Home Staging - Solutions for Decorating A Small Living Room


One of the distinct advantages sellers have when staging their vacant home is that not only will the home be visually more appealing, it also provide solutions to the prospective buyers on how to decorate.

 

This is the living room of a home we staged this week:

Solutions for decorating a small living room:

  • Start with the scale of the furniture - In this example, we chose a smaller size sofa so that we could accommodate an end table.
  • Choose the right colors - By design, we chose light colors for both the sofa and the throw pillows as bolder colors typically have a way visually consuming the space.
  • Light it Up - Ample lighting will help also help expand the space.  Floor lamps are a great solution for small living rooms
  • Keep it Simple - Be selective in the accessories you bring in.  For small rooms, you want to ensure the scale of the accessories are appropriate for the space.
These solutions were brought to you by HomeStagingAtlanta, Atlanta's Premier Home Staging Provider.  For more examples of our work, visit our Home Staging Atlanta Portfolio.

Thanks, Wendy.  The lamps are some of my favorite.

Kathy ~ the classic and simple lines of this staging make the space seem larger, and I love the color palette you used.  Very, very appealing, as usual!

I ran across a family room yesterday that was barely big enough for a loveseat and chair, what are builders thinking?

 Great Stage! There has been increased consideration given to smaller homes nationwide for a number of reasons. Not to say that "bigger is better" is a thing of the past. But for many, consideration is being given to the simple concept that "smaller is preferred".
