At Tower Staging & Design, we understand how to improve the appearance of a luxury home. Anyone who has invested in an older residential property will want to stage it in the proper way to make it easier to sell the home as fast as possible. The concept of flipping a home that is in poor condition is to repair it at the lowest cost to sell it at a high profit, and it is important to complete this process quickly to avoid any financial losses. Here are seven ways to stage a flipped home to ensure that you receive an offer.

Home Staging Tip 1: Don't Leave a Flipped Home Empty

It is important to make a flipped home look like it is a livable place for families. This requires removing debris from all of the rooms after the flipping process is completed. You should have the home cleaned thoroughly by experts, making sure that the house smells good. At the same time, don't make a home look too cluttered because the rooms will seem smaller. Make sure that there are no pests in the home so that potential buyers will make an offer.

Home Staging Tip 2: Choose Neutral Paint Colors

Add neutral paint colors to the walls and ceilings of a home, making it easier for new buyers to move into the property with the furniture that they already own. Use off-white, beige or white paint rather than using any pastel or bright colors of paint or wallpaper. You should also use the same concept outside the home by using neutral paint colors on the siding and window shutters. Make sure that the colors of paint look perfect next to the home's flooring or carpets.

Home Staging Tip 3: Feature a Home's Decorative Elements

Make sure to feature a home's decorative elements by removing old floor tiles or rolls of linoleum from the floors. Underneath these worn items in an older home, you will likely find beautiful hardware flooring that you can refurbish. Potential homebuyers may want to see luxurious carpeting in a home, but again, select neutral colors of carpets that will look great with all types of furniture. An older home may also have other wood elements, such as baseboards, doorframes or staircase railings that you should feature when you are showing the house to potential buyers.

Home Staging Tip 4: Natural Lighting and New Light Fixtures

Potential buyers want to have natural lighting in a home, so you must have high-quality windows with attractive window blinds and draperies. Keep the window coverings open during the showings so that the home shoppers can see everything inside a home. Make sure that the view from outside a window is beautiful, helping you to attract an offer from a buyer. In addition, you should have modern energy-efficient light fixtures inside a home. During the summer, you may want to have ceiling fans installed to make the home feel cooler.

Home Staging Tip 5: Concentrate on the Kitchen and the Bathrooms

Potential homebuyers are especially interested in a house's kitchen and bathrooms. This is because these rooms are difficult to upgrade while someone is living inside a home. You should create a better floor plan for these spaces so that you can replace old plumbing fixtures and cabinets. In the kitchen, you can install new appliances, making it simpler for a buyer to begin living in a home right away. You can place decorative items on the kitchen countertops, and also, make sure to have a shower curtain, rugs and linens in the bathroom.

Home Staging Tip 6: Upgrade the Property's Landscaping

The first thing that a potential buyer will notice is the home's landscaping and exterior. Make sure that the grass is mowed and that the shrubs or trees are trimmed to augment the property. Clean the sidewalks and the driveway of the property, but also, create an attractive front porch or door. For this part of the staging process, you may need to hire professional landscapers who can plant flowers or shrubs to help the remodeled home look its best.

Home Staging Tip 7: Add Furniture and Other Items to the Home

The experts at Tower Staging & Design recommend using high-quality rental furniture, artwork and other items to help you sell a flipped property faster. With couches, tables and beds in a home, a potential buyer can imagine what it would feel like to live in the renovated house. It is a good idea to select neutral furnishings, but you can add trending embellishments to attract younger buyers. Having houseplants and other decorative touches in the home can help you to sell the home quickly.
