Virtual Staging for Outdoor Living Spaces
About the Author: Nicole Schnell
When it comes to selling a home, curb appeal is often the star of first impressions before the focus turns to the home’s interior. However, overlooking the outdoor living spaces is a huge missed opportunity! These areas are just as vital for enhancing your property listing’s appeal and attracting a wider range of potential buyers. Outdoor living spaces serve as extensions of a property, offering valuable additional space beyond the property’s walls. They provide the feeling of getting more for your money and can significantly influence a buyer’s perception and decision-making process.
The Value of Outdoor Living Spaces
People have many reasons for buying a home, ranging from the need for more space to specific lifestyle preferences. If they want more space to live in, they’re often not just talking about the home but the outside, too. How many times have you heard a potential buyer ask, but is there a backyard? NAR conducted a study on outdoor home remodeling and found the majority of consumers were willing to take on outdoor renovation projects. And they found greater enjoyment living in their home after the project was complete! This not only highlights the inherent value of outdoor spaces but also the lost potential when they aren’t presented effectively.
Why Choose Virtual Staging?
Virtually staging outdoor living spaces enhances their appeal by effectively presenting them in their highest and best use without having to physically stage or landscape. This is a great way to increase perceived value and show buyers the living experience they’re purchasing, rather than just the property itself. Some buyers may struggle to envision the possibilities beyond the vacantness of an empty balcony or underutilized yard. Virtual staging bridges this gap by breathing life into these spaces, providing buyers with a compelling vision of their future home. Now, let’s explore some inspiring examples of virtually staged outdoor spaces to see how you can elevate your property listings!
A Blissful Balcony & Stunning View
Breathtaking sunsets and views of the landscape take center stage on this balcony, but virtual staging elevates the space. A comfortable seating area with throw pillows invites relaxation, allowing buyers to envision enjoying their morning coffee or evening sunsets in style. Virtual staging showcases the balcony’s potential as a peaceful and intimate retreat, adding value and encouraging buyers to picture themselves living with the stunning view.
Make the Backyard Bloom
Breathing new life into outdoor living spaces isn’t just about adding cozy patio furniture. By introducing vibrant flowers and greenery, the backyard is transformed into an inviting space with visual interest and charm. Now buyers can envision enjoying relaxing evenings or entertaining guests, making this backyard a true extension of their living space. With virtual staging, every corner of the backyard becomes an opportunity to create an irresistible outdoor retreat.
Poolside Paradise: Beyond the Basics
This virtual staging transformation makes a big splash! While the pool itself is undoubtedly inviting, the ‘after’ image showcases a complete poolside oasis with a variety of furniture. From shaded loungers for relaxation to a dining set for alfresco meals, it caters to every need. This virtual update highlights the pool’s potential as the ideal outdoor entertainment space, making it even more appealing to potential buyers.
Rev Up Your Garage Potential
The garage isn’t technically a living space, but it’s a crucial feature to buyers that often gets overlooked when it comes to staging. Don’t leave potential buyers wondering what they can fit in an empty garage! They may make inaccurate assumptions, impacting their decision-making process. The virtual staging here clearly shows the value of this garage by showcasing its potential, with ample parking and room for guests in the driveway.
