Final Staging 101!
Last up, we have a few tips from the family room and kitchen.
Something that I always do, is look at the spaces how the photographer is going to look at them. What are the best architectural features? Is there a view? Are there amenities that should be highlighted?
Then, ask yourself these questions: How will potential buyers navigate through the property? What do they see when they first walk into a room, what is the focal point?
Once you have the answer to these questions, you can set up the rooms appropriately.
For example, in the family room before, the loveseat blocked the pathway to the door that leads out to patio, it also crowds the room and makes it look smaller than it is. The simple solution was to remove the leather chair (we used that in the master bedroom) and put the sofa where the chair was, so know the entire side of the family room is open and unobstructed.
Secondly, the green bar stools blocked the sight-lines into the kitchen and the color and shape are distracting to the high end kitchen that is a selling feature! We replaced the green bar stools with four brown saddle style that tuck nicely under the bar. This leaves the view wide open and takes up less visual space, again making the room feel bigger.
I hope you have enjoyed these tips and at least one of them helps you in either staging or decorating your own home!
