Transform Furniture: How to Stage a Home on a Budget

November 05, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Does this room look familiar?

Before: Living room before home staging.

Wonder how to stage a home on a budget? Working with what you have is the best place to start. Like furniture. With a small investment, dated furniture can be easily updated to reflect a more contemporary feel that appeals to potential buyers. Transforming furniture is a popular topic on how to stage a home on a budget.
 
See the difference home staging makes.

After: This cozy L-shaped living & dining room is the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing.

I recently staged a vacant home in Acadia, Calgary that had a really modern/contemporary vibe. In my furniture rental stock, I own a very stylish black leather sofa wanted to use it for staging this property. The only catch? The legs had a more traditional vibe than modern/contemporary. So I turned to one of my favourite local Kensington, Calgary suppliers, Metro Element.
 
My goal was to replace the existing plain brown legs on the sofa with stunning metallic ones. I ordered four 4.75″ polished chrome legs and then got busy transforming the couch. Watch the Set Your Stage YouTube video “Sofa Leg Update” to see the “before and after” of this quick and easy project. How much did home staging help this property? “We sold it in one week and ended up with 5 offers. A big thank you for your help and professionalism in staging the property for my clients.”
 
As you can see, it’s easy to stage a home on a budget when you work with what you have and think of creative ways to update and re-use it. Contact Jen at Set Your Stage in Calgary to arrange your personalized Home Staging Consultation, and learn more concrete ways to stage your home on a budget.
