Staging your Home

I came across this interesting article at MSN the other day that talks about staging your home for sale. Now, the homes in this article are professionally staged, however some of the tips and ideas could be useful for even the do-it-yourselfer right here in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Consider a neutral-colored throw on your sofa, or a mantle cleared of clutter with a tasteful painting centered against the rock-work. A mirror would be even better, as this will reflect light and make the room seem larger.


Throw pillows make a chair or couch look inviting. Remove extra items to storage and pull a room together with a neutral-colored inexpensive throw rug.

Special touches like these can add to the presentation of your home, making it even more appealing to prospective buyers.
