If you’re getting ready to sell your home, don’t forget to stage your bathroom to highlight the best features for potential buyers.

The first rule of staging any room in your home is to remove unnecessary clutter, so pack up any products or medications you don’t use regularly. Before showing your home to potential buyers, you should perform a thorough cleaning, including wiping down surfaces, cleaning the bathtub and toilet, and descaling the showerhead. If there are any repairs you’ve been putting off in the bathroom, make sure you take time to complete these tasks. Finally, refresh the space by adding a new coat of paints and updating features like faucets or the showerhead.

You can buy and install locks on your own, or you can hire a locksmith to switch them out for you. Additionally, make sure to update any passwords or security codes for devices like security systems and garage doors.
