During staging to sell your home, bedrooms need to have beds. It is hard for most buyers to envision the space without one. They do know that it can be removed and that the room can easily accommodate a desk or exercise equipment. For resale of the home, however, it needs to have a bed! We bought new mattresses and used the old ones for staging. The current look is easy to achieve without costly linens as it is layered with a bed skirt, coverlet, pillows and a throw folded at the bottom of the bed. This look can be achieved with non-matching items.
