Livingroom/Familyroom Before and After - The Heart of every Home

By
Home Stager with Design2Sell

The heart of every Home is the place where a family or homeowner will relax, play, communicate and entertain. The Sanctuary for spending time with family friends and loved ones.

When potential home buyers walk through the living room area of a home, they should be able to see themselves engaging in these activities.

Some Key Principles:

  • Define the great features of the room and play them.
  • Create a warm and inviting Living Environment
  • Maximizing space, arrange furniture for the best possible flow
  • Making it conducive to conversation / entertaining.

Always step back to the doorway and evaluate your final results. Nothing should be obstructing the view and highlights should pop but never distract. When buyers walk through the room, they should want to sit down and spend time in it.

If they sit and or spent more time, then we are one step closer towards a possible offer.

 

We are staging vacant homes, but sometimes I enjoy the challange of an occupied property. That one has been featured in the June Home Improvement Magazine

Barbara,

Great key points and really nice before and afters.  Many sellers feel that furniture alone will sell a house.  We can clearly see by your Staging that it's the careful planning and the creative eye that you have that made the difference for these rooms.  Really nice work!!!
