You probably won\u2019t find yourself in many situations where you\u2019re hired for a rush job, but it could happen. Ultimately, it\u2019s up to you to decide whether or not you want to accept the call if the homeowners contacting you had hired someone else who dropped out last minute. You are<\/em> your own boss, so it\u2019s up to your discretion.\n\nIf you do decide to take on the job, it can seem overwhelming. Worry not! We\u2019ve got you covered. Welcome to QC\u2019s step-by-step guide to staging a home in 24 hours!\n

1. Get them to move out their stuff<\/h3>\nIdeally, they would have already done so beforehand.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to operate as if they had already completed this step, since it would eat away at your staging time and would really mean that they aren\u2019t ready to do a house showing at all!\n\nIf they ask you what they should do in the days leading up your home mini-makeover, advise them to purchase some sturdy boxes and a storage locker. This way they don\u2019t have to keep moving the boxes from place to place, and they\u2019ll have a central pick-up location to fetch their stuff when they\u2019re moving into their new home![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”9419″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]They shouldn\u2019t be storing everything, though! Advising them to donate some items and tossing other things into the garbage bin will decrease what they have to pack, move, and store. This brings us to the next step\u2026\n

2. The art of decluttering<\/h3>\nThis doesn\u2019t just mean picking up old socks and recycling the junk mail. It means sorting through everything in a room and re-defining the space! It\u2019s easy to have random items strewn all over the place for someone already living in the space, but it all needs to be cleared out for an open house. You need to get rid of those extra items, maximize the amount of perceived space, and enable prospective buyers to envision themselves living in the home.\n\nIt can be easy to clear out the living room and bedroom, but clearing a kitchen counter<\/a> with a blender, toaster, microwave oven, good processor, and mixing machine is a bit difficult. Yes, those are all useful items that you probably do use on a semi-regular basis, but homebuyers place a lot of emphasis on this important space and need to see the amount of counter space available to them. Keep it as clear as possible!\n

3. Cleaning up!<\/h3>\nThe cleaning portion of the process will usually go by quicker after the decluttering process. This part involves actually wiping down the appliances and countertops, using the trusty Magic Eraser all over the walls and bathroom, vacuuming the carpet, and cleaning up the glass and window surfaces in and around the home. Your clients may not have the time and resources to do all this, so they\u2019ll probably want to get in a cleaning company to tackle all this while they focus on cleaning out the refrigerator.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”9420″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]The outside of the home needs some cleaning, too! Tasks include raking the leaves and removing all recycling and garbage off the property after cleaning out the home. Curb appeal<\/a> is incredibly important, so you want to make sure that there isn\u2019t a mound of garbage at the edge of the property.\n

4. Depersonalizing & re-defining<\/h3>\nDepersonalization is what differentiates home staging from interior decorating<\/a>. You need to help your clients clear out their bathroom toiletries, personal framed photos, award trophies, and other items that indicate that the space is owned by one specific family. The goal is to make the space come off as neutral and thus universally appealing to as many people as possible.\n\nWhile you\u2019re helping your clients depersonalize the space, you will need to more clearly re-define the space. Each room has its own purpose, but the function of a room becomes blurred over time through various occupants. With open concept homes, it can be a bit trickier since walls serve a big purpose in defining the physical dimensions of space. Using the couches and loveseat to section off the living room from the dining room is a great way of putting in semi-solid boundaries for a space.\n

5. Accessorizing<\/h3>\nYou\u2019d be surprised how nice a place can look just by replacing the smaller accessories and d\u00e9cor items. Start by assessing what your clients already have and build from there. Categorize their accessories by theme, style, and color and then evaluate the theme, style, and color of the rooms in the house. You want to have some variety, but choose your accessories to best fit the big furniture mainstays and the focal point of each room.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”9421″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]Make sure you don\u2019t choose items that you are able to buy based on design alone \u2013 think of color and theme! Neutral colors<\/a> mixed with pops of an accent color bring interest to the space without tiring out the eyes. Placing new throw pillows on chairs and couches in the living spaces and bedrooms can help with cohesiveness, because if the rooms are too neutral they come off as dull. Remember that everything should be proportionate, though. You don\u2019t want a large blanket to cover up the entire chair and create an imbalance.\n

6. New items<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re on a tight schedule, you probably won\u2019t have time to go from furniture store to furniture store or search multiple flea markets for that special something to add to your client\u2019s home. You\u2019ll have to work with what you have, but there are some items that might seem insignificant but can make a huge difference in how potential homebuyers see the space!\n\nYou don\u2019t need to have brand-new stainless steel appliances, but having fluffy white, stain-free towels can up the luxury factor since people associate this with hotels! Because countertops are cleared by this stage, having some well-placed items can enhance the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”9422″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]An easy way to breathe life back into a space is through the use of plants. From a vase of simple daisies to a large but well-placed floor plant,\u00a0decorating with a bit of greenery<\/a> can make the space feel fresh and open. Make sure the container\u2019s shape, color, and finish align with your theme!\n

7. Polishing up<\/h3>\nReplace that flickering lightbulb, neatly fold those bleach-white towels, strip the bed and put on fresh sheets, deodorize the home, pull the curtains back to let in natural light, and let in some fresh air! After you finish polishing up the home, your clients have to be extra careful of how they use the space before the open house.\n\nIf they wash their hands in the sink, make sure excess water droplets haven\u2019t gathered to puddles on the granite counter. Simply wiping this away can seem tedious, but it can make a big difference when potential buyers mill about the home. Every cabinet, drawer, and closet in the house is fair game for examining, so maintaining a clean and tidy appearance even behind closed doors is essential.<\/em>\n
