but not when you're selling your home!
One of the first recommendations Professional Home Stagers and Realtors give their clients is to "declutter, declutter, declutter!" Less is definitely more when showing your home.
And this usually works well prior to your first open house, but what happens during the selling process when you have to live in the home and work around kids, pets, work schedules, etc?
We give our Home Staging clients a handout on how how to stay decluttered and stress free during the selling process. The handout provides suggestions that are simple and easy to maintain and helps deter frustration during the selling process.
Here are a few tips from the handout:
If bathroom storage space is minimal, give each family member a portable shower caddy for transporting toiletries from bedroom to bathroom and back.
Place under-the-bed storage containers in each bedroom for quick pick ups. Slide em out, fill em up, slide em back.
Solve the problem of what to do with bathrobes and wet towels with an over-the-door peg rack.
Do a 5 minute pick up every night before bed. Assign family members to each room. Hand little ones a pillowcase so they can help with nightly clutter rounds.
