Making your home warm and inviting in the winter months is important, especially when your curb appeal is effected by the hibernating outdoor foliage. Here are some ways to stage your home in those cold winter months:
1. Take Down Holiday Decorations - Who wants to pull up and see a plastic Santa in February?
2. Keep Your House Warm - You might enjoy setting your thermostat to 65 in the winter months, but you want potential buyers to be warm and cozy while navigating through your house.
3. Clear Walkways - Clear walkways and stoops of any snow and ice. Not only does it look more appealing but you could be opening up yourself to a lawsuit should someone slip and become injured.
4. Light Up! - Turn on all the lights in the house especially since it gets dark so early.
5. Scent Up! - Since doors and windows are closed in winter months, make sure your house doesn't smell like last night's dinner. Light a few (nicely) scented candles for a subtle scent.
6. Background Music - Leave on softly playing classical music. It makes a home feel warm and inviting.
7. Let The Light Shine In - Clean windows and blinds so the light can shine through!
8. Fake a Fire - If you have a fireplace, put a votive candelabra in it and light up. It will give your fireplace a nice warm glow giving buyers a sense of coziness.
9. Cut The Clutter - Make sure hats, gloves, boots etc. are out of view.
10. Add Inside Greenery - Since the outdoors lack greenery, add plants and fresh flowers to inside areas.
