When selling a home, first impressions count. The first 7-10 seconds is when a buyer forms an opinion and a great way to form these all necessary good first impressions is by home staging.

Home staging is about illusions and creating the perfect moods in your house. Staging makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, and best of all, it makes home buyers want to buy it. Instantly! Although not an entirely new concept, it’s gradually picking up favour as sellers see the results. When you consider that houses are not only sold faster when you use home staging, they’re also on average sold for at 17% higher price than a home that is not staged, it’s definitely something you want to know about.

As online property portals are now providing a platform to showcase your house, you may not, as a seller, even have the chance for someone to physically view your property. The images used on these sites can make or break a sale, so they must make the property look perfect.

One of the most important rooms in the house, as we spend a third of our lives in bed, and a room that buyers need to fall in love with, is the bedroom.  Mattress Online have created a guide on how to home stage a bedroom to ensure it looks like the bedroom of a buyer’s dream.
