Define every space – it is not unusual for your guest room to double as an office, and the sewing room double as the kids playroom, but for selling purposes, it is best to define each space explicitly. Choosing how to define each room can be tricky, but think of who your potential buyer market is and focus on areas that would suit their needs best.

Staging Tip #22 - The Rule of 3's #homestaging #realestate #decorating
The Rule of 3’s – in decorator’s terms, grouping items in “3’s” tends to be visually appealing and can help to avoid over-decorating. Not all shelves/mantels etc need as many of 3 items, but remember to stop once you place that third piece.
Staging Tip #23 - Appliances #homestaging #realestate
Ensure that all appliances listed with the house are cleaned and are in good working order. If they have stopped working properly, replace them. It is better to replace with a brand new inexpensive appliance than to simply exclude it altogether.
Staging Tip #24 - Staging for Holidays
Holidays – in the case of holidays, less really is more. Keep in mind that not every buyer will be celebrating the same holidays, and you want to avoid the distraction of over-decorating. For holidays related to your faith, avoid any direct religious representations (these are considered a personal item similar to photographs).
Staging Tip #25 - Bathroom Tip #homestaging #realestate
Make sure toilet seats are closed - seems like a small request, but makes such a difference.
