Quick Staging Tips For The Bedrooms, Laundry and Basement

Model homes are great examples to follow as a guide since they are decorated to a minimum. When your home is on the resale market, you need to create space for the buyers. Reducing clutter and the overall number of items in a space will allow the buyer to mentally picture themselves living in your home.

Bedrooms:

1. Make the beds. Invest in new bedding if needed
2. Keep closet doors closed and/or keep the walk in closet floor clean and free of laundry
3. Streamline the number of photos on tables or dressers
4. Store extra books/magazines/collections/clutter
5. Remove posters and patch the holes and paint

Laundry Room:

1. Reduce the number of soaps/cleaners and place them in a cabinet

2. Empty sinks and clean

3. Reduce the excess hangers and laundry.

4. Make sure all lights are working and there is ample light in the room
