With research showing that staged homes generally sell faster and for more money than non-staged homes, it is well worth the effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-staging-is-effective\"><strong>Why staging is effective<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to McKirby there are key psychological reasons as to why staging is so effective:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First impressions<\/strong>: Buyers often make up their minds about a property within the first few minutes of seeing it. A well-staged home creates a positive first impression, setting the tone for the rest of the viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emotional connection<\/strong>: Staging helps buyers form an emotional connection with the property, imagining themselves living there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perceived value<\/strong>: Staged homes are perceived as well-maintained and move-in ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visualisation<\/strong>: Not all buyers can envision the potential of an empty or cluttered space and staging provides a visual reference, helping buyers to see how different spaces can be used and enhancing their ability to visualise living in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_0c7c2ca5\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12376\/d7174fd1fd204d80b751872bdf4edec1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ba80f9f64924a1baca57c9751744cb5.jpg\" title=\"Remove personal items, family photos, and excessive decorations when you want to sell your home.

This helps potential buyers envision their own belongings in the space.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\">Photo: Unsplash\/David Griffith<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong style=\"font-size:1.16em;\">Do\u2019s of home staging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McKirby shares some of the most important do\u2019s to guide homeowners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Declutter and depersonalise<\/strong>: Remove personal items, family photos, and excessive decorations. This helps potential buyers envision their own belongings in the space. Less clutter makes rooms appear larger and more inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clean thoroughly<\/strong>: A spotless home suggests that the property has been well-maintained. Pay attention to details, such as cleaning windows, carpets, and even the inside of appliances like ovens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Neutralise colour schemes<\/strong>: If you are going to give the place a fresh coat of paint, use neutral colours for walls and remove any d\u00e9cor that is too bold or quirky. Neutral tones have a broader appeal and create a blank canvas for buyers\u2019 imaginations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlight key features<\/strong>: Draw attention to the property\u2019s best features, such as a fireplace, large windows, or hardwood floors. Use furniture and d\u00e9cor to frame and highlight these elements even if it means moving around some items to better highlight these features<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Improve kerb appeal<\/strong>: The exterior of your home is the first thing buyers see. Ensure the lawn is mowed, hedges are trimmed, and the entrance is welcoming. Consider adding a fresh coat of paint to the front door and planting flowers or even placing attractive pot plants next to the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create a cohesive style<\/strong>: If you are going to bring in furniture or d\u00e9cor to fill up empty spaces and improve the overall effect or semi-furnish an empty property, choose a consistent style for furniture and d\u00e9cor that complements the home\u2019s architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Light it up<\/strong>: Ensure all rooms are well-lit. Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light and use lamps and light fixtures to brighten darker areas. Good lighting makes spaces feel larger and more inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-ts-of-home-staging\"><strong>Don\u2019ts of home staging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overdo it<\/strong>: Avoid excessive furniture and decorations as too much in an area will make spaces feel cramped and distract buyers from the home\u2019s features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ignore minor repairs<\/strong>: Small issues like leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or peeling paint can give the impression that the home is not well-maintained. Fix these minor problems to present a polished look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use strong scents<\/strong>: While it is important to ensure the home smells fresh, avoid overpowering scents from candles, air fresheners, or cleaning products. These can be off-putting to buyers, especially those with sensitive noses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leave pets out<\/strong>: Remove pets and their belongings during showings. Some buyers may have allergies or simply may not be pet lovers, and evidence of pets can be a deterrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ignore storage areas<\/strong>: Do not neglect closets, garages, and other storage spaces. Buyers will almost certainly look in these areas to assess storage capacity. Keep them organised and tidy to demonstrate ample storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Forget the outdoors<\/strong>: Stage patios, decks, and gardens to show their potential as living areas. Arrange furniture and add potted plants to create inviting outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 My Pressportal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When selling your home, first impressions are everything for potential buyers.

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms.
