accessories but with comfortable furniture and open spaces. When you have chosen a theme, it can be for a room or two, with a related theme in another area. When done well, this can show that there is space for each person to show their own personality while keeping the home cohesive and maintain a flow throughout the space. Furniture that is chosen for a theme should be as neutral as possible. This allows for those viewing the space to imagine their furniture in the space and how it would fit. Smaller furniture pieces and a minimalist approach will make the space appear large and open, with plenty of room to move and fit their own personality and belongings.
Rent or Borrow Furnishings
Buying new furniture may not be an option for everyone who is furnishing a home for showings, though new furniture that is clean and shows no wear will present the best. Renting furniture that is only used for this purpose is a financially efficient method and will not result in all new furniture that you need to sell or store after the sale. Companies that work in the industry will be able to supply all the furnishings for one cost for a set period of time, including dropping it off and picking it up in many cases. Where a rental can not be found, borrowing from others and adding your own can be an efficient and simple way to furnish your space for showings.
