Entryways
Most buyers emotionally connect with a house within just a few minutes of entering a home, therefore, the entry is very important.
The first thing I must stress is cleaning and decluttering - if your house is full of clutter, a potential buyer will never be able to focus on the house itself, just your stuff.
Entries need a wow factor, something that draws the buyer in and makes them anticipate what the rest of the house may be like. A mirror or piece of art is very welcoming. Make sure any furniture and lighting in the entry is up to date. If you have a rug or door mat, make sure it is clean and in good condition. If not, it should be replaced. Also, the paint should be a neutral color. If it is too bright or bold, it could cause a negative reaction when someone steps into your home. That's certainly not what your going for!
Below are some fine examples of a well staged entry:
And don't forget, if you have a coat closet, it must be neat and organized since a potential buyer will certainly look inside! A great secret to staging your closet - hang empty wooden hangers in addition to a few coats to give the impression that there is plenty of space.
Until next time,
