How to stage SMALL Room

A queen bed as a day bed pushed against the wall...It is getting late but there is a lot of posts already here that will help you soooooo much. I will try to get back to you tomorrow but the girls know what I am talking about and someone did a beautiful drapery behind the bed...was that you Judy or Maureen? Anyway...see you later.

Stage it forward! 

hey

 do you have a pic?

Hi Carmen, I am staging a home today where the master bedroom is 12 x 12 and the owners name is Carmen, too funny. It will be difficult for buyers to judge the size of the room if there isn't at least a bed to act as a point of reference. If the room is empty potential buyers will scrutinize the flooring, condition of the walls and the lighting fixture. A properly staged room actually looks bigger. Use nice linens, pillows and a few props to create an inviting, restful retreat to entice buyers. A double bed would be more in scale with the room. Use something that hangs on the wall as a headboard to gain valuable inches of space. A large mirror (be aware of what it reflects) would also be of benefit. My advice would be to keep it simple. If at all possible use a wide angle lens for photos. I hope this helps.  Jackson

Carmen,

I would echo what Jackson said. I might try to down play the size by using a full size bed (maybe that is the same as a double?) anyway, I would really WOW them with a great bed set and then maybe a tray with something on it like a couple of glasses and a champagne bottle or for those opposed to alcohol maybe a couple of coffee cups, a french coffee press, and a rolled up copy of the New York Times or the New Yorker magazine.
