Top Decorating Tips for Apartment Staging
Apartment staging is crucial for making a lasting impression on potential buyers or renters. Here we are sharing some expert tips we employ to elevate an apartment's appeal to potential buyers.
Create a Welcoming Entrance
First impressions matter. Ideally your front door is freshened up with a new coat of paint, so that when we add an eye-catching welcome mat, and place some potted plants nearby, potential buyers are instantly impressed. These small touches will set a positive tone before visitors even step inside.
Maximize Natural Light
We open all curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible. This simple act can make your apartment feel larger and more inviting. For areas with limited windows, we strategically place lamps and light fixtures to create a warm, well-lit ambiance.
Use Neutral Colours
Stick to neutral wall colours like white, cream, or gray. This allows potential tenants to easily envision their own style in the space. Our stylists add pops of colour through accessories like throw pillows, rugs, or artwork to create visual interest without overwhelming the space.
Appropriate Furniture Choices
Our team selects furniture that fits the scale and layout of your apartment, opting for double or queen beds instead of a king in smaller bedrooms, and chooses a dining table with four chairs rather than six if space is limited. We may opt to incorporate multifunctional furniture such as side tables and benches with hidden storage space, or drop-leaf tables that serve as work desks during the day and dining tables in the evening. This can show great possibilities to maximize space without cluttering it.
Define Spaces in Open Layouts
One of our favourite options is grouping furniture and accessories to create distinct areas in open-concept apartments. For example, positioning a couch and chairs around a coffee table on a plush rug to define the living area, even if it's close to the kitchen.
By implementing these decorating tips, you can create an appealing and functional space that resonates with potential buyers or renters, showcasing your apartment's full potential.
