I am a visual person and I love to look at pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed perusing through boocoos of photos for today's post and I think the photos featured today speak for themselves so I'm keeping my comments brief....
What comes to your mind when you look at these photos? For me, they evoke a feeling of rest, serenity, and relaxation - a sanctuary if you will. A place that I'd like to curl up in and stay awhile.
That is your goal when staging your bedroom. You want the buyer to be able to envision themselves living there. So, some important points in staging the bedroom:
-Keep the wall color and bedding neutral. A busy pattern on the bed will prevent anyone from actually looking at the room.
-Symmetry works beautifully in a master bedroom and conveys to the buyer that it's a retreat for two: bedside tables, lamps, and pillows can be used symmetrically.
-Layering pillows and bed linens adds luxury
Don't be afraid to use pops of color to add interest, just be sure and stay away from gender specific colors and patterns like pink and florals.
And about the kids' rooms....
Make sure they're clean with a minimum of toys, no diaper pails please...
Again, neutral walls and bedding make a nice impression. The map wall may be a bit gender specific - it was a big hit with a certain 10 year old boy, but the rest of the room is neutral and very organized.
Set the kids' bedrooms as a place of rest and study. By keeping the toys to a minimum, you keep away the chaos.
And of course, the bedroom closet is an important feature to a buyer, after all, they want to see if there is adequate storage space for their clothing. Our next post will be all about closets and storage spaces, so look for that post on Thursday.
Now that I've given you a few tips on how to use those bedroom eyes, you can create a wonderful space of your own, even if you won't be staying there for too long...
Until Thursday,
