How to Stage a Small Kitchen to Sell Your Home

How to Stage a Small Kitchen to Sell Your Home

If you’re selling your home and your kitchen is on the small side, don’t worry – you can use these tips to help stage it effectively. By following these simple steps, you can make your kitchen look bigger and more inviting to potential buyers, which may help you sell faster and at a higher profit.

How to Stage a Small Kitchen to Sell Your Home

When your kitchen is cozy, you may worry that it’ll impact your chances of selling your home quickly and at the right price. Though it’s true that prospective buyers do place a heavy emphasis on kitchen spaces, you can follow these tips to impress each person who comes to tour your home:

  1. Keep the counters clear
  2. Maximize storage space
  3. Use light colors
  4. Use vertical space
  5. Add plants or flowers

Here’s a closer look at each.

Tip #1 for Staging a Small Kitchen: Keep the Counters Clear

When you have a lot of stuff on your countertops, it makes the space look smaller and more cluttered; that’s the last thing you want. In a case like this, one of the best things you can do to stage your small kitchen is to clear off the counters. Put away any appliances that you don’t use on a daily basis, and find a place for everything else. This will make your kitchen look bigger, brighter, and more inviting.

If you don’t have a lot of storage space in your kitchen, consider investing in some attractive bins or baskets to hold items like utensils, spices, and other small items. This will help to keep your counters clear while still allowing you to have everything you need within reach.

Tip #2 for Staging a Small Kitchen: Maximize Storage Space

One way to make your small kitchen look bigger is to maximize the storage space. This can be done in a number of ways, such as:

  • Installing shelves on unused wall space
  • Putting up a pot rack
  • Utilizing space-saving storage solutions in the cabinets you have, such as portable pull-out drawers

Any of these options will help to give you more storage space, which will in turn make your kitchen appear larger.

Tip #3 for Staging a Small Kitchen: Use Light Colors

Another way to visually expand the space in your small kitchen is to use light colors in paint and decor. When the walls and counters are a light color, it makes the space appear larger than it actually is. If you have a dark kitchen, consider painting it a lighter shade or adding some white accents.

You can also use light-colored window treatments to brighten up the space and make it look more open.

Tip #4 for Staging a Small Kitchen: Use Vertical Space

If your small kitchen doesn’t have a lot of counter space, make use of the vertical space. This can be done in a number of ways, such as:

  • Hanging pots and pans on a pot rack or from a hanging shelf
  • Installing shelves to hold dishes and other items
  • Using an over-the-door organizer for spices, utensils, and other small items

All of these options will help you to make the best possible use of the space you have, which will make your kitchen look bigger and more organized.

Tip #5 for Staging a Small Kitchen: Add Plants or Flowers

Another way to add some life to your small kitchen is to add plants or flowers. This can help to brighten up the space and make it feel more inviting. If you have a windowsill, consider adding a plant or some fresh herbs. A small vase of flowers on the countertop can also be a nice touch.

When staging your small kitchen, decluttering the counters and maximizing storage space will make the space look bigger and more inviting. And by using light colors and adding live plants or freshly cut flowers, you can brighten up the space and make it feel more welcoming. With a little effort, you can stage your small kitchen in a way that will impress prospective buyers and help you sell your home quickly and for the best possible price.
