Tip #3: Uncluttered & Neutral! Unfortunately this can be a challenge to many, especially if you've lived in the home for several years. First you must remove your emotional attachment when approaching the staging of your home. Furniture, if possible, should be minimal in order to make spaces look larger. Clutter should be stored away and out of sight. Clean up and organize garages and basements so future homeowners can envision the use of the space. Unclutter your kitchen! Everyone worries about "not enough cabinet space" in a kitchen. Having your toaster, coffee pot, mixer and several other items on your countertops can make your kitchen look cramped. Eliminate photos, trophys, knick-knacks, or anything that personalizes your home. You want your prospective buyer's to imagine themselves in the home. Swing through a new community with model homes and see how they are staged. Make the home inviting, neat and spacious. A home for anyone.
