Aside from kitchens and bathrooms, primary bedrooms are an important part of the home that buyers consider when making a home purchase.  While some buyers may prefer a larger bedroom while others like a cozy space, presenting your primary bedroom in its best form helps to make this space as appealing as possible to the largest group of buyers. Here are some staging suggestions for this space in your house in Locust Grove.

Simplify Furniture

It is important to keep in the mind the actual size of the primary bedroom when staging.  You will want the bed, nightstands, and a dresser to fit in the room in a way that allows people to easily walk around the space without bumping into walls.  While staging, consider removing excess furniture like desks or trunks that limit the flow of the room.  This helps buyers be able to visualize their own things in the space at your house in Locust Grove.

Make a focal point

Typically the bed becomes the focal point in the primary bedroom since it is the largest piece of furniture in the space.  You can create a welcoming, warm, and relaxing space by utilizing neutral bedding with a few throw pillows that bring a secondary color into the room.  Adding a simple headboard (like one of these) or a large picture above the bed can contribute to the vibe in the room.

Neutral Walls and Curtains

Remember, the point of staging is to appeal to as many people as possible, so having neutral walls is helpful.  If you’ve got a brightly colored wall, then it may be time to consider repainting it.  Adding curtains to a window in a neutral color can help to make the room feel more complete.  If you’ve got shorter ceiling heights in your house in Locust Grove, hanging curtains from the top of the wall can make the room feel taller.

Add lights 

While it may not be practical for sleeping, opening up the curtains and blinds during a showing fills the room with inviting light. If you’ve got a bedroom that is naturally dark, consider adding or just turning on the bedside lamps before a showing or switching up the lightbulbs in your light fixtures to a brighter color.

Clean off the tops of dressers

The tops of dressers often become a catch all place for things you intend to deal with later.  When staging a primary bedroom, clear off the tops of the dressers and replace only a few decorative pieces.  Put a small basket meant to collect everyday times on the dresser so that you can easily tuck it in a drawer before a showing.

Clean the closet

Since your home is on the market, now is the perfect time to decide what you want to take with you to your new home. Go through the closet and create piles for donation and trash. Pack up any out of season clothing in boxes or suitcases. Creating space in the closet helps buyers picture their items in your house in Locust Grove.

Get a laundry basket

It can be tough to keep the primary bedroom showing ready at all times when your home is on the market. Sometimes showing requests catch us off guard and there isn’t much time to clean up. When this happens, use a laundry basket to collect all the items that are on the floor, dressers, or just not where they belong. Tuck the basket in the car with you and after the showing you can work on putting the items away.
