If you are selling your home this summer, use summery accents to complete your staging. Always begin by de-cluttering and de-personalizing the home. You don’t want potential buyers looking at your decorations and not seeing the house. Stage the house, giving purpose to each room, so you do not leave potential buyers guessing as what a room is used for. Finally, add a punch of color with accents, such as brightly colored throw rugs, a vase of fresh cut flowers or vivid colored throw pillows.
