Staging Tips For A
Great First Impression
Part VI
Make a Welcoming Entrance
The outside of your home is the first thing guests see and speaks
volumes about what's inside — and about its owner. A welcoming entry
helps set the tone for the rest of the house.
Paint the front door with a quart of glossy paint in a bold, cheerful color.
Purchase new hardware (or use a little elbow grease to clean and polish
the existing knocker, lockset, porch light, house numbers and mailbox),
A seagrass mat, and a trio of seasonal potted plants on the landing to
dramatically brighten and refresh your home's entry and make visitors
feel welcome. This small investment pays personal dividends, too, giving
you an emotional boost and a dose of house-pride with each homecoming.
Flowers for instant curb appeal
Curb appeal is an important aspect to consider when selling your home.
Appearance from the street very often determines whether potential buyers
come in to see the inside, or never get out of their cars.
Flowers are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to make the
front of a house look inviting. Flowers can transform a rather drab and
dreary looking front yard into one that looks colorful and lush. During
spring and summer, take advantage of the season by planting pots and
flower boxes.
