Learn how to stage your bedroom for a successful home sale with these expert tips. From decluttering and using neutral colours to optimizing furniture layout and showcasing ample storage, this guide will help you create a minimalist, inviting space that appeals to potential buyers.
Dressing a bedroom is one of the most important rooms to get right when dressing a home for sale. People see it as the most intimate room in the house, so making it inviting and desirable to a potential buyer is of the upmost importance.
Tip #1: Get the basics right
Dressing in a bedroom is very similar to dressing in a living room; they both carry similar rules to attempt to appeal to the 95th percentile of buyers.
As always, clearing the clutter from the space is the best way forward; any TVs, computers, or clothes need to be put away out of sight. Paint the walls a neutral colour to appeal to most people. Make the bedroom as minimalist as possible, as this space, in particular, is the most personal. Allowing no distractions for the buyers to project what they would want to change about the space is the best option.
Tip #2: Not too much furniture
All you need in the bedroom is:
· A bed
· A wardrobe
· A bedside table
· A chest of drawers (if needed)
Anything else will take up space in the bedroom.
Tip #3: Prove it’s a double
Double bedrooms are worth more than singles, proving they have more space. Use Double beds, if possible, to make the room look as big as possible.
We suggest placing the bed in the middle with space for two bedside tables.
Tip #4: Good storage is essential
Built-in storage is the best, but a free-standing wardrobe is good to show that storage can fit in the space.
For storage, it's best to follow the 75% rule.
The rule is to keep your cupboards 75% full or less. Giving a little bit of breathing space will give the impression that your home is well-ordered, organised, and, therefore, more desirable.
Having your cupboards or wardrobe bursting at the seams creates the impression that you do not have enough storage, and therefore, they will not.
Tip #5: Accessorise the space
Decorate the space a little to make it more homely and inviting. A few good suggestions for everyday and easy decorations are placing bedside lamps on each side of the bed, installing a headboard, and placing a vase of flowers. The best bedspread to have is white, as it makes the space look spotless and gives the impression of a hotel, creating a layer of luxury in the bedroom.
The key things to remember when dressing in a bedroom for sale are to keep the bedroom's main function as a bedroom and showcase ample storage with drawers or wardrobes. This creates a minimalistic space for the buyer to project their style onto.
Remembering these tips will greatly impress potential buyers and spark increased interest in your home.
