Staging Diva Home Staging Tips for the Attic
When staging a house to sell, you can’t just ignore a room because it presents a staging challenge, or because you don’t think it would be as important as staging the kitchen or bathroom.
The goal of home staging is to have a buyer make a strong emotional connection with a property and who’s to say their dream isn’t to have a study in the attic or a craft room in the basement?
Your job is to make the property you’ve been hired to stage appeal to as many people as possible. This means you have to pay careful attention to every room of a house because you can’t assume nobody will care what the basement, garage or attic looks like.
If you have a usable attic to work with when you’re staging a house, show buyers how much storage they’ll have when they buy the property. Don’t let the homeowners cram all of their stuff up there to hide it while the house is on the market. Have them move their things into storage and / or donate unused items to charity instead.
• Get piles of stuff off the floor and tucked away neatly in closets and cupboards.
• Repaint the walls if needed.
• If there’s a dusty old carpet on the floor, suggest replacing it with laminate.
• Add lighting so it’s as bright as possible.
All of these decorating tips will go a long way towards creating an attractive and usable space in the attic of a home you’re staging.

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It?
- HI,
I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business.
It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.

- That depends what type of business you are involved in. Maybe if you share that, we can help you a little better.
I work mostly in the Work at Home industry so my advice would only be along those lines.

- I wonder if any Home Depots are going to open in Houston and environs to take care of rebuilding the city and suburbs?
At the very least, it will probably be a boon for construction and home repair workers.... and scammers too, of course.
