The Benefits of Staging are Undeniable
Staging your home can be a clever thing to do when selling your property. By strategically staging your property, you will capture the attention of potential homebuyers and leave a lasting impression.
In this blog post from the team at Properly, we will explore the many benefits of staging your home and reveal how it can increase the appeal and marketability of your property.
Let’s delve into the benefits that staging has to offer.
Creating a Visual Story
Effective staging allows you to create a visual narrative for potential homebuyers. By carefully arranging furniture, décor, and accessories, you can highlight the unique features of your home and create a sense of warmth and comfort. The goal is to help motivated buyers envision themselves living in the space, and help them build an emotional connection with your property.
When staging your home, it’s important to consider the layout and flow of each room. Arrange furniture in a way that maximises space and creates a natural flow. Use focal points such as a well-placed rug to draw attention to key areas. Make sure to pay attention to the lighting, as it can have a massive impact on the ambience of a room.
Maximising Space and Functionality
When staging your property, always aim to optimise the use and functionality of a space to show it off to it’s maximum potential. By decluttering and organising each room, you can create an open, inviting atmosphere that appeals to potential homebuyers. Rearranging furniture and removing personal items will create a sense of spaciousness, making your home feel larger and more desirable.
In the living areas, consider removing bulky or unnecessary furniture to create a more modern open feel. Clear out cluttered surfaces and organise shelves in a way that showcases the potential for storage. Pay attention to the functionality of each room by highlighting specific features. For example, in a home office, stage it with a desk, chair, and organised workspace to demonstrate its purpose.
Enhancing Kerb Appeal
First impressions matter, and staging the outside of your home will significantly impact potential buyers’ perceptions in a positive manner. Boosting kerb appeal involves enhancing the overall appearance of your property, from the outside right up to the front door. Simple and easily improvements like fresh paint, a well-maintained front lawn, and a welcoming entrance will entice potential buyers even before they enter.
To ensure that the exterior of your home is really looking its best, consider jet washing the driveway, cleaning all the windows and repairing any visible damage.
Differentiating Your Property
In a competitive market, staging can set your home apart from the rest of the properties for sale in London. It’s important to consider your home’s unique features and how you can showcase them. For example, if you have a beautiful original fireplace, stage the living area to draw attention to it.
Highlight architectural details such as crown molding or exposed beams, showcase the potential for outdoor living by placing comfortable garden furniture in the patio or garden area. Ultimately your job is to make your property memorable to potential buyers by highlighting and emphasising any standout features in the property.

London Youth work to improve the lives of young people in London, challenging them to become the best they can, and last year helped over 27,000 young people through their sports development, youth action and involvement, arts and outdoor education programmes and employment prospects. We feel strongly that all young people should have an opportunity to develop themselves, and so are delighted to be able to support London Youth in their work, providing young people with access to opportunities they might not otherwise have had, to learn new skills, to make a positive change in their communities and to shape the city they live in.
Glass Door helps homeless men and women in London through their large network of emergency shelters and support services. These winter shelters provide a warm welcome, food, safety and shelter for up to 170 people every night. Properly feels passionately about the issue of homelessness. That is why we are delighted that together with our clients we can assist Glass Door in their fantastic work to help some of the most marginalised people in society.
Families become homeless for reasons we can all identify with. We are concerned about people who are struggling to keep things together in our fast-paced world – and we care about those who have no support. We chose the Doorstep Homeless Family Project because they are passionate and effective yet they are a small team with limited funding. They provide homeless families, living in temporary accommodation in London, with access to services to secure the emotional and practical support they require to enjoy a better quality of life.
We need nature and nature needs us. We support The London Wildlife Trust because we share its concern for the environment. We want to ensure that we keep nature in mind as we work in the property market – and crucially, with people’s homes. We also want our employees to engage with nature and benefit from the wellbeing this brings. London Wildlife Trust cares for over 37 of London’s spaces, and their vision is: “a London alive with nature, where everyone can experience and enjoy wildlife”.
We did not feel rushed at all which was great as it really allowed us to really take the property in. We did put down an offer and Properly did a great job in securing a good outcome for both the sellers and ourselves.If you are looking for an agency that will do more than just open the door then look no further.
Amazing people, responsive, honest, friendly and professional. Cannot fault them and the type of company, you will go back to again and again.
I was so pleased to be introduced to Properly. Mariel and Michael provide an excellent service that took the stress and hassle out of finding a tenant. They were a pleasure to deal with, efficient and fast. A marked difference from the hidden costs and poor communication often encountered from other high street estate agents. I would thoroughly recommend and happily use again!
Mariel and Michael made the process of agreeing a housing let incredibly seamless, stress-free and quick. Their timely communication and fantastic ‘customer service’ was second to none. Would highly recommend
Mariel and Michael have been absolutely great, by far my best ever experience with an estate agent. Properly is honest, upfront and friendly, responding really quickly to any and all queries and with a lovely personal touch.
We had such an easy and stress free move. Michael helped us with all our questions and was quick to find out any answers to our questions. Would highly recommend.
The level of customer service I received at Properly with Mariel and her team was frankly outstanding. It’s lovely when people genuinely care and go the extra mile which certainly they did. I couldn’t recommend them more highly, the most pleasurable property experience ever for me.
Had Michael round for a valuation of our flat – very knowledgeable and friendly and wasn’t pushy at all. When it comes time to sell we’ll definitely be giving Properly a call!
