4 Tips To Save Money When Staging Your Home To Sell

If you are thinking about staging your home to sell, you might feel as if you are making a good decision. After all, a home that is nicely staged can be sold a whole lot more quickly, and you may want to do what you can to sell your home as quickly as possible. However, one thing that might concern you is the amount that you may have to spend in order to stage your home to sell. Luckily, following these four tips can help you save money on home staging.

1. Do it Yourself

First of all, one quick way to save a significant amount of money on staging your home is doing it yourself instead of hiring a professional home stager. Even though a pro can certainly give great advice, chances are good that you can do it on your own. If you have any questions, you can always ask your real estate agent, and you can look online for staging ideas if you aren't sure of how to get started.

2. Hit the Discount Stores

Many of the discount stores out there actually sell surprisingly fresh and modern-looking items. If you are buying staging items that are only there for looks and that will not be used often (or at all), buying an affordable alternative at a discount store can be a good way to save money.  For example, buying towels for the bathroom, a couple of shower curtains and throw pillows and blankets from a discount store can allow you to freshen up the home and give it a few pops of color without spending what you might ordinarily spend on these items.

3. Buy Items for Your New Home

Are you thinking about buying new furniture and decor for your new home when you move in? If so, it's not a bad idea to purchase these new items now, use them to stage your existing home until it sells, then take them to your new residence afterward. Just make sure that you choose items that will look nice in both homes.

4. Try Renting

Have you ever thought about using a furniture rental service to rent furniture, lamps and more in order to stage your home? If not, it can be a good option to look into. Many rental companies will even include delivery and set-up, so you can minimize what you have to do yourself. You can also spend less on rental furniture than if you had to buy the staging items, and you don't have to worry about being stuck with stuff that you don't need.

As you can see, there are ways that you can save money on staging your home. Then, you can make your home look great for the sale, and you won't have to worry about spending too much money, either.
