If your home is on the market during the holiday season, chances are you’re wondering how to stage your home for showings. There may not be a lot of buyers looking for homes in Austin, but it’s important to put your best foot forward and make sure your home looks its best!
These four holiday staging tips will help you have just the right amount of holiday cheer without going overboard.
Less Is More
Chances are you probably don’t want to get all of your Christmas decorations out with the anticipation of moving, and luckily you don’t have to! Some white outdoor lights and putting up the Christmas tree are fine, but putting out too many decorations may overwhelm potential buyers.
Decorate Seasonally
Decorate for the season as opposed to a specific holiday. Homes tend to sit on the market longer than normal this time of year, so make sure your listing photos are timeless. Instead of vibrant reds and greens, focus on winter details like pinecones, candles, and wreaths.
Highlight The Best Features
At the end of the day, you want buyers to be impressed by your home, not your decor. Adding a garland to your fireplace mantel or staging the dining room table with holiday decor will help draw attention to your home’s best features.
Add In Poinsettias and Garlands
Not only are poinsettias and garlands festive, but they are a way to add some color to your decor that isn’t overpowering to your buyers. Welcome buyers into your home with poinsettias at the front door or a garland on the stairs as a tasteful way to decorate without overdoing it.
At the end of the day, keep your decor simple and let your home do the talking. If you need any other holiday decoration ideas, please reach out to us! We would love to be a resource for you!
