Natural light can be your best friend here.
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.
Make your living room SHINE by drawing attention to unique items in it.
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.
Arrange the furniture in your space to where it looks like buyers could carry on an easy conversation in that space.
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.

Give your living room space a natural feel by incorporating flowers or plants.
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.

Give your space a pop of color.
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.
I get it, this may sound like a lot of work, but it doesn't have to feel that way. Call a real estate agent in Lake Ozark who has been through this before and who can stage your home for you! I genuinely enjoy helping people through this process, so please give me a call today at 573-216-8439.
