Here are the top five things homeowners should do in terms of staging their home before listing it:

1. Allow in as much light as you can: Pull open all the blinds and make sure all the lights are on. Shadows can make a room look smaller. The more natural light you can feature, the better.
2. Make sure the interior is not overcrowded: Consider simplifying the layout by removing some of the furniture. You don’t want to give off the impression that the house is being lived in.
3. Properly arrange the furniture: Avoid setting furniture pieces against the walls. While this may seem like an obvious trick to make a space look bigger, it actually has the opposite effect. It’s always better to group them together.
4. Consider window treatments: For example, make sure the curtains are touching the ground. If they aren’t, it can make the ceiling seem lower and the room smaller.
5. Declutter and simplify: Take everything off the countertops and clear away the face of your refrigerator. You want people to be looking at the house, not your belongings.

Staging your home properly can make a huge difference in determining its saleability. Along with staging, professional photography also greatly improves your home’s aesthetic appeal.
