This DIY staging process includes reducing the amount of furniture and accessories, especially any that appear to show, wear or tear, or do not enhance the overall appearance of the home. This should include: paying attention to curb appeal; reduce/address any unwanted odors, and/or, eye – sores; touch-up painting, cleaning of accessories and adjustment of lighting and general aesthetics, etc.

This process often includes: removing existing furniture/fixtures and replacing them with borrowed items; improve strengths and address areas of weakness, etc. However, because this is often expensive, if you choose a quality approach, the price range and the niche of the property are relevant factors, if this is a recommended approach for you!

For example, to show off a smaller room, such as a dining room, it’s often better to use taller furniture and larger accessories that hang from the ceiling. Understand how lighting factors, as well as where to highlight and how to minimize attention, in some locations, where some paint touch-ups, curb appeal, etc., can be beneficial, are key considerations!
