Don't let the thought of selling your home during the winter months dampen your holiday spirit. Create a festive, buyer-friendly environment with these seven seasonal staging tips.
Add Holiday Adornments
| | The less-is-more mantra of home staging may tempt you to forgo holiday cheer this year. But a few subtle touches like a pine cone centerpiece, an evergreen wreath or a pot of cider simmering on the stove can create a warm and festive feeling in your home. "Avoid overtly religious flourishes, which may be off-putting to some buyers." |
Complement Your Palette
| Before you start untangling your tinsel, make sure your holiday collection matches your current decor. If your living room has a clean, all-white color scheme, skip the clashing red garland and opt for a white tree, white candles and silver glass ornaments. "If you've got an earthy color scheme, accent with rich tones like cranberries, forest greens and gold." |  |
Accentuate Positive Features
 | Too many trimmings may distract buyers, but the right accessories can draw attention to your home's best features. "Try hanging a few tasteful ornaments from your mantel to highlight an elegant fireplace, or dangling mistletoe in an arched doorway." |
