Home Staging Tips: Using "Extra" Rooms Wisely

7/28/2016

The extra rooms in a house, that are the multipurpose room or a guest/office room. Those rooms make it hard for a potential buyer to see the room itself, when they are trying to figure out what the room is trying to be!
​

If you have been using a spare bedroom as a dumping ground for odd pieces of furniture and boxes of junk, it's time to clean them up. Each room should have a clearly defined purpose, so think about what potential buyers might like to see here. An office? A guest room? Another kids' room? Whether you buy inexpensive furnishings, rent them, or borrow some from friends, making a real room out of a junk room will have a big payoff!

Home Staging Tips: Vary Wall Hangings

Vary Wall Hangings

If your home is like most, the art is hung in a high line encircling each room. Big mistake.

Placing your pictures, paintings and prints in such stereotypical spots can render them almost invisible.

Art displayed creatively makes it stand out and shows off your space. So break up that line and vary the patterning and grouping.

Home Staging Tips: Furniture Grouping

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be providing some home staging tips and tricks to help your home sell faster and for more money!

Furniture Grouping:

There's a common belief that rooms will feel larger and be easier to use if all the furniture is pushed against the walls, but that isn't the case.
Picture
​Instead, furnish your space by floating furniture away from walls. Reposition sofas and chairs into cozy conversational groups, and place pieces so that the traffic flow in a room is obvious. Not only will this make the space more user-friendly, but it will open up the room and make it seem larger.
