Handling the hall storage

The hall storage (linen cupboard, under stair storage, etc.) is probably the first one buyer poke their heads into, so you need to make sure what they see looks neat and spacious.

Function: Store outdoor clothing, boots, shoes, and other daily use outdoor items.

Upgrade options: Add shoe racks, coat hooks, and clear storage organization bins (for hats, gloves, umbrellas, and so on).

Showcasing tips: Remove all offseason clothing. Sort the remaining items by colours and length. If you have items that aren’t normally stored in a hall wardrobe, such as a vacuum cleaner or sports equipment, find another place to put them. These things take up a lot of room, making the wardrobe seem crowded and too small for the buyer.

In an entryway hall wardrobe, put your coats on wooden hangers and be sure to leave a little bit of space between the clothes to say, “there’s plenty of room in here.”
