Pool house staging is an aspect of real estate enhancement that some property owners do not even consider before selling their homes. This is ironic, since most pool houses belong to luxury properties and these pricey pieces of real estate must be expertly staged in order to reach their optimal value potential. Staging a pool house is a sure way of enhancing this valuable asset to entice prospective buyers to make profitable offers on your home.
This dialog details the basics of using home staging to improve the appeal of any pool house structure.
Pool House Staging Defined
Pool houses are small cottages which are typically built near bathing facilities, to facilitate changing, showering and possibly other amenities, such as sauna, steam room or tanning. Having a dedicated pool house is a fantastic addition to a property and potential buyers will swoon at the structure, as long as it is staged to sell.
Making the most of a pool house is not difficult, but as in every case of home staging, certain rules do apply to maximize the results and return on investment.
Pool House Home Staging Strategies
A wide variety of home staging tips work very well in pool house settings. Some of my personal recommendations include:
Decorate the building have a spa-like atmosphere. Update the color palate and choose luxury-looking fixtures.
Stage coordinating towels, robes, slippers and accessories throughout the pool cottage to sell an idyllic lifestyle image.
Keep the decor light and simple, with airy window treatments.
Clean up the entire cottage and check that caulking is fresh, tiles and grout are spotless and there is no mildew, water stains or damage anywhere.
Barring a complete overhaul of the fixtures and facilities, there are some easy fixes for most problems. Of course, virtually any cosmetic upgrades you do decide to do to the building should come back fully upon sale.
Staging a Pool House to Sell
A pool house is a touch of luxury at home. If you stage it to win, it can provide tremendous value to your home. Use common sense in this room in choosing the accessories and materials which will work best. Keep them inexpensive and waterproof, but do not select anything that is made of plastic. Remember that the goal here is to set a look and feel of a resort spa. Think earth tones, with touches of relaxing color throughout.
