Selling your house? Almost every home sells better with less furniture, and staged homes sell twice as fast as those that are not staged. Cramped homes make buyers feel uncomfortable and nervous. One quick and easy way to clear out clutter while your home is on the market is to rent a mobile storage unit. The unit is delivered to you, you load it at your own pace, and when it's full, you can either leave it onsite or your storage provider can bring it to their warehouse. Once your house sells, you can have the unit delivered to your new home. Here are some tips for decluttering a home on the market:
- Depersonalize: remove any items (photographs, mementos, books) that tie you to the space.
- Remove pieces of furniture that are bulky, shabby, or block pathways.
- Remove excess shelving and storage cases—these kinds of items signal that the house does not have enough drawer or closet space.
- Likewise, make sure closets and drawers appear neat and organized, not stuffed and messy.
- Remove extra leaves from your dining room table, or choose a smaller dining room table, to make the room appear larger.
- Leave just enough furniture to define the room's purpose.
- Make sure curtains are open and windows are clean—bright sunshine and fresh air can make a big impact.
