Bedroom Decluttering

Bed Make sure the bed size fits the room. A wall-to-wall bed is a sure turn-off for most buyers. Store it and rent a smaller bed, if possible.
End Tables Put them in storage, if they crowd the room. Otherwise, remove everything off the top, but a lamp and an alarm clock.
Dressers & Chest of Drawers Put them in storage if they crowd the room. Also, clean everything off the top.
Armoires, Chests & Wardrobes All have to go into storage.
Chairs, Rockers & Other Furnitures Remove and store.
Bedspread & Pillows Use a nice matching set that compliments the room's decor.
Drapes This depends on the room size and decor. Most bedrooms with both drapes and blinds will look larger without the drapes.
Kids' Bedrooms This is where having your home on the market will test your endurance. Yes, pick up the toys, dirty clothes, and make the beds. These rooms do count with buyers too. You may want to box up all the toys and leave a few they play with daily.
Teenagers' Bedrooms True, getting cooperation on keeping their bedroom presentable can be like trying to climb a steep, muddy slope. But the ceiling and wall posters need to go and the dirty clothes need to be picked up. Unfortunately, their room isn't an alternate universe where you can close the wormhole!
Closets They're so important - that we will address them separately!!!
