10 Staging Tips to Make Your Louisville Home Sell this Spring

Give your home the spring freshness buyers are looking for.

By Mike Hall, Broker/Agent/Owner

Welcome future buyers with a spring-themed front porch.

Spring brings out more buyers who are hoping to use the mild weather and a fresh start to inspire their search for a dream home. Here are some tips from the experts on how to stage your home with spring in mind. 

1. Give your home the ol’ spring cleaning. The best way to present your home is with a fresh sparkle and shine.
2. Give the floors and walls a little boost. Buff out the worn areas of the floors and give the walls a fresh wash, and you’ll be amazed at what a difference it makes.
3. Bring in fresh, light colors. Put away the heavy blankets and swap them out for throws, pillows, candles, and other simple accessories in all of your favorite Easter basket hues.
4. Let the sun warm the room – and the buyer! Pull open your currents and blinds and let fresh sunlight fill the room.
5. Let spring scents accent each room. Use lightly scented candles or diffusers to create a subtle reminder of spring in the home.
6. Use simple botanical accents to give the home a fresh feel. A few framed flower prints, especially in greens and light yellows, can help the home feel peaceful and tranquil.
7. Clear the counters in the kitchen of all your useful appliances and tools, and replace them during showings with a bowl or plate of in-season fruits or veggies.
8. Spring-up the front door. Remove wreaths and invite buyers in with a cheerful welcome mat, flower planter, or spring-theme sign.
9. Remember the back door, too. Buyers are tired of fallen leaves and empty branches. Add a touch of spring to your back door with some flowering bulbs or succulents.
10. Consider investing in a landscaper who will keep the yard looking pristine throughout the spring and summer seasons.
