Now that spring is here, bring out the lighter colors when you are staging your home for a house sale. Put away heavy winter comforters, dark pillows and throws, instead use crisp white linens or colorful lighter shades in yellow, orange and blue. Don’t be afraid to use floral accents when staging. Fresh flowers in the bathrooms, kitchen and on side tables add a pretty spring touch.
