Angled Sofa Used For Successful Home Staging

January 06, 2014 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Does this room look familiar?

Before: Living room before home staging.

Sometimes when you’re staging a property for sale, it pays to think outside the box. Moving furniture away from walls can actually make a room feel larger. An angled sofa in a living room may be unexpected, yet it may be just what you need to highlight key selling features that appeal to potential buyers.
 
See the difference home staging makes.

After: This cozy open concept living & dining room is the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing.

Take this living room I staged in Calgary for example. The angled sofa, grounded by a large area rug, helped to create a cozy conversation area that drew people in when they walked into the room. With the angled placement of the matching chair, people sitting in both spots would have a perfect view of the lovely outdoor areas of this home.
 
Colourful artwork on the back wall helped to create a feeling of symmetry. A tree placed in a back corner added height and a natural appeal. The space felt bright and airy, while at the same time calm and cozy.
 
Note the traffic flow. With the angled sofa strategically placed, potential buyers could easily and naturally be drawn to the sliding glass doors that lead outside to the deck. The backyard was a key selling feature of this home, and the angled sofa helped to create a seamless connection between the inside and outside spaces.
 
As a professional home stager in Calgary, an angled sofa is just one of the strategic tools I use when staging a property for sale. Want to know more? Keep up with all our latest tips.
