When sellers put their home on the market it is important that it is staged to be appealing to buyers. You may be only selling the home and not your furniture, but how you arrange your furniture can influence how potential buyers see your home.
Let’s Focus
Having a focal point in the room helps the appeal. Especially in living rooms it is important to make sure you have a focal point and arrange the furniture around it. Great focal points may be a fireplace, picture window, or a big screen TV. Make sure you arrange the furniture in a way that makes sense for the focal point.
Don’t Cramp My Style
Too much or too little furniture for a space may influence how buyers perceive the space. Having too much furniture in a room may make it seem smaller than it really is. If there is no or not enough furniture in a room, a buyer may question why that room is not used. Having the right balance of furniture for the space is essential so that buyers feel comfortable and can imagine living in the space. Also, make sure the furniture in the room makes sense for its intended use. A desk doesn’t make sense in the master bedroom but does make sense in a highschooler’s bedroom. Always make sure there is adequate light in a room and that there are no dark corners, something which will make a room appear smaller than it really is.
Let It Flow
Buyers need to be able to walk through your home in a flowing manner. You don’t want there to be barriers that make it hard for buyers to get in and out of a room. This is essential if you plan to hold open houses. You don’t want a traffic jam to occur. When arranging furniture imagine how potential buyers may walk through a room.
It’s Ok to Fool Around
Buy some furniture sliders and try different arrangements. Even experienced stagers try different arrangements in rooms before finding the one that works best. If you needs some ideas get an app that helps arrange your furniture. The right furniture arrangement will make any room look its best.
