Bathroom Staging TipsBathroom Staging Tips

When you go to sell your home, every room needs to be shown off in the best light possible. One of the most important rooms to get right, is the bathroom. Bathroom remodels can be costly, but there are a few easy tricks you can do to turn a ho-hum bath into one that will have potential buyers anxious to move in. Follow these bathroom staging tips!

Recently, an article was posted on the Realty Executives International blog, and this is quick summary of the points made in that article, and I’ll link to the full article at the bottom.

Give it a face lift with a coat of paint

Paint goes a long way to make a room look new, and is relatively inexpensive. In a bathroom, due to moisture the walls can become streaked or water stained. Give the walls a good clean and then cover it with a fresh coat of paint. If the old color was dated, choose a new color that matches the flooring that will brighten the room. Bathrooms are typically small so using a lighter color will make it feel bigger.

Replace the door hardware

This is important if your home is older. New door hardware is a fast and inexpensive update.

Declutter the room

Careful staging of a home helps sell it quickly. Pack away all the clutter, excess accessories and personal items, as you want the buyer to picture their furniture and furnishing in the rooms. Clearing things out also makes rooms and surfaces appear bigger.

Summary

Staging or improving a room need not be expensive or time consuming. Any effort you do put in though often pays off in being able to sell your home quickly and for the best price.
