Bedroom Preparation Tips
- Clean Bedsheets: Ensure bedsheets are clean and free of stains.
- Bedside Clearing: Remove unnecessary items from the bedside.

Door Access and Blinds
- Accessible Doors: Ensure all doors can be fully opened to allow light and create a sense of flow.
- Blind Management: Open blinds to showcase views and natural light effectively.
Miscellaneous Considerations
