For sell your property as quickly as possible and at the best priceIt is better to give yourself the best chance. And by luck, I mean, among other things, home-staging. A principle that is becoming more and more popular in order to make future buyers fall in love with the property and therefore to Trigger a sale.

Why home staging?

Literally the art of staging your propertyhome staging is a way to promote the sale of your property. More and more recommended, the technique consists in making one's property attractive to the greatest number of people without carrying out costly and time-consuming work.

6 keys to successful home staging

1. De-clutter the premises

We have an unfortunate tendency to accumulate objects and knick-knacks of all kinds. However, these objects, which we cherish so much, suffocate the space and make it difficult for us to move around.t prevent visitors from projecting themselves and thus to see how much space is available. So before the visits, we put everything in the boxes and we put away anything that sticks out (shoes in the hallway, piles of laundry, scattered toys... everything must go). Above all, we favour a minimalist home decoration.

2. One part = one function

A room that is half office, half dressing room, half laundry room never gives a good impression. It implies that the property lacks space. The idea here is, by defining a function for each room, to show to future buyers that the property has all the necessary space. Visitors will be able to better imagine how they would like to set up their business.

3. Making your property shine

It's difficult to project yourself in a property when you see some imperfections : peeling paint, possible cracks, mouldy bathroom seals, etc. The visitor will have the impression that the house is not healthy and that a lot of work will have to be done before you have a cosy nest. So don't hesitate to overuse of elbow grease particularly in the kitchen and bathroom No more grease and lime stains should be visible. These are parts for which future purchasers are attentive. Your accommodation must be perfect!

4. Harmonise the locations

Make sure that the parts are in harmony with each other: colours, materials, style or decoration. There is no need to be attached to the current decorating trend, simplicity will be your best ally. This will make the visit more pleasant for future buyers and the more comfortable visitors feel, the more likely you are to make them fall in love.

5. Focus on neutrality and depersonalization

Tastes and colours, an eternal debate! While some will favour colours in all the rooms of the house, others will prefer a softer atmosphere. So to catch the eye of as many potential buyers as possible, it is advisable to use neutral colours and to remove any personal objects (photos for example). White will allow you to put everyone in agreement and the future buyer will be able to easily repaint with the colour of his choice.

6. Highlighting assets

Like all housing, it has qualities and small defects. The aim here is not to "hide the misery" but to transform these small defects to make them disappear: mirrors to enlarge a room, carpets to seal off the space, beautiful lights for rooms with poor exposure... In short, there are many tips and decorating magazines are full of them.
