Preparing Your Home for Sale: A Guide to Property Styling

Styled to sell with The StyleLab Property Styling

Selling a home can be a daunting task, but with the right preparation and styling, you can significantly increase its appeal to potential buyers. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get your home ready for sale:

DECLUTTER AND DEPERSONALISE

Before any styling can begin, it’s crucial to declutter your home. Remove personal items such as family photos and memorabilia to not only create a clean and spacious environment but also allow potential buyers to envision themselves living in the space.  Clearing out clutter not only makes rooms appear larger but also creates a clean canvas for styling.

CLEAN AND REPAIR

A thorough cleaning is essential to make your home shine. Pay attention to details like windows, floors, carpets, and kitchen appliances. Consider hiring professional cleaners for a deep clean if needed. Additionally, take care of any minor repairs such as leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or chipped paint. A well-maintained home gives the impression that it has been cared for, which can be a big selling point.

DEFINE FUNCTIONAL SPACES

Buyers love homes that are functional and well-organised. Define the purpose of each room clearly and arrange furniture in a way that highlights the room's purpose, whether it's a cozy reading nook in the corner of a bedroom or a dining area that encourages gatherings. This helps buyers see the potential of each space and how it could fit their lifestyle.

NEUTRALISE AND PAINT

Neutral colours on walls create a blank canvas that appeals to a wider range of tastes. Consider repainting bold or personalised walls with neutral tones like whites, greys, or soft beiges. This can make rooms feel larger and more inviting.
