1. Declutter, depersonalize, and deep clean<\/h2>\n
Professional stagers each have their own method for styling a bed, but even the most perfectly made bed loses its magic when surrounded by clutter. If drying racks, stacks of mail, or piles of laundry crowd the space, unwinding becomes nearly impossible. A serene, clutter-free environment is key to turning your bedroom into a true retreat.<\/p>\n
Before you buy new bedding or shop for a headboard, you have to set the stage. To begin tidying your room, turn to the Queen of Tidy herself: Marie Kondo. Author of \u201cThe Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering And Organizing,\u201d<\/a> Kondo advises homeowners to walk through a room and pull out items like clothing, books, and more. The key question: \u201cDoes this spark joy?\u201d If the answer is \u201cno,\u201d let it go. Neatly store the items you keep in the closet, dresser, or even under the bed. The less clutter on display, the better.<\/p>\n This tip is essential for sellers, but Leslie Carver<\/a>, a top Nevada real estate agent with 28 years of experience, suggests homeowners take decluttering a step further.<\/p>\n \u201cThe first thing I tell my sellers is when you walk into a room [is to] look at it like you\u2019re looking through the eyes of a buyer and see where your eye falls. If it\u2019s on all your personal property, that\u2019s not good.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Buyers need to imagine themselves living in the space, so clear out personal items<\/a> like laundry, dishes, and family photos before listing.<\/p>\n Finally, whether you\u2019re staging your bedroom<\/a> for buyers or creating your own personal retreat, a deep clean<\/a> is essential. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 58% of buyers’ agents say that home staging significantly impacts a buyer\u2019s perception of the home<\/a> \u2014 and a spotless, fresh-smelling room makes a lasting impression. Lingering odors or visible dust can be deal-breakers, so don\u2019t overlook any details.
