It does not necessarily need huge budget to stage. As a matter of fact, low-cost staging in the process of renovation can be equally effective in developing warm and pleasant interiors that would appeal to potential buyers or residents. It is important to appeal to the maximum effect with minimum cost and then apply ingenuity and imagination to make the home attractive.
Decluttering is one of the most cost-effective and simplest ways. Clean walls, neat wardrobes and few ornamentation instantly make the spaces look bigger and more open. Another upgrade that is not costly and that transforms interiors is a fresh coat of a neutral paint which is a clean, modern backdrop on which to stage.
Re-arranging the already existing furniture can also be a significant one. Perhaps the most important thing is to put things in strategic places to bring out flow and functionality at no cost, other than time. By simply including low cost details like throw pillows, area rugs or curtains one can update rooms without exceeding the budget. Another staging tool that is inexpensive is plants, both natural and artificial, which add life and color to an interior.
The other cost-effective staging element is lighting. Replacing old bulbs with brighter and more energy-saving bulbs, or placing cheap floor and table lamps immediately improves the atmosphere. Even minor ones, like well folded towels in the bathroom or a bowl of fruit in the kitchen are polished but do not require a big investment.
Home made solutions are also extended. Older furniture can be spruced up by painting, gallery walls can be painted using cheap prints, or storage baskets may be used again to upgrade interiors.
Conclusion: The fact that style does not always have to be expensive to be effective in the staging of a building is proven by the fact that the staging of the renovation was not an expensive task. Decluttering, clever reorganizing and lowly accents enable renovators to make homes appear new, workable and attractive at minimal cost.
