## Interior Staging Strategies from Erik Cavarra
**Declutter Ruthlessly**

**Mountain Modern Palette**

**Light It Well**
Snowmass Village homes can be dark in winter. Erik Cavarra ensures that every light fixture is working, bulbs are warm-white, and natural light is maximized by keeping window treatments open during showings.
**Kitchen and Bath Focus**
In Snowmass Village 81615, kitchens and primary bathrooms are deal-makers or breakers. Erik Cavarra ensures counters are clear, grout is clean, fixtures are polished, and staging accessories (fruit bowl, quality towels) are fresh.
