The 12 Best Staging Items to Sell Your Home

Is staging your home to attract more buyers worth the expense? When the average staged home returns over a 28% return on investment it is hard to argue with the benefit of Home Staging.

Appearances matter! Especially when it comes to selling your home.

I would say we stage almost 90% of the new listings we service. It has become such a big part of our business that I kid only halfheartedly that we are not a real estate company but a lifestyle company. Many of our customers are stuck! They are not quite sure what to pitch, what to keep and what to decorate.

That is where we come in.

Here are the 12 most popular staging items used almost universally throughout every home we stage.

1. The Basic White Shower Curtain

2. Basic White Fluffy Towels for the Bath and Powder Room

3. Regular Incandescent Light Bulbs ( no energy efficient light bulbs )

4. Buffet lamps for every credenza of your home

5. New Color Neutral Accent Pillows

6. Cream or Gray 8 x 10 Area Rug

7. Beautiful Mirrors

8. Neutral Window Panels

9. Sink runner for the Kitchen

10. Big Potted Plants outside the Front Door

11. Big Potted Plants for the Patio

12. Stunning Center Piece for the Dining Room
