Top 10 DIY Home Staging Tips
These 10 tips hold some of the most important, cost effective and easiest ways to make your home more sale-able to potential buyers.
Remove all personal photos and pictures. If they are hanging on the walls, replace them with canvas art as to not leave visible holes. If they are scattered around the house on tables, then replace with attractive vases, plants, or something similar.
Use groups of 2s and 3s that complement each other and work with the color schemes in your home.
Cluster groups of your furniture to make conversation areas.
Throw pillows in various patterns and colors that add a punch to a sofa or a couple of chairs. Add a throw across a sofa, chair or a bench to soften and add texture.
Use vignettes of 2 chairs and a small table in between, and rugs to anchor the room.

Use a green plant or an orchid on a small table for interest.
Do not push all the furniture against the walls. Center pieces around a focal point, like a fireplace or TV.
Fill nooks in your home with a desk, a bench, or reading chair. Give a sense of purpose to the entire home.
Use a collection of mirrors in various sizes on one wall of smaller rooms. It looks attractive and makes the space appear larger…especially if near a window.
Use a clean welcome mat at the front door and add some greenery or flowers on or near your porch.
