We all understand how a little bit of decorating and accessories used in staging can add a different look and modernize your home. Hiring a stager can be expensive and sometimes we are not sure how to find a good home stager. With the cost in mind, here are some budget-friendly Ottawa staging ideas to help sell your home:
- Add slipcovers to an older couch. This simple idea can really transform the look of your couch without the cost of buying a new one. Keep the slipcovers in a neutral tone to compliment your room.
- Let the light shine in. Open up your drapes and increase the wattage in light fixtures to make your rooms appear brighter and roomier.
- Add some greenery. Just by adding a small plant in the kitchen or bathroom can add some freshness to your décor. Get a medium-sized vase and add some citrus – think alternating lemons and limes to give a splash of colour to your kitchen table or counter.
- Make your ceilings appear higher. Just add a narrower style vase with some tall branches in your living or dining room area. In the bedroom take your curtain rods higher near the ceiling and have the rod extend past your window frame. Move your curtains to the side to add height and width.
- Looking to change your bed linens? Check out discount department stores for bed-in-a-bag at a fraction of the price to change the look of your bedroom.
These are just a few ideas to add some simple touches to your home when you are selling it. However, let’s face it not all of us understand how to stage and what you need to do to get the look to be cohesive and not scattered.
