An
outdoor space doesn’t have to be huge to make a big impact. Staging a backyard
helps the buyer see the possibilities. The idea is to give the buyer a subtle
message of relaxation and entertaining by creating a memorable entertainment
spot for intimate dinners with friends and family gatherings.
Following
are ideas for creating outdoor spaces that will help transform your yard into
the ultimate retreat or entertaining space that help sell the lifestyle of
the home:
1)
Stage an Area. Stage a porch seating area using two outdoor sofas
with colorful throw pillows and an outdoor rug. Add plants and
accessories. Whether it’s just leaving a magazine on the coffee table, or
a pitcher of lemonade with glasses on a bistro table, you can give buyers an
image of a peaceful retreat.
2)
Add an Outdoor Kitchen. Kitchens are the center of family life. They
can be extensive or they can be as compact as a patio with a grill and table.
There are a wide variety of options for every space, purpose, and price range.
3)
Add Outdoor Lighting. Use lighting to highlight important areas
of the yard, or add a set of solar walkway lights.
4)
Add a Fire Feature. Installing a portable fire pit or building a stone
fireplace can extend the time people can spend in their backyards.
5)
Add a Water Feature. From small fountains to ponds, streams, create a sense of
peace and calm, helping people connect with nature, and may attract
wildlife.
6)
Create a Wildflower or Herb Garden. They are beautiful and smell great.
