Minimal furniture and light bedding and art makes bedrooms feel bright and spacious.

This month, Simply Staged celebrates it’s 15 year anniversary!!!  Since June 2004, we’ve consulted and/or staged over 3,300 homes.  Thank you to all of our wonderful clients for trusting us with your business!

When staging your home, it’s important for furniture to be proportionally scaled to the room. Remove extra pieces of furniture and replace oversized pieces with smaller scale furniture.

Painting the walls and replacing old furniture with rental furniture completely transformed this living room!

You’ve heard the saying the kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. They are also the most expensive to update.  If you don’t have a lot of money to do a bathroom update, here are some inexpensive updates.

Removing wallpaper and painting are minimal costs if you do it yourself. In this bathroom, we found the countertop for only $80 and light for only $12 at MN Home Outlet. A simple framed mirror can be as little as $30. Even with the backsplash, faucet and towel hooks, the total can be as low as $300.

This flip would not be the same without the rental furniture to define the space!

If you have carpet over wood floors, make sure to remove it before selling.  You may have to refinish the floors if they are not in great condition, but often they are fine, like these were:
