Staging Your Home to Sell? Make your rooms more gender-neutral!
Staging Your Home to Sell? Make your rooms more gender-neutral! If you want to appeal to more potential buyers, you don’t want to appear too feminine. Here are some tips to make your rooms more “man-friendly!”
Rich wood and masculine colors in this corner home office
- Use plain, neutral-colored fabrics. Minimize patterns and florals that appeal more to women. Use natural, woodsy, or basic colors. Cover your furniture with slip covers to save money.
- Get rid of the frills in the room. No lace or filmy curtains. Pack up the cute, ruffly or fancy throw pillows. Take down the wall art that isn’t neutral.
- Create simple lines and more open space. Don’t crowd furniture into your rooms. Less is more when it comes to home staging – or home decorating for that matter!
- Get rid of the clutter and collections. All that cute, collectible stuff sitting around may mean something to you, but potential buyers will either be distracted by it or they will be overwhelmed by it!
As I always say, “when staging your home, simple is better!” Start your packing and clear out the rooms. A little furniture and even less personal stuff in the home is better for getting your home sold!
