Sitting Area in Bedrooms

By
Home Stager with Salazar Staging & Custom Interiors

Often times there will be plenty of space in a bedroom to include a sitting area.  This is a good selling point, but needs to be highlighted with furniture to SHOW potential buyers that there is sufficient space for this.  Once buyers can see how much furniture their rooms hold, they are more excited and satisfied that their own items will fit nicely.  We want to always remove any doubts prospective buyers have.  Look how much larger the room looks after we furnished it.

The room looks much bigger and doesn't leave the potential buyers wondering what to do with the space in front of the windows.

Why can't all sellers and agents understand that staging works. What a difference.

Melody,

I love to do sitting areas in master bedrooms.  I think it adds to the "retreat feeling" and in some cases can draw the buyer toward a great view, or outdoor living space.  You did a great job with this room.

Melody, I had rather see a home staged than empty. I think it shows more of the charter of the home when staged.

Melody, Looks awesome!  Love the colors!  We have some of those chocolate furry pillows. They are so plush and comfy!

Aloha Melody,

It has a very nostalgic feel to your stage, even though the furniture is not period specific. I feel there should be a big band orchestra playing softly in the back ground. Thanks for the post.

Peace,

Melody,

Looks great!  Very inviting.  I think Master bedrooms are always more welcoming when they have a retreat or sitting area. I use the same headboard too! Pier 1?
