Make Space in the Bedroom for Another Activity
When potential buyers see a bedroom with just a bed and dresser, it gives the impression that there's not enough space to do anything else. Which is why Baer recommends putting a small club chair, or if the room's a little larger, a chair and side table, that gives the bedroom another function to make it seem more spacious.
