I firmly believe that one of most critical staging areas is the entry area. And the reason is pretty simple. I know that buyers make up their mind in the first 30 seconds upon entering a house. The rest of the time in the house is spent justifying their first emotional reaction.
Entry areas come in all shapes and forms. From the small closed off “hallway” to the magnificent and open with the grand stairway. No matter what you have to work with, this space has to look great. It can be done.
As a stager, I must make sure that an entry space makes that all important first impression. I ask questions that relate to the senses:
· Are all areas within sight of the entry visually appealing and is the room well and softly light?
· Is there a clean and fresh smell?
· Does the front door hardware have a nice feel and is the air temperature comfortable?
· Is there a relaxed, warm and peaceful feeling?
In summary, the entry area will set the tone for the rest of the home showing.
Dwell in possibilities!
