Selling your home? Stage it like a pro without breaking the bank! This video offers DIY tips for stunning home staging on a budget.

1. Declutter and Depersonalize:

• Clear the Clutter:  First impressions matter! Pack away unnecessary personal items, excess furniture, and knick-knacks. Aim for clean surfaces and a spacious feel.

• Depersonalize:  Buyers want to envision themselves living in the space. Remove family photos, religious items, and collections that might not appeal to everyone.

3. Stage Furniture for Flow and Function:

• Arrange for Purpose: Organize furniture to create designated areas for living, dining, and sleeping. Leave ample walking space between furniture pieces.

• Highlight Key Features: Use furniture placement to draw attention to architectural details like fireplaces or large windows.

4. Enhance Light and Ambiance:

• Harness Natural Light:  Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light, making the space feel larger and more welcoming.

• Warm Up with Lighting:  Use lamps and accent lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Consider floor lamps in corners and soft lighting in dining areas.
