Staging Tip #50 #kw #realestate #homestaging

Remove the toilet brush from the bathroom and store out of sight – I don’t care if you bought the one in the fancy casing, we still know it’s a toilet brush, and it does not add to the décor.

Staging Tip #51

Clothes Closets – these are always overloaded – consider removing at least half the clothes, and organize by colour and item. Add decorative baskets to the shelves, especially if you don’t have a custom closet organizer, this will help to make it look larger and more organized.

Staging Tip #53 #realestate #kw #homestaging

Consider traffic flow when arranging furniture and be sure that there are no obstacles. If you are struggling to fit between the dresser and the bed, remove the bed. Buyers are not as likely to notice the absence of furniture as they are to notice when furniture fits awkwardly.

Staging Tip #54 #kw #realestate #homestaging

Update ALL towels, and avoid using while your home is on the market – new towels have a crisp look to them. Replace all towels that are on display in the bathrooms and kitchen, and keep hidden towels for every day use.
