Livingroom Staging Manual

So you have a superbly staged exterior and the possible buyer is impressed. They enter your living room, what are they going to see? Although this area can take a lot of work, there is a lot of room to work with.

As always, begin staging with cleansing and a clear out. You mustn’t forget you are selling the area, not the owners’ life, and the area most determined by your lifestyle is usually the living room. You also need to remove all personal items such as the family photos as well as items that clutter the room such as your prized collections. Making the room seem open with lots of room is what a buyer wants to look at. Massive furniture needs to be replaced with small furniture either by renting or buying it. Also store those small pieces of furniture that mess the room. Any nonessential electrical goods such as a stereo and wiring need to be stored or disposed off.

If you have a wooden floor that looks great make sure it is noticeable. Rugs and small carpets can be places under furniture giving a nice border. If your flooring isn’t in great condition deliberate on covering with laminate alternatives, but make sure it looks good quality even if the cost was small.

Family and friends tend to assemble in the living room of any house therefore design the area with this in mind. Try to organize the furniture in a conversational way. To do this you need to take away any large items that can restrict the field of view. If you have a stove, it’s the general center point. If your room does not have one, then choose an alternative, for example a large window. Make sure there is room around furniture whilst making sure there is room to move around.

Rejuvenate the area with some detail. Place aesthetically pleasing paintings and ornaments in the area. A colorless area with a vibrant painting placed on it brings out the freshness of a area. Eye level features has the most aspired to effect. Fresh flowers or the odd plant are also a acceptable intention but too much is overpowering.

Your living room staging is almost finished and now you have to just underline the work with proper light. Direct light is always best so make sure your windows and the window ledges are as unrestricted from clutter. Use spot lighting to draw thought to the art and architectural features. Try and buy quality lighting that has a dimmer action to develop an mood on an evening.
