When it comes to selling your home, staging is one of the most effective ways to attract buyers and increase your sale price. But not all staging is done well. A beautifully styled home can create excitement, while common staging mistakes can leave buyers feeling disconnected or hesitant to make an offer.
If you want to maximise your home’s appeal, avoid these common staging mistakes that could be turning buyers away.
One of the biggest staging mistakes is using furniture that does not suit the space.
Too big and the room feels cramped and overwhelming. Buyers will assume the space is too small.
Too small and the room looks empty and underwhelming, making it seem like it lacks purpose.
How to fix it
Choose furniture that suits the proportions of the room. In smaller spaces, opt for transparent or streamlined pieces like glass coffee tables to keep things feeling open. In larger rooms, use appropriately sized sofas, rugs and tables to create balance and make the space feel inviting.
