How to arrange a living room.
We often see many posts (mine included) that speak to the importance of two very key rooms within the home; the kitchen and the master bedroom. And with reason - they are truly important areas of the home when you've placed your home on the market.
However, the living room is another "key" room that needs attention.
In this before and after example, you'll see that we leveraged the majority of the furniture items that the seller owned. The only furniture piece we added is the small stand next to the chair. In addition, the accessories played a key role in how the room appears after staging:

Interesting. It looks MUCH MUCH better in the second picture, without a doubt. Amazing you made that room look as good as it does with the seller's existing furniture.
