7 Spring Staging & Decorating Makeover Ideas

Spring Staging and Decorating Ideas That Don’t Cost a Fortune!

Spring is a time for cleaning, getting rid of old and unused items, and redecorating. Get a head start on staging a home for sale or making over those living spaces.  Here are 7 Budget Friendly Spring Decorating and Staging Ideas that are fast and easy!

1.) Trash Into Treasure.  Repurpose old furnishings and decor.  An antique entertainment center may be more useful as a kitchen pantry or the perfect armoir for the kids room.  Make it a DIY project by painting, removing the doors and adding shelving.  An old door, unused mirrors or decorative partition can easily become the perfect  bedroom headboard.  Simple items like these can get a whole new look and cost next to nothing!

2.) Rearrange Furniture.  Simply rearranging furniture gives a breath of fresh air to a room.  It’s a great way to remove maybe too much furnishings in a living space and create a focal point when staging a home.  For example, moving the couch to face a fireplace or window.

3.) Add Color.  Spring is a time to break out the color in bold statement pieces.  Throws and pillows are inexpensive decorating items that can add playful splashes of color to the living room couch or master bedroom instantly.

4.) Layering.  Adding layers livens up shelves but don’t go overboard when staging a home to sell – less is best.  Layering may involve resting a large piece of artwork on the fireplace mantel and placing a smaller piece of artwork in front of it to one side.  This can also be done inside of bookshelves to add a dash of color to living spaces.

5.) Nature Goes Indoors.  Budding trees and blooming flowers means spring is in the air. Bring some of that nature inside!  Show off tree blossoms and stems from the rose bushes by creating beautiful center pieces for the dining table.  A small bouquet of guardenias or mums are perfect for the bathroom.  A pop of color adds visual interest when staging a home.

6.)  Mix It Up.  Work with the decorative items and furniture already in the home.  Get creative and change out pillows, move artwork around, paint one wall or the bathroom a fresh spring hue!  There are no rules really when it comes to decorating and mixing contemporary and traditional furnishings is okay.  A living space doesn’t need to look like the pages from the catalog and match perfectly.

7.) Freshen Up Outdoors.  Curb appeal is important when staging a home.  The front door may need to be painted and changing the color is one way to bring a decorating makeover outdoors!  A nice warm color like reds, pastel green or yellow perhaps.  Its as easy as picking a color, purchasing a quart of paint and transform the front door in an afternoon.

These simple decorating and staging  ideas are perfect ways to create those FRESH and open spaces!  Create a whole new Spring look for FREE!  Want more ideas?  Visit our Stuff We Love For Spring Pinterest Board http://pinterest.com/virtualstaging/stuff-we-love-for-spring/.
