Though it may not be the first place potential buyers will check during a home tour, but what they feel about your bedroom has a major influence in their overall view of your house. The bedroom is also one of the most important rooms in any house, it is a sanctuary to retreat, relax, and recover; so anyone who is looking to buy a new one will surely have this in mind when they make their choice.
Here are budget staging tips to entice buyers with a gorgeous bedroom according to About Home:
Paint the walls to add color & light
When talking about budget staging, the first most effective tip is painting the walls with a fresh color. It is one of the easiest ways to completely update the look and feel of a room without breaking the bank. If your bedroom is in a bold color, consider painting it with a neutral or calming color like white beige, soft blue, and green. Also go for an eggshell finish to allow the walls to pick up more light and brighten up the room.
Limit the amount of furniture
Do not commit the common mistake of overfilling your bedroom with furniture in an attempt to make it appear larger and bigger. The main goal is to create plenty of walking space; get rid of furniture from the bedroom except for the bed, dresser, and bedside tables. If there is obviously no room for a proper sitting area, then don't risk bother to try to create one.
Create a focal point with the bed
One easy change yet often overlooked when staging a bedroom is the position of the bed. It is the room's focal point so it's important to position it properly. Make sure that you have enough walking space on both sides of the bed. Balance is important, so if your bedroom boasts a large window or French doors, position your bed directly opposite to that feature to help create balance. Or, if that's not possible, place it against the longest wall in the bedroom and display an eye-catching artwork above it to draw the eyes to your sleeping area.
Remove clutter to emphasize a larger room
Keep the floor clear and declutter your closet properly by removing things like television, gadgets, photographs, toys, and other personal items. A bedroom should feel like a relaxing and serene space and not a busy or entertaining area.
Use accessories to brighten your bedroom
Instead of religious or "personal" arts, go for abstracts or restful scenes when trying to accessorize your bedroom. Don't forget to incorporate a touch of greenery to make the bedroom feel alive by placing a live potted plant in your dresser or in a corner. Create visual interest by throwing in some colorful throw pillows on the bed and create a cozy ambiance by having a lamp floor, wall, or table.
