The past year has shown us how far our lifestyles can change, including the way we live in our homes. Now that things are looking up, and with remote working mostly here to stay, people who’ve been keen to explore the Denver real estate market are likely to look for places that could help them achieve work-life balance.
Here is something to consider when you’re selling your home: these days, buyers are ditching luxury over comfort, and your property needs to reflect that. Below are some of the year’s design trends to keep in mind when staging your home.
Inspired by nature
A lot of people feel the need to reconnect with nature, especially considering last year’s events. In fact, Urbane Bronze, one of the biggest color trends of the year, is reminiscent of nature. Homes with a splash of greenery and a couple of Scandinavian-inspired furniture are sure to catch the eyes of would-be buyers, as these elements instantly add softness to a living space.
Accent walls
Making its long-awaited comeback are wood-paneled accent walls, which can add more edge to living rooms or kitchens. Even wallpapers with a wooden pattern can be fashioned into a piece of art. One great thing about these accent walls is that it can speak to almost any personality and creates dimensions to any room.
A mix of classic and modern
Those who can’t decide between the classic homeowner experience and the modern smart homes can get the best of both worlds through Zen spaces and even “cottagecore”. These spaces attract those who want a more laid-back lifestyle without having to sacrifice the comforts of the latest technologies at home.
Multifunctional spaces
Because of quarantine, everyone’s homes had to become makeshift office spaces. Those who want to start anew in places like Denver will want a place where they can work in style and comfort.
This is where multifunctional spaces come in. Let your buyers imagine what they could do with their new home by showing an open floor plan or wall partitions. Soon, inspiration might strike them and imagine these spaces as an office, a home gym, or even a playroom for the kids.
Why invest in staging in the first place?
Professional staging will require you to shell out a couple of dollars, but think about what you’ll get in return. By making significant improvements to the overall look of your property, buyers will perceive greater value in their investment and will likely be open to offering more than the listed price.
In a number of studies, 85 percent of staged homes received offers that were 5 to 23 percent higher than the listed price. Furthermore, staged homes tend to spend between 33 and 50 percent less time on the real estate market.
