When selling your home, creating a neutral space helps buyers envision themselves living there. Removing personal items is a key step in the staging process.

Why Depersonalizing Matters

Personal photos, awards, and collections can distract buyers from the home itself. A well-staged home allows them to imagine their own lives in the space.

What to Remove

To make your home more appealing, consider removing:

  • Personal photographs

  • Awards and diplomas

  • Collections or memorabilia

  • Highly personalized décor

Creating a Neutral Space

A neutral, minimally decorated home makes it easier for buyers to picture their belongings in the space. A professional home stager can help maximize your home’s appeal.
