Although a bathroom is typically a smaller room in the home,
it can still be a major selling point for the house. If you are considering
selling your home at the Lake of the Ozarks, staging can allow
potential buyers to see the best aspects of the house. Showcasing your space
for buyers on the market is a major benefit of staging your home. Your
experienced real estate agent at the Lake of the Ozarks has provided tips to
help you better stage your bathroom, when selling your home.
1) Fresh Coat of Paint
While this may not be necessary, many times a new coat of
paint can freshen up a space, especially a bathroom. If you do invest in paint,
it is recommended to use a neutral color that will appeal to a wider range of
potential buyers whom may be looking to purchase your home.
2) Incorporate Luxury Towels
To help create a spa-like environment, consider adding high quality
towels to your bathroom. Nice towels can make a space feel luxurious. You can
hang the towels from your towel rack, as well as roll towels in a
basket or on a shelf for a simple, yet eye catching display.
3) Upgrade Fixtures
If your fixture finishes do not match, ensure they
are all the same finish. If you have a gold fixtures in your bathroom, consider
upgrading to a nickel, brushed nickel, or bronze tone. Simply replacing outdated fixtures can bring the entire room up-to-date.
4) Create a Relaxing Display
A large jar or bowel can be used to display relaxing
bathroom pieces. Sponges, bath bombs, and soaps are nice items to display. This
helps add to the spa-feel of the bathroom, along with luxurious towels.
5) Add Light a Light Scent
A bathroom is usually fairly small, especially when it comes
to incorporating a scent. Keep in mind that not every potential buyer will fond
of a certain scent you select. Try to keep scents light in the bathroom. Also
consider opening a bathroom window, if it is nice outside, allowing a nice
breeze to enter.
6) Look at the Mirror
Changing out the mirror in a bathroom can give the space a
whole new look and feel. Consider adding two smaller mirrors, side by side, for
an updated look.
7) Remove Unsightly Items
When potential buyers are in your bathroom, ensure unsightly
items are out of view. Remove any cleaning products, the plunger, and trashcan
for an uncluttered room. Consider removing a scale as well, to increase floor
space.
8) Showcase Storage Options
Many potential buyers will think about storage when looking
to purchase a home. Whether you have shelving or a large vanity, show off the
available storage space in your bathroom. Also keep in mind that buyers will be
looking in those storage spaces, so keep it organized!
9) Clean, Clean, Clean!
Nothing is more unsightly than a dirty bathroom! Ensure your
bathroom is sparkling when you have a showing. Incorporate cleaning the
bathroom into your daily routine to keep up with it. This can help alleviate any
panic that may set in as you get a call for a last-minute showing.
Now that you have some bathroom staging tips under your
belt, you are ready to take action and prepare your house for a showing. Once a
homeowner decides to sell their home, they usually want to sell it fast.
Staging can help boost the chances for a fast home sale because it shines the
best light on the home possible. A bathroom is used a number of times throughout
each day, creating a clean and relaxing space can help attract attention from
potential buyers. Give me a call at (573) 280-0484, if you are ready to put these
bathroom staging efforts to use and sell your house at the Lake of the Ozarks!
