12 Feng Shui Tips to Staging a Winning Game Room That They Will Love

If you are fortunate to have a bonus or family room, take that advantage and run with it. Optimize the potential by creating a space that celebrates family, fun and relaxation. Show buyers you have what they desire. Remember what sells.

You touch the ♥. You fill the need. You sign the deed of sale.

What buyers will appreciate and pay a premium for, families or couples, is an extra space to send the kids. Remember buyers will pay a premium for extra space and storage. And don’t kid yourself most men desire their very own “man cave” to escape from their busy days. I’m not suggesting you leave the Lego’s on the floor, and the trophies on the walls. I am saying to paint the 1970′s wood paneling, yes even the knotty pine, change up the light fixtures, remove the blinds and edit the psychedelic carpet.

Be excited with the process! You are investing in maximizing your return!

The Payoff is in the details. So let’s get down to the basics.

12     Steps to increasing your value

  1. Edit all over sized furniture that dwarf the space.
  2. Edit all games, trophies, poster, dart boards, pack and store for your big move.
  3. Illuminate an expanse of space with bright up lighting, by that I mean floor lamps that point up wards. You want to lift the ceiling, and create a sense of volume. Being in a basement doesn’t have to feel like a cave.
  4. Arrange furniture to create an open , inviting flow of movement. Buyers do not want a view of the back of your sofa when entering the room. They do want to see the warm fireplace.
  5. Edit the big black vortex of a TV from the room. Yes, vortex, TV’s are like mirrors they have the capability to demand attention. You are selling the features of the house, not the score of Grey Cup.
  6. Keep all coffee and end tables free of clutter
  7. Edit toys and store neatly away the current favorites.
  8. Keep all accent cushions neatly displayed
  9. Neatly fold and store all blankets
  10. Clean and de-grime the fireplace
  11. Edit the bar of all “Spirits”, glasses and stemware
  12. Display a silk flower arrangement to bring some life to the party.

Dark and Dingy isn’t going to make you a dime.
Light and Spacious will Sell in no Time!
