When preparing to sell your home, look throughout the home at the furniture, artwork and accessories. Perhaps these items would look better in another room or fill a need in another room. A living room arm chair might be perfect for a master suite sitting area. Tables can be re-purposed as a library table or desk. Be creative in your staging, using items your already have in the home. Potential buyers will be able to see how to use the space and spend longer looking at the home.
