Color is a powerful component in home staging and home decorating or home redesigning. The purpose of home staging is to attract as many buyers as possible and that can be achieved by leveraging color as an asset.

But every person has a different perception of color. Others might love beige colored tones but others might simply ignore it. Here at Home Staging Pueblo Colorado, we know how to neutralize a home’s color palette. Once we have determined the color that will give a neutral view of the house, the next step that we will do is to accent it with other colors so that it provides character to it but not in a sense that it steals the focus on the home itself.
Below are the colors that should be avoided when staging a home.
 
Pink
Some of us love this color. But this color is much more leaning on the feminine side. Remember that here at Home Staging Pueblo Colorado, it is our job to make your home appealing and attractive to home buyers, regardless of what their gender is. While we do not dispute that this color is a wonderful color to be used for decorating or designing a home, it can also alienate potential buyers who can’t jive or they are simply distracted by it.
 
Purple
Like pink, this color also contemplates a feministic tone to some home buyers. But with the right decor that will be used to stage a home, its perception can be swung into a masculine direction. Once again, home stagers should be using neutral colors when staging a home so that we can catch buyer’s attention as much as possible.
 
Red
Undeniably, this is a powerful color to use in home staging. But other home buyers may be overwhelmed by it because it attracts so much attention. It is such an eye-catching color that it can possibly distract buyers from focusing on where they should be looking at… your home itself. Our home stagers will always look for the perfect color to be used to stage your home without detracting from it. If a home has this color already present and cannot be removed or replaced, then putting some red colored contemporary accessories should be okay just to accent it.
 
Neon shades
While this color portrays energy, this color is a turn-off to most buyers. This is because most home buyers are usually looking for a relaxing ambiance in a home rather than an energetic one.
 
Pastel colors
For home stagers, light colors will always be a fine choice. But colors that are too soft can only be appealing to specific buyers. Again, you would want the staged home to be appealing to home buyers and for them to compliment it without drawing so much attention to other things that buyers struggle to see the entire home itself.

A bathroom is an essential part of any home. But typical home buyers will simply peep or see a glimpse of it. So, first impressions on this part of the house is really important to get the attention of a potential buyer and possibly make it as a selling point.

We have some tips on how to stage your bathroom and we included some easy ones even if your home is not on the market.
 

• Keep it squeaky clean. In other words, clean the whole bathroom itself until all traces of dirt, mold, hair, and soap scum are removed. Take away rugs and toilet seat cover to give your bathroom a neutral look.
• Store personal items. Buyers usually do not want to see your combs, toothbrush, hair dryers and toiletries on the counter. Keep them out of sight as much as possible.
• Put some accessories that are commonly used in a spa. Scented candles, decorative soaps and a beautiful plant (we prefer orchids) can make an impact on the way your bathroom looks. But avoid using heavy deodorizers.
• Replace old bathroom fixtures with new and modern ones. This will give your bathroom an instant facelift with minimal effort and cost versus doing a complete renovation. Go to your local home improvement store and look for inexpensive hardware like faucets, shower heads, towel and toilet paper bars and lights.
• Add some lavish looking towels that jives with the rest of the bathroom’s color scheme. This will give your bathroom a “hotel” or “spa” like look. In addition, we recommend rolling up a few white hand towels on the counter or next to the tub.
• Keep bathroom cleaners like counter wipes, glass cleaner and paper wipes handy in your bathroom for quick cleanups. This is helpful specially for those surprise visits from potential buyers.

One of the things that home buyers will look for on a house is its space. The spacious it is, the more attractive it is for them. This seems to worry some homeowners that have their homes up on the market but do have small bedrooms because they think that it won’t impress buyers.

Remember that any bedroom can be appealing to buyers, regardless of how big or small it is. It all lies on how you maximize the space of the property with home staging techniques to show its potential. Below are some tips on how to stage a small bedroom to look big.

First step is to declutter. Put away the things that are not needed to be on the surface. These usually are decorations and jewelry. It may look nice in your eyes that you have decors on your dresser and end tables. But we recommend removing it while your house is still on the market for sale or rent so that there is less visual clutter. Removing objects that consumes much space like an armchair or vanity will help a lot to clear up visual space

Light. It always makes the space feel larger. If your bedroom has windows, make sure that natural light can pass through it as much as possible and keep them like and airy. If a bedroom cannot get natural light, make sure that there is plenty of sufficient artificial light to each corner to brighten it.

Use mirrors and reflective surfaces. These things bounce light to trick you thinking that there is more space than there actually is. You may use reflective and shiny surfaces like metallic decor to bounce light and open up the bedroom space.

Consider using a small bed and lightweight furniture. Huge bed in small bedrooms consumes a lot of space. We can make the small bedroom look bigger by considering to swap your big bed into a smaller one. To give you an idea, a single king or queen bed might give the impression that the bedroom is small while a full or twin bed makes it look balanced and comfortable.

Use light and bright beddings because dark beddings will absorb light thus making the bedroom look smaller. Make it look comfortable and luxurious by simply using a few pillows. This makes the bedding more spacious. Also use a comforter with a streamlined cut because the big and fluffy ones will make the bed look wider, hence making the bedroom look smaller
