Staging your Northwestern Wisconsin home for spring can help you attract more buyers and draw higher offers! Here are practical suggestions to leverage the season and refresh your property.
Exterior:
- Prune back dead branches and trim overgrowth.
- Add fresh mulch around trees and turn over soil in garden areas.
- Pressure-wash your home exterior, along with the deck or patio.
- Accent the front doorway with potted flowers and a new doormat.
- Stage your deck or patio with a couple of lawn chairs and potted flowers.
- If the lawn is patchy, treat it with a fast-germinating grass seed blend.
- Repair any holes in window screens and screen doors.
Interior:
- Remove clutter and excess belongings. The more open space, the better!
- Organize the mudroom, laundry room and children’s play areas.
- Deep clean the home interior, including windows and blinds.
- Replace heavy winter drapes with thinner, light-colored curtains.
- Swap out winter rugs and hallway runners with new, light-colored ones.
- Accent the couch with light-colored throw pillows.
- Place clean white towels and new shower curtains in washrooms. Store personal items out of sight.
- The kitchen counters should be as open as possible. Put away countertop appliances, except for the coffee pot.
- Accent the kitchen with light-colored dishtowels and a small bowl of fruit.
- Display a vase of fresh-cut spring flowers on the dining room table.
