What is home staging?

Last year saw a slow moving property market and house sellers really struggled to attract buyers.  So is now a good time to sell?

There is speculation that house prices are going to drop this year and late spring and summer are generally considered the most popular times of year to sell your home.

There is also a general rule of thumb that you will get the most interest in your home in the first 4-6weeks of putting it on the market.

However, this does not mean that you will get viewings or that those viewings will turn into offers.

To attract the right buyers your home needs to be ‘staged’ to attract the ideal customer.

This is where an expert in home staging can help you, so that the moment a prospective buyer steps into your home they know they want to live there. Well-staged homes often sell faster and at better prices.

The investment in hiring an interior designer or home staging expert to prepare your home for selling can potentially result in a higher return on investment by increasing the perceived value of your property.

Having a fresh pair of eyes look at your home and design it for sale can be a strategic and beneficial decision for several reasons:

Enhanced aesthetics
Interior designers have a keen eye for aesthetics and can elevate the visual appeal of your home. They understand how to arrange furniture, choose colour schemes, and add decorative elements that highlight the best features of each room.

Neutralizing personal style
Potential buyers often find it challenging to imagine themselves in a home that reflects the current owner’s personal style. Interior designers, such as Loke Interiors, can depersonalise spaces, creating a neutral and inviting environment that appeals to a broader audience and is still homely and comfortable for you to live in.

Optimising layout and maximising space
Interior designers excel at space planning. Loke Interiors can rearrange furniture and decor to optimise the flow and functionality of each room, making spaces feel more open, organised, and inviting. Effective staging can make rooms appear larger and more functional and therefore more appealing to buyers.

Creating emotional connections
By strategically incorporating design elements, Interior designers can help potential buyers feel a connection to the home, making it more likely for them to picture it as their own.

Highlighting key features
Loke Interiors know how to draw attention to the unique and attractive features of a home. Whether it’s a fireplace, architectural details, or a stunning view, they can ensure these aspects are showcased effectively.

Keeping up with trends
Designers stay updated on current design trends and can incorporate them into the staging process. This ensures that your home appears modern and up-to-date, attracting buyers who appreciate contemporary aesthetics.

In summary, involving an interior designer in the staging process can contribute to a faster and more successful sale by optimising the presentation of your home and making it more appealing to a wider range of potential buyers.
