Are you hoping to sell your Rancho Mirage real estate to the highest possible bidder? Whether you’re selling luxury properties such as equestrian homes, a ranch or beach condos, properly staging the property will highlight its strengths and downplay its weaknesses so that you can appeal to the widest pool of buyers.
Create groupings. To make rooms look as large and user-friendly as possible, float furnishings away from the walls and arrange them in small conversational-style groupings. This actually opens up the appearance of each room more than positioning furniture against the walls.
Make a statement. If you have a room that needs work or lacks purpose, add value by repurposing it or adding a standout design feature. Be creative and think outside the box—you can transform a boring guest room into a reading nook with a plush chair, a sumptuous rug and statement lighting. With larger properties like equestrian homes, you have a lot of area to work with and accessorize—consider vintage lighting concepts or unique window treatments to add stylish flair to your property.
Employ lighting. If you’ve ever visited a home that was staged well, it probably felt warm and inviting. An easy way to create that kind of atmosphere is with good lighting schemes. Two key ways to do this is 1) Play with the wattage in both your interior and exterior lamps and fixtures, and 2) Strive to blend three types of lighting: ambient, task and accent.
Create illusions of space. To make a section of your house appear larger, paint two adjacent rooms the same color. To take the illusion even further, match your curtains to the paint. Using staging tips like these will improve the appearance of your luxury home, equestrian ranch or any other type of property you’re putting on the market. As a result, you will increase your pool of prospective buyers.
