Bedrooms - 

this space energy is for resting well. The bedroom can't help but feel like a very personal, private area of the home. It takes extra effort to remove the "personal" from this room, so you must really focus. Take the extra time to prepare your bedrooms by removing anything that speaks of who you are; don't allow the buyers to identify you (or your family). If they are able to do this, that's exactly what they will remember - you - not the bedroom. Again, you are selling the property, not your personal taste in decor. Keep bed linens fresh, simple and neutral...you want to create a spacious but comfortable feel in the bedrooms. Take a good inventory of your furnishings; is the room crowded or home to "left over" pieces? Create balance by placing the bed on the longest wall with two nightstands, if space allows. Check the light, both natural and artificial. Use the highest wattage bulbs recommended in lamps and open the drapes! A nice, good quality throw across the bed speaks to the comfort level in the room as does nice, plump decorative pillows and shams. Don't overdo the room with too much pattern or "fluff"...let it speak hotel chic!
