Five Easy Steps to Stage Your Bathroom
We all know that kitchens and bathrooms sell houses. So how do you get them ready when your house is about to hit the market? This post will give you five easy steps to get your bathroom show ready.
1. CLEAN
Make sure the soap scum in the tub, shower and sinks is long gone. Mildew stains too. Don't forget the toilets. Wiping down the shower, sink and tub after use will continue to give it a clean glow.
2. DECLUTTER COUNTERTOPS
This is a must. How we live is not what we want people to see. Toothpaste and toothbrushes should be put in medicine cabinets or underneath the sink in vanities. Same goes for brushes, hair dryers, creams, perfumes, etc. Hand soap and towels on the counter is acceptable. The rest should find a home elsewhere.
3. BYE BYE PLUNGER. TOILET BRUSH & TRASH CAN
No one wants to think about a clogged toilet during their house hunt. They don't want to think about cleaning either. What you can't put in a vanity, put in a trash bag and store in a closet.
4. REMOVE AS MANY RUGS AS POSSIBLE
Having rugs by the sinks, the bath tub, shower and toilet are great to wick moisture and keep your feet from getting cold, but they make your bathroom appear smaller than it is. Show as much of your floor as possible. If you absolutely need to, you can keep one rug to stand on when you get out of the shower. Of course, wiping the floor down will be necessary about showering or bathing as well. Leave a few extra minutes for that in your morning routine.
5. MAKE THE MASTER BATHROOM AN OASIS
A large soaking tub needs a bit of soft touches to make it appear as the oasis you want it to be. Plush towels rolled up by the tub, or one draped over the bath. Candles are a great touch here as well. Or greenery.
Living a clean and decluttered life is not easy. Be sure to neatly hang towels after their use. Don't leave piles of laundry on the floor. Make the space inviting. You don't want someone to feel they've walked into a locker room.
