Want to sell your home faster? Feng Shui home staging will increase the value, emotional appeal, and marketability of your home. Plus, a Feng Shui makeover can help solve the home’s design and structural challenges. And, Feng Shui home staging will build confidence with any potential buyers who are already Feng Shui-savvy.

Here are 10 tips for Feng Shui home staging that can help assure a quick sale.

1. Mark the Spot. Place the “For Sale” sign to the right of the house. People naturally look to the right when they approach a home so your sign will be the first thing they see. And be sure the sign is hung above eye level because looking up lifts the buyer’s energy, while looking down lowers it.

2. Welcome Buyers. Start welcoming potential buyers before they reach the front door by clearing away dead plants, shrubs, and branches that block the main pathway. You want to assure that your buyers have a clear route to the front door. Make sure that the house numbers are visible from the street.

3. Add a Greeter. Place two healthy plants in attractive planters on either side of the front door to act as a welcoming threshold to "greet" buyers. Avoid cactus or any plants that are thorny or sharp. Bright blue ceramic planters are a good choice because this color represents the flow of abundance to your door.

4. Clean and Refresh. Make sure your front door makes a good first impression. In Feng Shui the front door is called the “Mouth of Chi” because this is where all the good energy enters. Clean the door and repaint or stain if the finish is cracked, old, or faded. Don’t forget to add a fresh new doormat, in a size that is at least as wide as your door. Make sure that your doorbell works.

5. Make a Good Impression. Display the home’s marketing flyers inside, to the right of the front door if possible. Place materials standing upright in racks, rather than lying flat on a table. If you place brochures, flyers, or business cards horizontal on a table they are symbolically “lying down on the job” rather than working for you.

6. Go Clutter-Free. De-clutter the entire house. Pay special attention to the kitchen, the closets, and the garage. Get rid of piles of papers, magazines, and newspapers. Do your laundry more often so it doesn't pile up. Your goal is to show buyers that there is plenty of room for their possessions.

7. Help Buyers Visualize. De-personalize the home by removing your family photographs, trophies, college memorabilia, and all other personalized items. You want the buyer to quickly visualize how their own family items will fit in the house. Remember that buyers are there to buy your home, not your furniture, so remove pieces if your rooms feel crowded. Less is always more when it comes to furniture.

8. Deck the Walls. Make sure the artwork throughout the house has colorful, friendly, and positive images. Remove any art that is dark, sad, or lonely. No matter how valuable your art, if the theme isn’t upbeat it’s better to replace it with a piece that has a happier image, even if it's a well-framed poster.

9. Improve the View. Create a beautiful view by cleaning all of the windows until they sparkle. Don’t forget to dust all the doors and doorframes. Pull up the blinds or shades to let in light, and consider removing any heavy or dark drapes. If you have a lovely view from a window hang a mirror across from it to reflect the outside and expand the perspective of the room.

10. Get Ready to Go. Pack up five of your most treasured possessions and seal them in a moving box as a symbol you are ready, willing, and able to move!
