How to Stage Your Bedroom for Maximum Buyer Appeal

Your bedroom is one of the areas in your property that must be staged before a house viewing, according to the National Association of Realtors' Home Staging Report. In this survey, 51% of the participating real estate brokers believe so. 

One key reason for this is that the bedroom is where people tend to sleep. Everyone wants a good resting place after a long hard day at work or simply a tiring day. That's why potential homebuyers wouldn't miss asking about bedrooms during a property viewing. 

Today's real estate market is very fierce. Every owner should rally their innermost motivational forces to one-up this competition. But, let's be honest. Situations like abrupt home viewing are really nail-biting! That's why we've listed here a chock-full of tricks and tips that you can easily follow when you have to stage your bedroom in a hurry. 

Put Away Excess Things in the Storage

Decluttering has always been the first step. The rule of thumb is to hoard two-thirds of your belongings while leaving the remaining one-third inside your house. The more things you can pare down and keep, the better your bedroom will look like. 

Extraneous knick-knacks, out-of-season clothing and accessories, and less useful big items (e.g., air-drying racks for clothes, mattresses, extra bed sheets, etc.) are few of the "excess" things that you want to keep in your storage during a home viewing. 

Spruce up!

Right after you finish organizing your things, don't forget to clean every corner of your room. Wipe, vacuum, and mop every furniture, wall, and flooring. Also, replace bedding on the bed. If you have withering plants, it's best not to show them at all.  

Opt for Fresh, Crisp Linens

In addition to replacing your dirty bedding, make sure to get clean, crisp linens. They always have this charisma that can bring comfort like nothing else. Say, if you're not in the position to get fresh ones, use the same beddings but try to modernize it. Opt for white beddings and pillow shams, then add a pop of color with some quirky throw pillows or blanket. 

Let There Be Light

Your bedroom shines as long as there's great lighting! Natural light coming through your windows would be loved by any potential buyer who is a plant-lover or eco-friendly. For those who are night owls, they'll still love your windows during the full moon or rainy days. Needless to say, try to introduce your dimmable light bulb (more of this later). 

Enlarge Your Space with Mirrors

Placing mirrors is an inexpensive way to turn dull walls to something chic and cozy, as well as doubling the size of your bedroom while consuming less visual space. How? Let us fill in those who don't know. Basically, mirrors reflect lights. When lights are spread across the room, it creates an illusion of a wider space. 

Recommend Sleeping Gadgets

Since we're trying to feature our bedroom, you can also try to recommend sleeping aids to your potential buyers. It seems like going for an extra mile, but there's always someone who appreciates extra efforts. Anyway, in business, establishing rapport with your customers plays a critical role in generating sales revenue.

Dimmable light Bulb 

Whether it's the blue lights coming out from any electronic gadgets or the LED lights in a room, any lights can keep you up. According to Dr. Lekkos, the founder of Bios Functional Machine, lower light levels promote sleep hormone. So place dimmable bedside lamps or light bulbs in your bedroom and try to feature how beneficial they are in one's sleep. 

Anti-snorting Mouthpiece 

Believe it or not, snoring can be a deal-breaker. It can disturb and result in sleep deprivation, which is, of course, detrimental to anyone's health. Recommending this anti-snoring mouthpiece can help. It can be quite weird or probably rude for others, so it's best to start sharing your stressful story caused you to snore at nights, and then eventually mention the product. 

The Regulating Sheet Set

This regulating sheet set is great for couples who are thermally incompatible. It utilizes Outlast fabric technology (yes, that one that's initially developed for NASA) that are made to solve the temperature fluctuations in outer space. This fabric draws in and stores your body's excess heat, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the night. 

Takeaway

Turning your bedroom into a sanctuary is your number one goal here. Make sure that the potential clients would feel homey. Of course, different people have different preferences, not to mention you can't always please people every single time. 

If you think things will get out of hand if you do the staging your way, enlist a professional stager then. It can cost you some bucks, but rest assured that everything will be smooth, more often than not, staged properties routinely sell faster than those that are non-staged.
