When it comes to staging, more stuff doesn’t mean more style. In fact, one of the most powerful ways to make a home feel spacious and welcoming is by editing the furniture.
Staging Tip: Keep only the key pieces that define the function of the room and allow for easy movement.
For example, in a living room:
- A sofa
- A coffee table and end tables
- One or two accent chairs
- Remove extra book cases, display cabinets, extra love seats and recliners, and ensure each room has a single purpose.
Why it works:
Too much furniture shrinks a room visually and physically. When you simplify, you’re not just creating space — you’re creating possibility. Buyers can more easily imagine their own lives (and furniture!) in the home.
Remember: You’re not just staging a room. You’re staging a lifestyle. Keep it simple. Keep it spacious. Keep it smart.
