Top Staging Tips
If you’ve ever sold a home you’ll know this, that first impressions count!
When Hollywood’s hottest stars from Brad Pitt to Scarlett Johansen want to sell their homes the first person they call is home stager to the stars Meredith Baer.
Staging your home to sell can add 20% more to your sale price, celebrity home stager to the stars Meredith Baer, says that celebrities have the same problems as all home owners do when they’re planning on listing their properties on the market, de-cluttering and refining the look to appeal to a broad or specific market.
Meredith tips -
1. Hold off on renovations – Add a fresh coat of paint instead.
2. Crisp white bedding – Home stagers secret tip, place a duvet inner under the bottom sheet and in-between the top sheets to create a beautiful soft luxurious look.
3. Fluffy white towels – If there is any surface that doesn’t look that great in the bathroom or laundry just add towels.
4. Add a cookbook to the kitchen – Leave a cookbook open on the kitchen bench top, choose a recipe that looks delicious.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
