Rooms Should Have a Purpose
if a room is ambiguous, assign it to something definitive, such as home office, babies' room, etc...
Bathrooms
bathrooms sell homes
grimy and dated tile are a red flag
update tile using epoxy paint
have fresh clean towels, garbage emptied and a new bar of soap
Awkward Areas
underneath stairways or nooks, should be repourposed to be shown in a unique way, ie: home office, bookshelves, etc...
Bookshelves

remember to sprinkle in some key accent pieces to add visual interest
Furniture
should be simple, minimal and in neutral tones

it should be easy to walk around and navigate a room
store any furniture that's extraneous, too large, damaged or anything that doesn't match the rest of the room in a lived-in space
