De-Cluttering for Home Staging
Most home owners accumulate a lot of clutter over the course of a few years. While you may be used to it and it may make you feel at home, it can detract from a room very easily.
When you are getting ready to start home staging your house, the first step should be to remove all clutter. Try to avoid the common problem of throwing it all into a multi-use room, since you never know where visitors may be looking. Instead, try to organize your clutter into tubs or bins and store it in the garage or shed.
The main goal in home staging is to make rooms look bigger, brighter and more inviting.
You want to have a minimum of any items that will draw the attention away from the room itself. Clutter is the main culprit when it comes to devaluing a room. Anything that could possibly be conceived as clutter from newspapers, to magazines, to knick knacks will need to be removed.
When you are done, the only things left should be the furniture and any rugs or pictures on the walls. You can then add in some accessories or accent pieces like candles once all the clutter is gone.
You will be surprised at how big the room looks once all the clutter is gone. In fact, many people find that after going to the trouble of home staging that they fall in love with their houses all over again.
