living in your home. Below are a few tips for adding a special touch
and creating atmosphere for your home.

This is not a rock concert! The key to nice music in the home that
is staged is volume. You want the volume as faint as possible. The
music should go almost unnoticed, the goal is to relax and create
a pleasant experience for the prospective home buyer.
Music For the Main Rooms
Make sure to have subtle music playing in the main rooms of your
house. Set up inconspicuous speakers. This includes your living
room, main entry way, kitchen, etc.
Music For the Bathroom and Bedrooms
Try a slightly different effect in these rooms. Sound effects, water
or Rain Forest would be great in these rooms. Again, a good rule
is low volume.
Light Piano
Light Piano music is great for the staged home. Piano is generally
liked by all people, and can have very relaxing effects on the brain.
This choice is recommended for a luxury style home

Easy listening combines piano along with many other instruments
to produce an unique and relaxing sound. No Elevator music! You
do not want your home buyer to feel like they are in a drug store.
This choice is recommended for a modern, warm home feel.

relaxing and pleasant and can add an acre of elegance to your home.
This choice is recommended for a classic, traditional home feel.

sounds. ocean sounds, rain forest , and sounds of nature, are just
a few examples.

sure your house smells great. Use subtle fragrance including linen
sprays, potpourri, scented candles to add an appropriate sensory
atmosphere.

Don't count out nature! Many flowers, plants , and small trees and
shrubs create wonderful natural fragrances. Have some fun!

being. Aromatherapy and audio relaxation are serious techniques
