It’s common knowledge that the purpose of staging a home is to neutralize its appearance so it will appeal to the widest audience of buyers. But then again, that’s not entirely true.

Unless it’s overly customized, you’ll likely want to stay true to your listing’s current style rather than reinvent the look completely.
