Selling Your Home? Declutter First!
If you are trying to sell your home, you’ve likely heard from many people about the importance of decluttering. Not only will this help you sell your home faster, but there is also a good chance you’ll be able to do so for a higher price! To get started, use these easy to follow decluttering tips and tricks.
Bedrooms
Make your bedrooms more appealing by neutralizing the wall color, getting bedding that matches, and removing any personal items. Using neutral colors will appeal to a wider range buyers, speeding up the sale.
Kitchen
If your kitchen cabinets are out of date, consider staining or painting them and adding some modern hardware instead of making any major replacements. Remove any appliances or knickknacks cluttering the countertop—your kitchen will immediately look more spacious.
Living room
Remove or put away any clutter in your living room or common spaces. Once this is done, use natural light to your benefit by opening window shades and blinds to make your room appear more airy and spacious.
Bathrooms
In bathrooms, consider packing up any products or medications that aren’t regularly used, and find a new home for jewelry or extra toiletry items. Remove any stains from tile and grout, and make sure all plumbing is in good working order.
Closets
Potential home buyers will be checking out your closets, so make sure they are not too full or you’ll run the risk of buyers thinking they won’t have enough storage space.
Garage
Clear out any clutter, and make sure everything is put away in its place. Try hanging larger items on walls to open up the floor space. Remove any bins or items to be donated, making your space appear larger.
