In a study by Duke University, tried to determine if some home staging rules will give you more “bank for your buck” in terms of cost effectiveness. They were also interested in the psychology behind effective staging principles, on both emotional and cognitive levels.

These are the top 15 staging rules listed with the most importantly ranked at the top of this list:

  1. Removal of personal items from bathrooms.
  2. Using rooms for their intended purpose.
  3. Removing evidence of pets.
  4. Turning on every light in the home during showings.
  5. Vacant homes should be furnished.
  6. Removal of garbage cans.

  13. Sheer or no coverings on all windows.
  14. Use of scented candles, plug-in air fresheners or potpourri.
