Choosing the Right Furniture
Rental furniture for staging purposes can make all the difference. While that is true, you want to keep in mind that you are not decorating your home for you when selecting your rental furniture. There are a few guidelines you want to make sure you follow when selecting rental furniture so it has the intended result.
Keep it neutral.
The purpose of staging furniture is to show the function of the room. Not to highlight or show off the furniture and accessories in the room. You do not want the furniture to distract from what the potential buyers are actually there to see. The structure of your home. Therefore, it is best that all your rental furniture be basic and neutral in coloring. This ensures that buyers are still able to visualize themselves living in your home, while not being distracted by odd or colorful furniture.
Maintain style.
In order to highlight your home further, you will want the furniture to match the structure and build of your home. Whether that be modern, rustic, or contemporary, rental furniture companies will have it all. Many furniture rental companies will even already have packages created for each style of furniture. This makes life much easier for you. Simply select a package and then decorate your room.
Less is more in the bedrooms.
Bedrooms are extremely personal areas, and people enjoy making those places reflect them. Therefore, people do not want to see an abundance of furniture or personal touches in the bedrooms. It makes it harder for them to see themselves living there if it looks like someone else is already living there. The master bedroom is truly the only bedroom that needs staging furniture, and it does not need to have all the furniture that would be needed to live there.
Call attention to outside gathering spaces.
The backyard, or any outdoor living space, is often forgotten or neglected. This could be your biggest mistake. Outdoor gathering spaces can sell a home. Many people are drawn to a nice space outside to relax and be with their family. Using rental patio/outdoor furniture will show potential buyers that you have an outdoor space that can easily be converted to a social space.
