Getting ready to sell your home and looking for advice on how to stage your house for a quick sale? Here are 10 tips for staging a beautiful home. 

1. Keep your furniture simple. Avoid creating crowded living spaces and make it easier for potential buyers to move about the home while also providing some layout inspiration. 
2. Keep your decor simple. Remove any unnecessary items or holiday decor that may be distracting or cause an appearance of disorderliness. 
3. Avoid clutter. Put away that pile of mail or the basket of magazines by the fireplace. Clutter can distract potential buyers from seeing themselves in the home.
4. Create a designated office space. With so many people working from home these days, having a designated office space is imperative for many buyers. This can be done in a bedroom/office combo or by showing a dining space that doubles as an office. 
5. Remove all personal touches. Put away all personal belongings like picture frames to make it easier for potential buyers to imagine their own personal items in the home. 
6. Make storage space a focal point. Clean out any clutter from storage spaces that may be a top seller for potential buyers. Storage space that is easily accessible is oftentimes an important must-have for many buyers.
7. Add extra light/replace any broken fixtures or lightbulbs. Replace light bulbs in any lamps that are blown out or dim. Staging looks best in brightly lit spaces!
8. Use furniture to designate spaces. Is there a room or spaces that need a little imagination? Use furniture to designate that space. 
9. Make small upgrades in your kitchen to attract potential buyers. Maybe set up a designated coffee or tea bar. Give your appliances a good cleaning and make sure they remain clean before each showing. Remove any excess items from the countertops and only leave important items that add value to the kitchen's appearance.
10. Make your bathroom sparkle. This tip doesn't entirely involve furniture or decor but is a big task that helps with the general appearance of your home. Before showings, give your bathroom a deep cleaning. Remove or limit clutter from cabinets, the sink countertop, and shower/bath. Add simple finishing decor touches like a nice hand towel and soap dispenser.
