How to Stage Your Bedrooms

How to Stage Your Bedrooms

Bedrooms need to feel comfortable, calm, spacious, and luxurious. Good storage is essential, and the bed must be the centre of attention.

Get the Basics Right

As with the living and dining rooms:

• Clear the Clutter: Remove any TVs, computers, or clothes that are not hung in wardrobes.
• Neutral Wall Colors: Keep bedroom walls neutral and add character with artwork.
• Perfect Flooring: Ensure the flooring is in top-notch condition.

Minimal Furniture

All you need in a bedroom is:

• A bed
• A bedside table (one on each side if it’s a double)
• A wardrobe

Anything else just takes up space and becomes clutter.

Prove It’s a Double

Double bedrooms are worth more than single rooms. If the room is large enough (bigger than 2.7 x 2.7m), make sure you have a double bed in it – leave buyers in no doubt! Ideally, position the bed so you can access it from both sides. This arrangement makes the room feel larger and more balanced, better than having the bed wedged in a corner against two walls.

Good Storage is Vital

Built-in cupboards are best, but a freestanding wardrobe is also good. Keep it neat and tidy inside. Leave a bit of empty space in the cupboards. When buyers see full cupboards, they assume there isn’t enough storage space.

Accessorize to Add the Final Touch

It’s easy to inexpensively give your bedrooms that extra edge:

• Place matching lamps on bedside tables.
• Install a headboard to give the bed more presence.
• Buy a bedspread to cover the base of the bed.
• Add fresh flowers in a vase for a pop of colour.
• Use crisp white bed linen.
• Add luxurious cushions and a coloured throw.
• Replace heavily patterned curtains with light, colour-coordinated fabric.

Children’s Rooms

Kids' rooms will never be immaculate – buyers don’t expect them to be. However, you still need to present them as fun, tidy, and functional:

• Tidy away the clutter, toys, games, and books into matching storage boxes.
• Use neutral-coloured bedspreads that aren't overly childish in decoration.

Always remember to have the beds made whenever you’re showing your house.
