11 Feng Shui Tips to Staging a Beautiful Kitchen

For centuries and in many cultures the kitchen has been revered as the ♥ of the home. In Feng Shui this remains to be true, this is where families come together and fond memories made. The Chinese believed that the more elements on the stove or the larger the fire one had, the greater their health and prosperity. Even western cultures refer to the kitchen as a symbol of relationship, as in the old adage “A way to a man’s ♥ is through his stomach.”

I’m not suggestion you cook a meal or treats for your buyers. I am suggesting you create a space that inspires, health, family and prosperity. This is how to do that.

11 Emphasizing the ♥ of the Home “The Kitchen”

You have already edited your home of all clutter. The same rules apply to the kitchen. Pack up all those extra kitchen gadgets.
If your cabinets are dated and funds are limited, a fresh coat of paint and some new hardware can give them a face lift that will put a smile on many a face. I’ve seen dated oak cabinets come to life with an application of gel stain that rivals new cabinets.
Clean the inside of all cabinets, particularly under the sink. Buyers will look inside. Repair any leaks, and make sure garbage’s are taken out.
Organize all china, glasses, stem and silver wear. Neatly stack plastic containers, pots and pans.
Keep all dish soaps and cleaning products organized and out of sight.
Create a clean, open space by keeping stove, counter tops, sinks and tables clear.
Illuminate the space with bright lighting
Place a beautiful serving bowl of various fruits on the table. This adds colour and softens an expansive surface.
Hang artwork that depicts an abundant harvest.
Show your hospitality by offering buyers bottled water, placed on a serving tray.
If it’s winter, display a photo album of the front and back yard gardens. Any before and after shots of renovations will highlight the love and pride you have shown the house.
