Look at what can be accomplished with some expert advice during a home staging consultation!
- Removing the leather chair on the left side of the fireplace opened the view of the built in book shelves and opened up more space to use a larger sofa. The smaller cushion sofa was used in another room that was not as spacious.
- All family photos were removed eliminating some of the clutter and depersonalizing the space. Removing personal effects helps potential buyers picture their own family in the home.
- The bookshelves were edited to create a lighter, less cluttered look.
- The fireplace mantel was rearranged to create balance.
- The piano was moved to another room and one of the leather chairs and an accent table, were put in its place. A smaller, lighter colored chair replaced the dark leather one.
- The fireplace and bookshelves, which were the room’s focal point, now take center stage.
- The straw basket and blue bin filled with toys were stowed away.
The results: A spacious living room that sill provides the same amount of seating, a clear view of the focal point, improved traffic flow and an aesthetically pleasing space!
