Default Highlighting the structure.

Highlighting your homes best features is an important part of staging. It makes all the difference in how people feel about the home.

The kitchen is all important and should be highlighted. An island is important to the everyday use of the kitchen. Highlighting it by placing a few functional items will let people focus there.

Storage is all important and letting people see how much there really is will help. Place a few items in these areas and leave the doors ajar.

Porches and basements are also important make sure they are clean and in good repair. Fresh paint and decorative items will give them the feel you need.

Don't forget the bathroom. Ours is functional but could really use and update. Good tile and flooring is all important. We like them clean but also functional. Make sure that everything is easily usable and functional.

You should highlight sifferent spots in the yard as well,making it feel welcoming to others.

If you have a small water feature in the yard this should be highlighted.

Another thing is any different windows that you may have like a bay window or something like this.

You should make an area in the front yard as a highlighted focal point to offer an appeal to any passers through.

A great way to make portions of the house stand out and draw attention is with lighting. You can use lights to create focal points such as above the fireplace or at wall art.

I have seen houses lately that highlight their windows with allo kind of things.

I have seen window boxes with beautiful flowers in them to attract the eye towards the window.

I have alos seen a lot of people putting some type of lighting around their windows to atrract people to look at the house.
