The term focal point refers to areas in each room within a house. These points are used as the chief visual effect to create home buyer interest in the home. The most important point here is the each visual effect must grab the buyer's attention immediately.
If you are living in the house, your personal items become the focal point for you and your guests. But these personal items cannot be the focal point when selling a home.
What you must do is use the differences in each room to your benefit. Each staged room should have a fixed focal point such as a window or a fireplace. The mistake that people make is creating a focal point around furniture or a television which are personal items.
The best way to establish excellent points of interest, for starters, is to remove your personal items from each room. Once those personal items are gone, it is easier to establish good focal areas.
The reason for strong focal points is to display the qualities of each room, so prospective buyer see their family living there. A house is only a group of rooms that does not have a personality, unless the seller has created good focal points.
The idea of home staging is to remove personal effects, but not create a house that feels empty and lifeless.
By creating special effects in a house you draw attention to the best details, so a prospective buyer is excited and ready to buy. The major element in home staging is creating a neutral impression that will appeal to a large array of prospective buyers.
The following are ideas to create good points of focus:
1. Concentrate on elements of the home that will leave the prospective buyer with a good impression.
2. The best visual points are items like a fireplace, or build in bookcases, or just a decorative arrangement in the room.
3. Make sure every room is bright and cheerful, do not have your blinds closed or your drapes drawn.
4. Every room in your home may not have a focal point, so create a focal point that is neutral, such as a mirror on the wall or ceiling light that will stay with the house.
5. Create visual points outside the house that will make the home more inviting such as a few colorful flowers or shrubs.
6. You should spent time fixing or replacing any fixtures or appliances that are broken or out of date.
Below is a list of areas to consider:
1. Bookcases
2. Fireplaces
3. Cabinets
4. Stairs
5. Big Windows
6. Decorative Shelves
7. Walk in Closets
8. Entrance Foyers
9. Stairwells
The best part of staging is that point when you feel your home is ready to be listed with a real estate agent.
