Staging a spare bedroom should possibly be the simplest task while preparing your property for selling. Like every room in your property, this one still needs to staged perfectly.
The spare bedroom is possibly only used some days of the year, so there is a good chance that furniture and other items won’t be worn out. Natural damage can occur from humidity and sunlight so inspect all the items in the room, looking for any damage that may have manifested. Concentrate on bed sheets, carpets, drapes and awful stenches.
Sometimes we tend to use spare rooms as a storage room, where we store old and useless ‘we-may-once-need-it’ things. The room should not be exploited for this function and kept simple with a bed, bedside table and wardrobe. Another thing to be aware off, is don’t employ this room as an overflow for clothing that you took from the main bedroom when you staged one. You will soon be caught out by guests who will delve through your rooms when they are viewing your property.
You can try a little experiment which will precisely categorize guest rooms from bedrooms. You could make the guest bedroom look like a hotel room, with a little fridge in the wardrobe and a telephone and notepad on the bedside table. By doing this visitors will see the room as a spare room for guest use and not main use.
Staging this room is roughly the same as staging any bedroom in your property. Make sure the room is aired and spotless and that the decorations are not overly bright and ‘in your face’. Even though you are concentrating all your efforts to the rest of the home, make sure that you look at each room seriously and correct any problems as these will stand out to any buyers. If you aren’t sure whether you are able to stage the bedroom to the standard you desire, hiring a professional home stager would be the answer.
