When you are staging your home for a sale, stage the rooms with purpose. Show potential buyers what each room is used for. Choose just one purpose for each room, not multiple purposes confusing potential buyers. Take away the clutter and extra furniture from a room. Update the paint with a neutral color, such as cream or beige. Next, put furniture back in the room, but furniture just for one purpose such as a bed and dresser for a bedroom or a desk for a home office. Potential buyers will have a clear picture of how the space works.
