Here are some tips to help you along the way:
Keep it classic
It may be family tradition to “deck the halls” across every square inch of your house, but, if you are trying to sell your home, it may be better to scale back. When selling a home, it’s important to present it in a way that others can see themselves living in. For this reason, you should focus on seasonal décor rather than, say, religious decorations.Use the holidays to create warmth in your home. I think lights and color can warm anyone’s heart. With the right touch, holiday decorations can create an emotional attraction for a buyer to your home. A cold, undecorated home can’t compete with one that has the fireplace roaring, the smell of fresh baked cookies, and elegant, yet festive décor.
Keep it tidy
Of course, there’s always the risk of things looking untidy. However you decorate, don’t distract prospective buyers from the space. Holiday decorations can cause clutter, which could potentially make a room or space look smaller. Some tips to help you stay tidy:- Hide unsightly wires.
- Stay away from decorations covered in glitter.
- Decorate with intention; try to create a mood.
Keep it in season
One area where you likely won’t want to display holiday decorations: your listing photos. Holiday decorations can unintentionally date a photo, especially if the house is still on the market after New Year’s passes.Keep it safe
Holiday candles may leave a home smelling and looking beautiful, but, don’t forget, they can also be extremely dangerous. December is the peak time of the year for fires caused by candles. So, instead of using candles to add holiday cheer, consider getting flameless alternatives and using lightly scented sprays as safer alternatives.Contact me today for a Free Home Value Report or Staging Advice.
