Weekend Home Staging Feature: Consider the Room's Functionality

Whether you live in Denver, Colorado or Houston, Texas you need to show the functionality of the room.  Catchall/guest bedroom/home office/storage rooms don't sell homes!  In this example, shared with us by professional Home Stager, Cindy Bryant, the "bedroom" was staged as a home office/study. 

Now the room has a function and it makes an impact on the buyers!

Bedroom Becomes Study After Staging

Bedroom staged as a study gives new purpose when selling.  A while back, I came across these photos from a townhome that Redesign Etc. staged years ago but these still show how to re-purpose a room.  This particlular room was on the lowest level, and had become a catchall that wasn't being used for guests anyway.  We were able to move and rearrange the sellers furnishings around to make this into a more functional room. Being able to use the homeowners existing furniture was a huge budget saver!  They didn't have alot of accessories, so we had to use them sparingly for this room.

In this part of Houston, most of the lower level rooms are used for study's or multi-purpose rooms. Since it's the only access to the backyard, there also needed to be a path or flow to the back door.  This was also the first room you saw when you entered the front door.   Staging it was important to let buyers know they could use as a study since there was no other space for a home office and no built-ins with a desk.  

Just a simple example of how home stagers can redesign or define the space of a house for sale and give it new purpose with a new look.

Thanks Foerster Team for the feature.  This space worked really well as an study/getaway, since the house only had one living area and plenty of bedrooms.  You're absolutely right, buyers want to see how the space can function.  Rearranging and re-purposing a room can be very beneficial for the seller to try!

Cindy~ We also need to remove distractions.  When the room is used as a catchall the buyer spends too much time trying to figure out what the room is supposed to be.
