Getting ready to sell your home? One of the best ways to attract more buyers and maximize your sale price is through home staging—and no, it doesn’t mean you need to bring in a designer or rent all new furniture. In fact, most staging success comes from a few simple (and often free) steps that allow buyers to imagine themselves in the space.
Clear the Clutter & Keep It Simple
The goal of staging is to help buyers picture their own life in your home—not yours. A few easy steps to make that happen:
- Clear away any clutter to open up the space.
- Put away personal items like family photos, collections, and excessive decor
- Keep furniture minimal and layout clean to help each room feel larger and more functional
- Create Instant Curb Appeal
- First impressions happen fast. Make sure the outside of your home is just as welcoming as the inside:Trim hedges and mow the lawn
- Add potted plants or fresh mulch
- Repaint the front door or update house numbers

Swap out outdated appliances for newer, matching ones if possible—especially in the kitchen. Even small changes like a new range hood or matching handles can make a big difference.
A Clean Home Is a Sold Home
It may sound obvious, but cleanliness is everything when it comes to staging. A sparkling clean space (think floors, baseboards, windows, and even inside cupboards) shows buyers your home is well cared for and move-in ready.
