Step 2 to Home Stage and Sell Your House - De-Clutter
The buyer does not appreciate your souvenirs, family portraits and hobbies, charming as they are, because the buyer has a different lifestyle. Your personal items only make the buyers uncomfortable in your house. All small items that are not necessary for your day-to-day life must be stored away. All clutter goes out the door, to be trashed, recycled, donated or stored off-site.
Most rooms have too much furniture. Now is the time to remove raggedy chairs and rundown pieces. Most rooms also have too many pictures on the walls. Gun cases, hunting trophies, political items, rock and roll posters, black lights, religious statues and ethnic pieces will disturb the buyers. Unusual, eccentric and eclectic art should be stored away. Buy a few small pictures with neutral subjects, the kind of thing you’d find in a hotel room. This is not the time to show off your sophisticated taste.
In the bathroom, put all clothing and personal items out of sight. Home stagers recommend that you remove the bath mat and the toilet seat cover. Take down those hanging shelves in the shower. Instead, display a matching set of luxurious white towels.
