1. Show Off Outdoor Spaces

Capitalizing on the summer season means taking advantage of any and every outdoor space your listing has to offer! Whether it’s a cozy front porch, a quaint back patio, or a small balcony, staging these spaces helps buyers picture themselves living there. Bonus: Getting creative with bold colors and fun patterns in these spaces adds warmth, personality, and instant curb appeal!

2. Prioritize Touches of Florals and Greenery

Bring the outdoor vibes inside for the upcoming season! Adding touches of fresh florals and greenery creates a calming, inviting atmosphere for buyers. See some of our favorite examples from a recent staging below.

3. Brighten Spaces with a Light Color Palette

Keep things light and bright with a crisp, neutral color palette this summer. The natural light in a space combined with an airy color palette and tasteful touches of florals and greenery will create a serene, move-in-ready atmosphere to appeal to a wide range of buyers!
