Problem Rooms?  Don't Leave Them Empty!

 

If a room is a problem for owners, it will be a problem for buyers!

 

Just because YOU can't figure out what to do with your small or awkward rooms doesn't mean you should leave it empty when the house goes on the market.  In fact, that's when you SHOULD get it furnished.  A professional Home Stager can work with any space and give it function, flow, and flavor!

 

Here's a home right off the beach in Milford, CT.  Quirky, yet with powerful industrial chic elements, the architecture included this long, narrow living room that the owners never furnished; it's nine feet wide.  Nestings Home Staging CT planned this space using furnishings that echoed the rest of the house and the coastal location.

 

Before

Before:  "Bowling Alley"

After:  Plenty of room for seating and easy movement through the space.

The staging of that room made a tremendous difference!  It will likely make a huge difference in successfully marketing the home.

Very nicely done.  Having the furniture in the room completely made it look more functional

Staging did make a difference- the furniture married the clean lines of the home.

Julia - love what you did with this room.

I too encourage my clients to stage main areas BUT ALSO the awkward rooms.

Potential buyers would be stumped with what to do with this space. The last thing you want is doubt or confusion in a buyer's mind!  Well done, Julia!
