Don't forget the kids when selling a home. Now a days most buyers are looking for homes where they can expand their family or where they can fit their growing kids. Most communities have families living in them and in order to appeal to those buyers you need to stage for those buyers. That means staging at least one bedroom for a toddler, baby or teenager. It also means staging one of the bathrooms for children.
Obviously you have to know your demograhics when staging any home to ensure you are staging for the right buyer. I think it is important when staging a home in a neighborhood that predominantly has families that you stage a few of the rooms with the kids in mind. It just helps the buyer imagine their family living there. The Staging Fashionista makes every effort to understand the demographics of each community and then we stage it for the right buyer. So if kids are part of the demographics, we don't forget the kids! Happy Staging Everyone!

I have found that creating dreamy childrens rooms is a great way to appeal to female buyers, even if they have kids or don't plan on having any. The one problem I often run in too is when homes are lived in, the children require too many things to remain in their rooms in order to maintain their comfort zone. Coming up with creatie games and ideas to get kids and families to temporarily part with items always works!
Hi Lisa - so true and you are right about having to find creative ideas for parting or putting up toys helps! Thanx for stopping by.
Mannie - I just love turning a small, vacant extra bedroom into a child's bedroom - I must say, I have more fun creating a gir's room - the colours and textures can be so much more playful. Maybe it's because I have two girls of my own, and no boys, so I can relate more.
Hi Sally - I love doing kids rooms there are so many things you can use to stage it and it all ends up looking great!
