Furniture, or bulky, oversized pieces blocking site lines?Books, magazines, papers, mail, office clutter? Media clutter, remote controls, wires, cords, screens?Knickknacks, accessories, décor, artwork, plants, flowers? Personal, children or pet products, photos, toys, clothes?

Visual distraction, color, textures, styles, shapes?

If you have too much stuff, pack it, store it, hide it or put it away!

KitchenThe kitchen can easily get cluttered but it’s not to difficult to de-clutter and get ready for online photos.

Put small kitchen appliances away, out of sight.Take everything off the front and top of refrigerator.Put away dishes, dish soap, racks, towels and products.

Counters and surfaces should be 90% clear of ‘stuff’. Put back just a few medium to large scale décor accents.

To start, remove everything off the counters and surfaces.
