When staging a home for sale, it’s our main goal to accentuate the positive – architecture, paint, space, style of the home, etc. While on a recent out-of-state model home tour, I noticed a few things:

Themed homes need to be appropriate to the area. If you live in a desert, a nautical theme may not be appealing to all perspective buyers. (Perhaps one room, but not every room. There is a difference).

Air fresheners and potpourri can be overdone. Even though they may be in the scents of the season, they do not appeal to every nose. It’s important to be respectful and mindful of those with allergies. Less is more.

Four set dining tables in one house, is TOO many!

No ifs, ands or excuses – it’s just TOO many! Typically, a formal dining room table are very nice piece of furniture. Consider a single centerpiece in place of full place settings. (I know it’s not as much fun, but it’s all about the house, right?)
