Simple Ways to Stage Your Living Room

If you're planning to sell your home at the Lake of the Ozarks, staging has a HUGE impact. While it may seem overwhelming to stage your entire home, don't worry - focus on the main spaces of your house. The living room is a great place to start in the staging process. No matter what stage in the home selling process you're in, staging can add to your selling efforts. To learn some EASY ways to transform your living room, see the staging tips provided below.


Highlight Special Features


If your living room has a special feature, ensure you highlight this space. Whether it's a beautiful built in bookshelf or a stunning fireplace, you want to make unique features the focal point of a room. Make sure the item you are featuring is part of the home - not an item that you plan to take with you, like a large television. Many times special features like these will be a major selling point for potential buyers.

Bring Nature In


Try to incorporate natural elements into your staging efforts. Place a vase of fresh flowers on the coffee table or a potted plant near a bookshelf to bring nature into your home. Don't spend a ton of money on this step - you can grab a few flowers from the garden and potted plant that you can enjoy, after you move.

Accent with Colors


While a neutral space is ideal and appeals best to the largest number of buyers, you can accent your space with pops of color. There are a number of ways to add color to your living room. From a few colorful throw pillows on the couch to a nice piece of wall art, there are endless possibilities when it comes to adding color to your neutral living room space.

Create a Social Setting


Try to arrange your living room furniture in a group setting, to allow easy conversation flow. This helps showcase the living room as the ideal space to gather with friends and family and allows potential buyers to picture themselves in socializing in this room.

Clean It Up


A clean space is essential, when selling your home. Instead of panicking when a buyers schedules a showing of your home, try to keep it tidy all the time, when it is for sale. Take a long look at your living room floors - ensure they are spic and span for buyers to see.

Allow In Natural Light


Consider adding sheer curtains to your living room windows, allowing as much natural light in as possible. Natural light helps a room appear larger, in many cases. If you have a dark corner in your living room, even with the window light, you can incorporate a floor or table lamp for added light. You want your living room to be a well-lit place to create the ideal setting for potential buyers.

Eliminate Personal Items


Before you show your home, remove family photos and any personal items from your living room space. This can help potential buyers more easily picture their family in your space, without your items in the space. Take advantage of this step and start packing away your personal items, to get a head start on your move!
