Clearing the floor is the first task. Then tackle painting the walls; just remember to take it one step at a time.

Colors, decorations and more

Many realtors will tell you to keep your color scheme neutral. That can be tough with kids. If you have a heavily themed room, simply pack some things away. Sometimes there is enough time to paint but this is not a priority. Try to incorporate the neutral colors from another spot into this room.
