Stage Now - Cathy Lee's Blog

Living and family rooms matter!

When preparing your home for sale, these are among the first rooms prospective buyers and guests see after entering through the front door. 

The furnishings should be beautiful as well as practical and be arranged in a way to facilitate movement to other rooms.

Dont' crowd furniture or accessories to allow buyers to visualize their own belongings in the home. 

Large artwork and mirrors create contrasts and make a striking background in the room.

If the room has new or refinished wood floors, expose them for all to see!

C.L. Design Services Home Staging prepared this lovely Walnut Creek home for sale last week.

A very motivated, cooperative family stored all the designated furnishings before we arrived on staging day and here are the results!

These additional professional tips will ensure a beautiful bathroom when you are preparing your home for sale:

Make cleaning convenient. If it is easy, it will stay organized. Stash a complete set of cleaning products in each bathroom under the sink.

The great divide: Use expandable drawer dividers that organize items of any size.

Look for hidden storage space: The back of the door is a perfect spot for a fabric shoe bag for the hair dryer or curling irons.

Waste Not: Make the most of every inch. Stack woven baskets under a pedastal sink or inside a cabinet.
