A few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/12\/holiday-decor-festive-tacky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">holiday-inspired pieces<\/a> will stand out (and bring out that warmth we keep talking about!).\n\nCreate DIY winter centerpieces for tables by placing pinecones, candles, or ornaments in a glass bowl. It will add a holiday vibe without being overwhelmingly Christmas-themed. Or, try adding red table runners or accent pillows around the home. Adding a pop of color makes the best parts of the house stand out and makes the home feel cozy to possible buyers!\n<h3>3. Plants<\/h3>\nWith home staging, adding plants is a quick and easy way to bring freshness to a home. The liveliness that plants give off <i>stems<\/i> (wink, wink) throughout the house.To keep in tune with the holiday spirit, add poinsettias for a warm touch of color. Not only are poinsettias beautiful, their shade creates a deep romantic ambiance to the home. Perfect for a newly betrothed couple!\n\nOr, to attract family-oriented buyers, Christmas trees can fill out a large living room and let possible buyers picture their holidays surrounded by loved ones. Even for those who don\u2019t celebrate Christmas, a full evergreen is a great touch of winter d\u00e9cor in a home!\n\nAdding wreaths is another simple way to bring life to home staging during the holiday season. Wreaths symbolize continuity through the evergreens they\u2019re made from, which can add a whole new element to the home. Place a full-bodied wreath on the front door to give potential buyers an instant feeling of warmth when they come to view the home.\n<h3>4.

They\u2019ll feel all warm and fuzzy from sipping on hot apple cider or indulging in a creamy hot chocolate! And a small sweet treat, whether it be homemade cookies or mint candies, will make buyers appreciate the extra effort you put into making their experience enjoyable. Besides, the holiday smells alone will entice viewers and make that house feel like a home!\n<h3>5. Holiday Scents<\/h3>\nPlug in a holiday-inspired air freshener or use essential oils to spread spiced scents throughout the home. Cinnamon and vanilla essential oils smell intoxicating and instantly warm a room. A favorite technique around Christmastime? Simmer apple cider on the stove with cloves, oranges, and cinnamon sticks. Simply the BEST way to add a holiday touch!\n\nCandles are another great way to add warmth and light in the home. Create a holiday atmosphere with tall candle holders on the mantle or dining room table. Scented candles immerse a room in their aroma, so light some up before viewings.\n\n<b><i>Design Tip:<\/i><\/b> Stay away from items that make the home feel smoky or foggy. Incense can easily overtake a home and make the air feel heavy. As well, don\u2019t blow out candle flames since this can leave behind a burnt smell. Cover the candle with a lid to keep the smoke (and smell) contained.\n<h3>6. Create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/11\/tips-for-creating-curb-appeal-in-the-fall-and-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">curb appeal<\/a><\/h3>\nDon\u2019t take any chances when it comes to holding a viewing of the home\u2014be sure to shovel walkways, stairs, and any other outdoor surface that needs to be cleared! First of all, you don\u2019t want any injuries. So get shovelling and sprinkle ice salt to melt any dangerous patches of ice\u2014then sweep it away once the ice melts! Secondly, staging a home is about creating comfort and ease. Make the home accessible so clients can picture themselves living there. Any impasses can make possible buyers doubt their decisions.\n<h3>7.

It gets dark early during the winter season and you need to draw attention to the home. Make sure that viewers can see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/11\/tips-for-creating-curb-appeal-in-the-fall-and-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">curb appeal of the house<\/a> as well\u2014it\u2019s just as important as the interior when it comes to staging!\n\nFurther, light rooms fully so the home doesn\u2019t fall victim to the gloomy winter weather. A few extra lamps and candles make a huge difference to the atmosphere in a home. If there is a functioning fireplace available, take advantage of the light from a small fire. Just watch that it doesn\u2019t get too warm inside\u2014remember, comfort is a priority for winter homes!\nEmbellishing a home with holiday spirit is the best way to catch a buyer\u2019s eye\u2014just add pieces that remind you of home comforts and winter warmth! Appeal to the senses through colors and scents. Any viewer will be begging to buy the home once they get a taste of your holiday d\u00e9cor!\n<h3 align=\"center\"><em>Check out these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/03\/6-super-quick-home-staging-fixes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quick fixes for home stagers<\/a> so you can make any home sell in a heartbeat!<\/em><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Don&#8217;t miss these tricks for staging a home over the holidays!
