It’s always best to remove old paint where possible, alternatively you make have to paint over it. Try to use white or other neutral colours as this will allow those viewing to envision what paint scheme they want to put on, once they have purchased the property.

Update the fixtures 

Next take a closer look at your lighting fixtures. Try to make them as shiny and as clean as possible. They should also be functional, and the bulbs should provide enough like to illuminate the room. If they’re not working, replace them before the staging and viewings.

Furniture
