Home Selling Tips – Best Selling Tips for Laundry Room
Home Selling Tips 1 - Discard or store offsite anything that does not have to part of the laundry area. This should not be a dumping ground for unused items. Put detergent and other laundering supplies in cupboards or attractive canisters or baskets.
Home Selling Tips 2 - Easily brighten up the laundry area with a coat of paint and additional lighting. Even an unfinished basement looks better when the concrete floor is painted and there are no dark scary corners. If there is a window with a drab view, hide it with a curtain or a nice blind that is light enough to allow some light to pass through it.
Home Selling Tips 3 - Wipe down that washer and dryer from top to bottom. Push it back against the wall if needed. Tuck the hoses in while you are at it. Think neat and organized.
Home Selling Tips 4 - Canvas Bins and Baskets make a huge difference visually when used to store all those detergents. Buyers do not want to see all those bottles that look like clutter anyways. It looks so much more organized and fresh staged with these pretty bins or baskets.
Home Selling Tips 5 - Buyers should never see dirty clothes in piles, in a basket, anywhere. The same goes for clean laundry. It should not be sitting out on the counter or top of the dryer waiting to be put away or hanging around.
Home Selling Tips 6 - If there is a window with a drab view, hide it with a curtain or a nice blind that is light enough to allow some light to pass through it. Add a framed picture or a plant to make the area more attractive.
Home Selling Tips 7 - Pick a paint color that you are fond of, but would not normally appear in a main room – like a calming violet, or a cheerful pink. The laundry room can be a place to live out decor dreams.
Home Selling Tips 8 - Mount a flip laundry board to the wall, so you can easily tuck it away when it's not in use. Extra hanging bars installed in the laundry room also give you room to hang-dry items without having to lay them on the floor or counter.
Home Selling Tips 9 - If you have a bland, boring laundry room, here is a great idea to help even you create excitement within your room. You can redecorate your Laundry Room based on a theme. For example, if you dream of being on a nice sunny tropical beach, make that theme in your laundry room.
Home Selling Tips 10 - Pictures to give walls character – If painting is too much of a hassle, or if you have any free wall space, why not add a picture or two as part of your laundry room staging.

Home Staging Tips – Tips for the Basement
Home Staging Tips 1 - Clean the stairs to the basement. Sweep the floor. To reduce odors, try leaving the windows open for a day. Be sure to remove any unsightly critter or pest traps when buyers come to view your home. If the basement floor is concrete, then consider painting it gray to create a clean look.
Home Staging Tips 2 - In a finished basement, help buyers envision a use for the space by adding props such as craft table or workout equipment. Add accessories such as plants, art and lamps to give the space warmth.
Home Staging Tips 3 - To add a romantic flare, light a few light-bulb candles in the room and you will have yourself a dinner for two, restaurant feel that will delight buyers.
Home Staging Tips 4 - Add lamps if the basement still appears dark. You can also brighten the space by painting the walls white, especially if the basement in unfinished. If you have paneled walls, then sand and paint them.
Home Staging Tips 5 - Repair issues, such as cracks, water damage or mold, could hinder the sale. Also, staging your unfinished or finished basement could add perceived living space, making your home seem larger.
Home Staging Tips 6 - Remove anything that is not essential and put it in a storage facility or get rid of it. If you must keep some items stored in the basement, then try to reduce the number of boxes by consolidating contents into fewer, larger boxes. This is also a good time to remove hazards and junk, such as solvents and lumber scraps.
Home Staging Tips 7 - Whether your basement is finished or unfinished you can delineate areas based on where different activities occur. For example, you could set up a kids play area, a sitting area, a hobby area and/or a workshop.
Home Staging Tips 8 - Try and choose flooring that is on par with the other flooring in the home. Carpeting in basement is always a plus. Choose a light color that will brighten the space.
Home Staging Tips 9 - If possible, add a green plant to the space. Treat the basement room just as any other room in the home and plants are always lending a good feeling to spaces.
