Decorative Items
If it fits in the palm of your hand and you use it daily, find a cupboard or a large decorative box and store it between uses. If you don't use it frequently, pack it up and get it out of sight.
Reason? When the average person first looks over a room, small objects snag the eye and interrupt the visual tour. Normally, the eye sweeps right over large objects.
Result? The interrupted visual tour is likely to leave buyers feeling the room is disjointed or confusing. This tends to translate into: I don't know how I can furnish that room. This is not good.
Collections
Collections of related objects are also distracting. Very distracting. The visual tour stops, even if all of the items in the collection are large.
Result? Because the distraction is longer, buyers tend to see the room as not only being confusing, but also smaller.
Visually sweep the room. Better, get someone who does not live there is stand at the door and look from one side to the other quickly. If they exclaim, "Oh, those figurines are lovely!", it is time to get out the bubble wrap.
Ask yourself (repeatedly, for every item in every room), "Am I marketing the room? Or am I marketing the figurines?"
