Consumption and Real Estate
My parents want me to stage their house for sale. Tight budget?
Question : My parents want me to stage their house for sale. Tight budget?
I have a really (emphasis on really) tight budget.
The project won’t be starting for about two months.
I absolutely love stuff like this:
http://www.allworldfurniture.com/product_details.php?itemid=257
So if you can tell me some sites/stores that have modern/zen furniture for C.H.E.A.P. It’d be beyond appreciated.
P.S. The budget has yet to be set, however I have to stage the entire house, plus fix the flooring and tile the fireplace, so furniture can’t be ridiculously expensive.
Thanks to all who answer! + 10 points to whomever comes up with the best site.
*Ahem* I went to school for staging.
But their isnt a staging warehouse in this town. So we have to buy.

If you can’t afford to really stage it, then de-clutter. Move extra stuff into a storage locker and make the place look neat. Don’t have pets at home, or their dishes or litterboxes around at all. You can call a furniture store in your area and ask them who does staging. They would know. Have some flowers out on a table when people come. Paint and fixing the flooring and tile would be the best money spent.

If you have a craigslist that is active in your area, USE IT! I moved from a 1700 sq. foot home in one town, to a 3600 sq ft home about 400 miles away meaning I left a lot behind. Craigslist was a lifesaver for filling this beast! Check it out & everything is negotiable! Well, ALMOST everything. Good Luck!

Work with what you have. De clutter, look at second hand stores, see if you have any friends or family that can lend you any usable furniture for a bit. Go to the stores where you would buy furniture and ask them if you can borrow instead of buy and work out a price or see if you can buy but check out their return policies. When your done hopfully you can return things.

I too think you should work with what you have. Take everything that is personal out of the house.Make sure closets are almost empty. Show every sq foot of the house as being usable.Paint each room a neutral color and ad nice window treatments. Use the furniture you have. Paint it black and ad some new hardware for a modern look. Just remember that just because you like the mod style,doesn’t mean everyone will.So try to stay in the middle.You may have an 80 year old couple look at the house. Keep it clean and simple with a touch of style.Burn candles or put a fresh pot of cider on the stove with cinnamon sticks and simmer.Remember the 3 senses,sight,touch,smell. If it looks good,feels good and smells good,someone will like it.
