No prospective buyer wants to walk into a house with a dirty kitchen or bathroom and dinged up walls. Take time to clean your entire house, but be cautious of harsh smelling chemicals. Don’t overpower homes with scented items, in doing so people might think you are hiding something. Instead, a great trick is to bake some home made cookies.

3) Reorganize Bookcases

Give your shelves an organizing makeover. Remove 30 percent of your books entirely, and then rearrange what’s left over. Place a couple of trinkets within the bookcase to function as accents and bookends. This will add character and personality to the room while also lightening up your bookcases. You should always be able to see the back of the shelves. Don’t feel compelled to fill every little bit of space. Less is more!

4) Upgrade Area Rugs

Buy rugs that actually fit your rooms and your furniture. For a family room rug, avoid one that’s too small; make sure at least the front legs of your couch or chairs are touching the rug. The right-sized rug in a complementary style to the room will make the space look larger and feel more “pulled together.” Give bare floors a warm upgrade with area rugs that will make thew conversation space cozy.

5) Buy Crisp, New Towels

You should keep your personal towels hidden and keep only unused, white towels on display while the home is being shown. Since the bathroom is a very personal space, it can be off-putting to buyers to see any signs of someone else using it. Keep it as clutter-free and clean as possible. Hang a towel folded into thirds and drape it over the edge of the bathtub. Layer a folded washrag on the towel, then place a beautifully wrapped bar of luxury soap on top.

6) Replace Window Curtains

You want to take down any heavy window treatments, especially drapes. They make the room look dark, even when they are open. You also want to remove any treatments that can’t be opened or are going to be a hassle to open every day. Take down any treatments that are dirty, outdated, don’t match the current home style, or are not in the best shape or falling apart.

7) Hang Mirrors

The best place to hang a mirror is where it will reflect light, like opposite a window with a great view or a sparkling lighting fixture. This will bounce extra light around the room, creating the illusion of more space. Mirrors also add depth to a room by seemingly extending the room through the glass.
