At Featherington Interiors, we understand that when staging your living room for a home sale, it's crucial to adopt a different approach. Buyers want to envision the living room as their own, not as someone else's family space, and 90% of buyers cannot envision an empty space as their own.
Home staging is the key to allowing buyers to fully appreciate the space on offer, offering that finishing touch to showcase the full potential of the room. As living rooms are focal points of homes, staging them effectively becomes essential.
Many real estate agents agree that proper staging can boost the listing price, reduce time on the market, and increase the likelihood of selling above the asking price – compelling benefits for sellers or those looking to let for HMO or SA.
Implementing living room staging ideas correctly is vital. Here are some tips:
Focus on Layout:
Pay attention to creating the right layout, avoiding overcrowding or leaving the space too bare.
Adapt the staging approach based on the room size. Smaller living rooms benefit from fewer furniture pieces and the use of mirrors for an illusion of more space, while larger ones may need additional seating or larger statement pieces.
Use Buyer-Friendly Decor:
Replace personal items or empty spaces with modern decor that appeals to a broad range of buyers.
Introduce decorative candles, statement pieces, mirrors, or plants to enhance visual appeal.
Adopt a Neutral Colour Palette:
While bright colours and patterns can be fun, stick to neutral colours for larger elements (sofas/tables etc). Use vibrant colours in accent pieces and accessories instead.
Create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere by maintaining a neutral colour scheme.
Brighten Up the Room:
Maximize natural light by allowing it through windows and doors. Natural light contributes to a welcoming atmosphere.
If artificial lighting is necessary, ensure uniformity in the type of light and wattage. A mix of different bulbs can create an inconsistent look that might be off-putting to potential buyers.
Remember, staging is about creating a universally appealing living space that allows potential buyers to imagine themselves living there.
