Dividing the spaces in a small place

 

It's an age-old problem with small houses: how do you make the spaces look larger and more functional so the spaces don't seem so SMALL??

This problem is even tougher in a condo where all the spaces are small. Cindy Montgomery in our Showhomes Minneapolis office emailed me these photos to explain how she divides up small spaces and uses small-footprint furniture to enlarge a room:


I believe that the more activites a buyer can see themselves doing in a space, large or small, the more attracive the home becomes. Great job, Cindy!

Adding the furniture made this space looks SO much larger!

Please tell Cindy that she did a wonderful job.

Congratulations. This home staging is being featured in the Active Rain group called Staging Before & After Pictures.

Thomas thanks for your post. Cindy did a great job. Excellent use of the space. I am pretty sure the typical buyer would not have been able to imagine that but seeing it for real truly adds to the appeal of the home and thus improves its saleability. Great job!

Cindy is also lucky to have you as a fan promoting her work.

Beautifully layed out and Staged.  Really looks great for entertaining...one big space became three useful areas for lots of people to sit and enjoy.  Cindy really did a great job!!!

Good space planning. Now the buyer can see how they would use the space. I find that you can typically fit way more furniture in a small space than people can imagine if the furniture is the right configuration and the correct scale. Looking forward to seeing more small spaces.

Really shows how the buyers can "live" there. Looks like there is plenty of room to hang out!
