Home Staging Tip- Removing Area Rugs on Hardwoods

When preparing your home for sale to be viewed by potential buyers it is important to highlight the homes best features.  Homes staging is not about redecorating it is about "merchandising" you home.

One great tip that doesn't cost any money is to consider removing area rugs that are covering the hard wood floors.  Buyers love hardwoods and they can be a major selling point. Don't hide those hardwoods!!  Not only does removing the rug highlight the hardwoods it can also visually open up the space, especially if the rug has a pattern to it or if it is darker than the hardwoods it is covering.  You can literally make the room look larger just by removing an area rug. 

In many cases if the hardwoods aren't perfect, I would rather see the hardwoods than an area rug.  

Keep coming back for simple home staging tips.
