“Proper furniture placement shows a room to its best potential.”
Staging is more about the placement of furniture and accessories than it is about the pieces themselves. Homeowners usually have more than enough furniture and accessories to work with.
The biggest misconception about staging is that it’s expensive. For just the cost of a consultation, Act Two Home Staging provides a wealth of information, including furniture placement for each room, so that homeowners have the option of doing their own staging. Look at what these homeowners accomplished after a consultation!
The chandelier in this room was all wrong. It looked more like a repurposed dining room than a formal living room. More often than not, sectional sofas are hard to work with. A no cost solution is to separate the pieces. Draping a blanket over the side of the sofa will disguise the armless end. (In this case, the solution was not applied.) The coffee table, which was taken from another room, replaced the ottoman that was used in the second set of photos. (living room shown below)

The room looks so spacious and your eyes are drawn to the beautiful hardwood floor. (below)
