There are some rooms that need more attention than others. Below, you will find the most important rooms and why they are important.

1: The Entry.

This room is the first thing people see when they enter your home. Focus a great deal of attention here to ensure a good first impression.

2: The Kitchen

This is one of the most important rooms. People spend a great deal of time in their kitchens. A bright, well lit, well organized kitchen will make a great deal of difference.

3: Bathrooms

Clean any bathrooms you have, unplug any drains, and make sure they are well lit. A bathroom needs to be spotless in order to be appealing. Clean towels and accessories should be used to make a bathroom more inviting. Replace caulking and ensure the tiles in the shower are spotless. Buyers will check every corner of a bathroom.

4: Living Spaces

The Den, Living room, and entertainment rooms should be in top form. Neutral colors make a big difference, but add splashes of color to make all of these rooms more inviting. Work to be sure that those purchasing the home feel they can entertain guests. Make the best use of space and ensure that the room is as open appearing as possible.

5: Bedrooms

It is important that you make your bedrooms look inviting while storing away any personal items. The bedroom often has many personal items, such as photographs, figurines and decorations. Remove these items so that your home shows better to potential buyers.

When using this free home staging checklist, the more effort you use in staging, the better the results will be.
