Home Staging Checklist

Home staging encourages better offers. Think simple, modern and clean to make rooms feel spacious, warm and inviting.

• Freshen paint with neutral, soothing tones like beige or gray.
• Declutter and depersonalize. Move a few pieces of furniture to storage and tuck away personal photos.
• Update kitchen cabinets with fresh paint and replace old hardware with contemporary finishes. Shine appliances and remove throw rugs.
• Deep clean bathrooms and clear countertops. Add new bathmats, fluffy white towels and decorative soaps.
• Transform bedrooms into havens with coordinated, gender-neutral colors for walls, windows and bedding. Update the look with contemporary headboards and accessories.
• Streamline closets by hiding clutter in attractive, stackable boxes. Hang clothing on matching hangers to help the space feel clean and organized.
• Neutralize pet odors and store pet accessories out of sight.
