Introduction
The goal of this staging plan is to enhance the visual appeal of the property by decluttering, rearranging furniture, and creating an inviting space that highlights the home’s best features. By following the principles of 'Remove Clutter' and 'Less is More', we will create a clean, spacious, and well-presented environment that maximizes the property’s market potential.
Key Principles
1. Remove Clutter
Unnecessary items should be removed or stored to create a clean and open environment.
2. Less is More
Rooms should have a minimal but functional design, allowing buyers to visualize themselves in the space.
3. Cleanliness is Key
Every surface should be cleaned, creating a fresh and well-maintained impression throughout the home.
