Tip #1 to Stage Your Bathroom Like a Pro: Clean the Space From Top to Bottom

Before you begin staging – and this goes for every room in your home – you have to clean everything. For many people, this means hiring a professional cleaning service; if that’s not in the cards for you, it’s okay. Just make sure to scrub and scour all the hotspots, including the sink, the grout and the tile everywhere.

Tip #2 to Stage Your Bathroom Like a Pro: Declutter and Put Away Your Personal Items

Though people who come to see your house know that you still live there, they don’t want to see traces that you’ve used your bathroom. That means you need to put away all your toiletries; tuck them away in neat baskets beneath the sink. Remove scrubbers and washcloths from the shower, and make sure that there aren’t any personal items – like blow dryers and makeup kits – on your counter.

Tip #3 to Stage Your Bathroom Like a Pro: Update Everything That Looks Old

If there are parts of your bathroom that look dated, such as gold-toned faucets or hardware, light fixtures that are old enough to vote, or flooring that has seen better days, it’s often a good idea to make upgrades before you list your house. However, you should talk to your Jasper REALTOR® before you make any decisions that will cost you a significant amount of money – you may not need to make them at all.

Tip #4 to Stage Your Bathroom Like a Pro: Freshen Your Caulking

If your caulking has seen better days, freshen it up. Buyers like to see that you’ve maintained the space, and though they may not notice that you freshly caulked, they’ll certainly notice if you don’t.

Tip #5 to Stage Your Bathroom Like a Pro: Add Spa-Like Touches

When buyers tour a home, they’re not just buying four walls and a roof. They’re buying the lifestyle they want – and you can show them that your bathroom is relaxing and beautiful by adding a few spa-like touches. Try to add a live plant to the counter or windowsill (but only if you have ample space); put a basket of fluffy, rolled towels at the foot of the tub; and add seating if there’s room for it. Consider a floor-length mirror, some nondescript modern art, and scented (but always unlit) candles, as well.
