February is Bedroom Month on Apartment Therapy! We\u2019re sharing stories all month about bedrooms \u2014 from how to decorate them, to the fascinating history of them, and so much more.\u00a0Head over here<\/a>\u00a0to see them all!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Picture yourself walking through an open house, waltzing in and out of rooms that one day might be yours. You enter the bedroom and\u00a0bam<\/em>: a wrinkled bedspread, coupled with a few much-too-large pieces of furniture, become an instant turnoff. You know none of the furniture would be in the room once you move in, but it\u2019s clouding your vision anyway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That\u2019s exactly why home stagers exist: To help present a home in its best light, allowing buyers to envision themselves in it without any distractions. A properly staged room highlights the most attractive aspects of a space, while a poorly staged room can do the opposite. In order to uncover the secrets of making a bedroom look tidy, I talked to home staging experts from across the country. Here are the things they always do to make bedrooms look neater.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Clear Out the Clutter<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

No one likes clutter, and in home staging, it is nothing short of a sin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cTo help you organize your bedroom spaces for a tidier look and feel, you can start by storing away any non-decorative items and clutter,\u201d says Trish Anne Van Vliet-Banning the lead in-house staging professional of\u00a0Stuccco<\/a>, a virtual staging an online interior design company.\u00a0\u201cMake sure you hide those unsightly cords,\u201d she explains. \u201cThey do not add any appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Carol Smith, the founder of\u00a0Creative Home Stagers<\/a>, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, advises using small chests for side tables. \u201cIt enables you to use them for storage for various smaller things,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Likewise, she suggests the use of storage ottomans at the foot of a bed or on the side of chairs to store extra sheets, throws, and pillows.\u00a0\u201cIn a lot of [primary bedrooms] there\u2019s a place to sit, and if a bedroom has a side chair, we like to use a storage ottoman as a footstool or use a large basket next to the chair,\u201d she says. \u201cIn that you can pile pillows or throws.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Additionally, under-bed rolling storage units are also a great option to get an overflow of clothes, shoes, and handbags out of sight, according to Smith.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Eliminate Pieces, Rather Than Add Them<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Minimalism is a key aspect of cleanliness and organization, especially when it comes to staging a room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI believe that less is more, so when I am doing a staging, putting things in a specific space is what makes things tidy,\u201d says Dr. Sylvia Gholston, the franchise owner of\u00a0Showhomes of Cobb<\/a>\u00a0in Cobb County, Georgia. \u201cToo much furniture makes a place look small and cluttered.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Instead, fewer pieces of furniture, strategically placed art, and repeating the colors used in the room help make a pleasing arrangement. \u201cI don\u2019t do all the extra. You don\u2019t need 12 quilts \u2014 just a lamp, a small accessory on the table, and a tiny picture,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If the furniture is high end, there is even less need for accessories, she says: \u201cIf it\u2019s a luxury bed, you don\u2019t need a chest and a dresser; the bed stands alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Tone Down the Color<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

When it comes to the colors used in a staging, it\u2019s best to avoid anything too loud and noisy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Instead, make your bedroom light, bright, and spa-like, according to Van Vliet-Banning. \u201cAdd white or light neutral colored bedding, with small pops of color to add interest and harmony,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And don\u2019t forget to add some touches of greenery. \u201cGreenery and white orchids always add that splash to make a space feel alive,\u201d she advises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
