As a Calgary home stager, I provide lots of tips for staging properties. For most people, it’s helpful to have information quick and easy to keep track of. Room by room staging checklists are a perfect resource. In this post, I’ll address general tips for staging the living room.

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

Depending on the needs of your potential buyer and the options available in the home, the living room might also be staged to include a small office space, a family/media area or kid’s play area. It’s all about anticipating how the buyer will use the space.
