Calgary home staging generally involves creating an inviting, appealing space where potential buyers can imagine living. Realty Unleashed offers our clients free home staging in Edmonton and Calgary. But even so, there are several ways you can stay budget-friendly while staging your house.
Declutter and clean!
If you want to stage your Calgary home without spending too much money, start by decluttering and cleaning it. This will help create a clean, spacious environment that appeals to potential buyers. First, remove excess items and personal belongings from each room, including on countertops, and organize storage spaces. Then, thoroughly clean the whole property, including baseboards, light fixtures, and windows. By doing this, you’ll make your home look its best and allow buyers to see it as a blank canvas for their own ideas. Following these initial steps will help you create an effective and affordable home staging process that will work well in the competitive Calgary real estate market.
Thoughtful furniture placement
One of the biggest myths when it comes to Calgary home staging is that you need to buy or rent new furniture to stage your home. That is just not the case – you can absolutely use what you have! To create a welcoming and spacious feel in each room, evaluate its layout and rearrange the furniture. Highlight the unique features of each space by strategically placing furnishings to enhance natural traffic flow and balance – move couches away from walls, position living room chairs in a way that promotes conversation, etc. It’s good to consider the size of each piece of furniture, and repositioning them can make a significant difference. By doing so, you’ll optimize the available space and ensure that the property is presented most appealingly and functionally possible for potential buyers. This budget-friendly approach is an excellent way to make the most of the available space without spending much (or any) money!
Add greenery and plants
Adding plants is a budget-friendly way to improve your property’s appearance during Calgary home staging. By placing inexpensive potted plants or fresh flowers in various rooms, you can create a welcoming atmosphere. Not only do plants add a natural touch, but they also bring colour and freshness, which can make your property more vibrant and visually appealing. Choose low-maintenance indoor plants like snake plants, pothos, or succulents to ensure longevity and easy maintenance. These plants can be placed strategically in corners, tabletops, or near windows to create balance and draw attention to specific areas. This simple addition can make your property more inviting and help potential buyers imagine the potential of the space, making it more memorable and appealing during showings.
