Things to consider...
In order to present your home in the best way imaginable, in addition to regular cleaning, it is important that you think of clearing away and hiding everyday clutter - less is more! Decide what should be left visible that is beneficial to the presentation of your home. Remove the superfluous things and bulky furniture as free surfaces make rooms look more spacious and add some neutral items or detail. This will make the home appear neat and bright, with the idea that any buyer can get a feel of what it would be like to live in your home, but not be influenced by your style. For neutrality set aside photographs of loved ones and hide traces of pets.
Use flowers, plants, blankets, and candles to make the home appear softer and lived in.
Make sure all lights in the home work. Don’t forget the candles also! Create free spaces around windows so that natural light comes in.
