Products Every Seller Should Buy
Modernizing is a key element in home staging and the most effective way to modernize a space is to add some key staging accessories that help to update each room. Usually after the home staging consultation I will create a home staging props shopping list for the seller. I recommend seller’s to purchase items that will go a LONG WAY in updating the home and attracting the best offer possible.
To make things easier for any seller planning to put their house on the market, I have curated a 6-page shopping list of essential home staging props.

Everyday Decor
What room can't benefit from a large jute rug, fresh new pillows, more lighting and fiddle leaf tree?
These simple, yet updated staging accessories are usually the missing piece in a living space. Make sure to go large on the floor rugs, so that every front leg of your furniture touches it.
Amazon is my go-to place for awesome pillows, so have fun exploring for that perfect, pillow combination.
Entryway Accessories
Every home can benefit from a new doormat, attractive vases, mirrors, and serving trays (find out why I love serving trays so much in my blog post all about trays).
The 37-inch circular mirror can work in any home and multiple spaces to add additional light, use over a fireplace, in an entryway or go over a bathroom vanity. At $140 from Amazon, this mirror has over 500 five star reviews!
The large jute storage baskets are another extremely versatile item that can add much-needed texture to any space for a mere $30 bucks on Amazon.
Kitchen Essentials
Most kitchens lack warmth and personality because they are filled with hard finishes. Never clear every counter and try and sell a bare kitchen! Since the kitchen is a huge selling opportunity for the home seller it becomes even more critical to carefully stage counter vignettes that add texture and warmth.
I personally love the look of cookbooks sitting upright on a kitchen counter, a bowl of fresh fruit and brand new woven dish towels or table runner. White accessories denote cleanliness, so using white home staging props will help to make the clean connection for buyers. These small, inexpensive additions go a long way in creating a clean, natural atmosphere.
In this Kitchen, I repositioned the white canisters and added a more interesting vignette next to the stovetop. To draw attention to the island, I added a pretty white serving dish topped with a fruit stand (the bright yellow lemons and green limes are fake by the way), a cheerful white and yellow plaid dish towel, and some fresh flowers.
Bedroom Basics
Bedrooms are so personal, that it can be discomforting walking into another person's boudoir for a buyer...especially if the bedding is old and tired looking.
Adding white bedding enlarges the space and gives it a fresh, clean feel in any bedroom.
Bathroom Essentials
Bathrooms are similar to bedrooms in that they are intensely personal, so using white and having it immaculate will never scare off buyers. Use a serving tray to anchor a vignette on the counter. Fresh white, fluffy towels stacked by the tub and greenery gives the space that spa-like feeling.
Coffee Table Vignette
Building beautiful vignettes or what I call "emotional connection points" in each room of the home takes an extreme eye for design. I built a perfect coffee table vignette that is easy for you to purchase and build on your own.

Quick Updates Help Sell Homes
Even if you are selling your home on the tightest of budgets, these many items valued in total at around $1250 will make a $12,500 difference in the value of the home.
Buyers are looking for stylish decor and statistically will pay more for homes that have updated decor, so spending a bit on these versatile accessories will be an investment in the sale of the home. Not to mention, you can reuse them in your brand new home!
