Small Ballard Condo "Lives Large!"

By
Home Stager with Staging Seattle, King & Snohomish Counties

Believe it or not, this 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo is only 600 square feet!  Prior to staging, potential buyers could not picture themselves living in such a small space.  Now the staged condo shows them how comfortable and roomy this petite in-city dwelling really is.  

Here are a few staging techniques that were used to make this space "live large":

In the living/dining room: 

  • We created a focal point for the living room with a sofa table, art and lighting.
  • The coffee table and sofa table are glass and iron, which take up little "visual space" in this tiny room.
  • The furniture is appropriately sized for the space.
  • The area rug grounds the conversation area.
  • The color palette throughout this condo was kept light and airy with creams, blues and beige.
  • A separate dining area is centered on the window and defined with the help of artwork and a plant.
  • Accessories were kept to a minimum.

 

 

In the bedroom:

  • That's a queen bed!  Show buyers the size of bed they will be able to fit in the space.
  • The window treatments let in loads of light, but not the view of the building next door, which is close by.
  • There is even room for a comfortable seating area with a beach inspired canvas chair and woven ottoman. 

 

In the bathroom:

  • The fresh, breezy color palette is continued, making the spaces in the condo feel cohesive and calm.
  • The shower curtain rod is hung close to the ceiling, making the ceiling appear higher.

In the kitchen:

  • The compact kitchen gets some greenery, a tray of coffee and some decorative accessories.  These items make this kitchen more visually appealing without overwhelming the space
