Creating a High-Vibration Open House: Little Touches that Make a Big Impact

When it comes to hosting an open house…

energy is real and buyers can feel it the moment they step through the door.

When it comes to hosting an open house, most people focus only on the visual — the polished floors, the perfectly staged throw pillows, the smell of fresh cookies in the oven. And while those things definitely matter, there's something even more powerful working behind the scenes: the energy of the home.

Energy is real, and buyers can feel it the moment they step through the door. Whether they realize it or not, they're picking up on the vibration of the space — and that subtle feeling can be the difference between "just looking" and "this feels like home."

Creating a high-vibration open house isn't about major renovations or expensive decor. It's about small, intentional touches that shift the atmosphere in a way that feels welcoming, uplifting, and calm. And the best part? Anyone can do it.

Here are a few of my favorite ways to raise the energy before your next open house:

1. Clear the Space Before You Set the Stage.
Before any furniture is fluffed or candles are lit, take a few minutes to energetically cleanse the home. You can do this by simply opening the windows and letting fresh air move through, or using a natural smudge spray with essential oils like sage, lavender, or frankincense. If you have Palo Santo wood, even better. A quick clearing can neutralize any heavy or stagnant energy and create a clean slate.

2. Diffuse Uplifting Essential Oils.
Instead of overpowering the space with synthetic sprays or plug-ins, try diffusing a blend of pure essential oils that naturally elevate the mood. Think citrus oils like orange, grapefruit, or bergamot mixed with a touch of peppermint or rosemary. It smells fresh and light, and it subconsciously puts buyers at ease.

3. Create Soft Soundscapes.
Music plays a huge role in setting the vibe, but it doesn’t need to be cheesy elevator music. A soft, acoustic playlist or even ambient nature sounds can make the home feel peaceful and alive at the same time. Think "spa day meets casual Saturday morning."

4. Add Touches of Nature.
Fresh flowers, a small bowl of polished crystals, or even a simple green plant by the entryway can instantly raise the frequency of a room. Nature carries a naturally high vibration — and little pops of life make a home feel cared for and connected.

5. Set Subtle, Positive Intentions.
Before the doors open, take a quiet moment to walk through each room and set a positive intention. Visualize the perfect buyer falling in love with the space. Imagine them feeling safe, excited, and "at home" the moment they enter. Your energy and mindset absolutely ripple out into the environment.

6. Keep It Light, Bright, and Spacious.
Energetically, clutter feels heavy. Make sure pathways are clear, furniture feels airy (not crammed), and natural light pours in wherever possible. A home that feels open physically also feels open emotionally — and that's a major key when you're welcoming new energy in.

Small changes create major shifts.

When you approach an open house not just as a showing, but as an energetic invitation, you set the tone for something magical to happen. Buyers may not be able to explain it, but they’ll feel it — and that’s the moment when a house starts to feel like home.

Here's to creating spaces that sell not just because they look good — but because they feel good, too. ✨
