Your Guest Room and How to Stage It Successfully
Staging a guest bedroom should possibly be the simplest task while preparing your house for selling. Like every space in your house, this one still needs to staged correctly.
Due to infrequent use, the furniture and decorative items will usually be in reasonably great condition. Natural damage can happen from humidity and sunlight so check all the items in the room, looking for any damage that may have occurred. Musty spells often occur when a room is unused so make sure fabrics such as bedding and carpets are washed.
Often we tend to use second rooms as a storage room, where we shove old and useless ‘we-may-once-need-it’ things. In fact, all this room should contain is the basics, such as a bed, closet and bedside table. Also try not to remove the clothes from the master bedroom to the second room during staging. Potential buyers like to nosey the rooms and you don’t want that “Aaaha” effect when they find your hidden possessions moved from other rooms.
For future buyers to distinguish between the bedrooms you could try the following idea. You could make the spare bedroom look like a hotel room, with a small fridge in the closet and a telephone and notepad on the bedside table. This will accentuate the dissimilarity between the two rooms.
Begin by staging this room like the other bedrooms. Keep the colours on the walls and accessories light and make sure the space is thoroughly cleaned and aired. Problems in your staging will stick out to future visitors, so make sure all rooms in your home are up to the same excellent standard. If you aren’t sure whether you are able to stage the bedroom to the standard you desire, hiring a professional home stager would be the answer.
