Niche Home Staging: Coastal Property

Selling any coastal home can be tricky. There are plenty of gorgeous properties to compete with, and you need to make your property stand out amongst a very full and often dazzling crowd. Here are some things you and your professional Home Stager® can keep in mind during your sale.

People looking at coastal property tend to react positively to nautical style interiors. So keep it crisp and cool. Colors should stay on the more traditional scope, use shades of red, white, blue. You may want to consider offsetting these shades with some patterns – stripes or checkered prints work well in chair coverings, pillows and throws. Of course I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the obvious nautical themes such as sailboats, anchors, knots, etc…It might sound trite, but it works well when not over done and will motivate buyers who really want that place on the coast to submit an offer!

If at all possible, Staging a coastal property should incorporate natural wood and crisp, clean shades of white or off-white furniture, oversized and luxurious. To compliment the natural woods, set out some woven-look accessories. But think Titanic State room, and not tramp steamer… upscale and clean.
