Home Staging Services

Showcase Your Home

Your home is the largest investment you’ll ever make.

If you’re considering selling your home, you naturally want to make sure it sells as soon as possible and for all it’s worth.

But as your home sits on the market for longer and longer, the weeks can turn into months without any offers worth entertaining.

So what are your options?

Take your house off the market?

Accept an offer far lower than your home is worth?

Let your home sit on the market even longer?

Thankfully, there’s a better option – home staging.

MatiDesign in London Ontario offers a variety of design services for your home.

That includes home staging.

Your home is the largest investment you’ll ever make. The MatiDesign team can help you make sure it sells for top dollar.

What Is Home Staging?

When you live in your home, it’s just for you. It’s where you and your loved ones relax, spend time with each other, and insulate yourself from the chaos of the world.

A London Ontario interior decorator’s job is to help you design your home to be a warm, welcoming, and functional space geared toward your specific needs.

But that’s not how home staging works.

An important mental shift has to take place when you sell your home. It’s no longer your home at that point – it’s a product on the market. With that in mind, it’s important to make sure your product is appealing to potential buyers. That’s what home staging does.

If interior decorating is the process of personalizing your home, staging is the process of depersonalizing it. This way, potential buyers can more easily picture themselves living there.

Staging your home helps connect with your potential buyer’s emotional side. It helps them picture what their life might look like if they purchased your home. A cozy nook here, a romantic bedroom there – it’s all designed to make your home more appealing to a buyer. It paints a picture of a sophisticated, enjoyable, organized lifestyle they can fit themselves into, if only they buy your home.

Staging can also highlight the best selling points of your home, while minimizing any flaws or issues. But the bottom line is that staged homes, on average, sell quicker, and for more money.

The MatiDesign team can help.

Owner Occupied Home Staging

Many people will still live in their homes while it’s listed on the market. In this case, it’s important to make sure your staged home is still fully functional for your family’s needs.

The MatiDesign team can help.

We’ll work to declutter and depersonalize your home so it looks great in photos as well as during open houses. As we do, we’ll make sure your home still works the way you and your family need it to.

This may include changing the layout of your furniture, changing wall art, accessorizing, residential painting, and light home renovations.

Vacant Home Staging

You might think a vacant home is more appealing than a currently occupied one. But potential buyers will have an even harder time imagining themselves living there.

After all, an empty bedroom doesn’t tell the buyer much. It’s hard to imagine what life might look like in such a space. How big is it? How much of their stuff could they fit in there? Will it fit their needs?

These questions can be answered much more easily when a vacant home is staged.

If that same bedroom has a bed, night tables, and a dresser, it’s easier to get a feel for how the space can work.

The MatiDesign team knows how to fill an empty space with furniture, wall art, accessories, and more to make it appealing for the market.

Potential buyers will walk in and immediately feel right at home. They’ll get a warm, inviting feeling which encourages them to project their lifestyle onto it.

Questions About Renovating Your Home

Why Should I Stage My Home?

Your home is the biggest investment you’re likely to ever make. Staging your home before you sell it will help you maximize your return on your investment.

Staged homes overall sell more quickly, and for more money, than their unstaged counterparts.

Can I Choose The Items You Use To Stage My Home?

It’s important to remember that home staging is not the same thing as interior decorating. So the items you want to use might not be effective in the process of depersonalizing your home.

Remember that you and your MatiDesign team both have the same goal – to sell your home for top dollar.

Can’t I Just Stage My Home Myself?

Maybe. However, it’s sometimes hard to be objective about your home when you’ve been living in it for so long. The MatiDesign team will bring a fresh set of eyes to look at your home objectively. From there, we can put together a plan to make your home the most appealing it can be to the market.

Is Home Staging The Same As Decluttering?

Decluttering is part of home staging, but there’s much more to it than that.

Home staging is about making your home more appealing on the market. That means decluttering, yes, but it also includes things like:

  • Layout changes
  • Furniture placement
  • Wall art placement
  • Colour coordination
  • Removing personal items
  • Painting
  • Light renovations
  • Flooring
  • And more

Why Should I Spend Money To Paint Or Renovate A Home I’m Going To Sell?

Older elements of your home tend to become weathered and dated. This can give potential buyers the impression that the home itself is weathered and dated, which makes it less appealing.

It may cost some money to do some light London Ontario home renovations or a residential painting refresh. But that will almost always come back to you as you sell your home for more money.

However, your MatiDesign team will work with you to put together a plan that works within your budget.
