You’re excited to sell your home to some prospective buyers! All of the paperwork is in place and you’ve opened your doors to allow the staging process to begin.
There’s just one little problem: the walls of your house are looking a little, well, tacky.
As homeowners and home sellers, we tend to forget about the look of our walls over time. However, in the eyes of a buyer, your wall decoration could be the very thing that makes or breaks a deal. This is doubly true during a staging when your home needs to be at its best to wow your audience.
That said, how do you tackle your walls for a successful home staging? No need to fret! This article has everything that you need to get started on your wall décor.

1. Nothing Personal
You may love that Thanksgiving photo of you and your family, but your potential buyers might not feel the same. That’s why the first rule of home staging is to remove all personal wall art from the home.
Personal items can be a distraction for the buyers. You want them to focus on the home itself so they can see what it has to offer. If you must add something to the walls, make sure they’re generic and use them around the home sparingly.
2. Add Some Mirrors
No, they’re not for your potential buyers to flaunt their looks (though they can if they choose to). Mirrors can help to enhance the overall appearance of a room, and can even make it look brighter since it reflects the natural light.
Try to place different types of mirrors throughout the rooms in your house to bring out their strong points. However, be careful not to stuff too many in the house, and avoid any areas that are already stuffed with other furniture and wall items.
3. Keep It Neutral
If you feel like painting your walls, you should opt for neutral colors. You don’t know what colors are loved by your potential buyers, and the last thing you want to do is turn away a buyer because they thought your colors looked disgusting.
The best way to satisfy everyone is to use neutral tones. That doesn’t mean that these tones have to be boring. Rather, you should try some uncommon neutrals or colors that work with the room.

Now that you know what it takes for your home’s wall decoration, you’ll be able to create a look that perfectly fits your house and the buyer’s tastes.
