Declutter Your Property
It is typically an easy first step because one of the best things you can do for your home to ready it for sale is to get rid of all your clutter. Build three bins to either "sell," "offer" or "dump" extra objects for all of your items. Pack up anything not adding to the room. More is less when it comes to staging your house.

They can also recommend a professional stager who can make a huge difference when it comes to getting your property noticed and sold more quickly.
Change The Layout

Freshen Up The Area

Changing dated or worn-down finishes and hardware is a great way to update your house Painting cabinets or even replacing the front doors can update the entire room entirely.

Make Sure Areas Are Well-Lit
Lighting can set the stage for a welcoming and warm home. To accomplish this trick and open your spaces, allow light to traverse open curtains and blinds.

This can keep your room bright by adding accent lighting to spaces that appear to be darker throughout the day.
