 Before: living room & kitchen before home staging. |
| Feature both. Don’t block either. |
 After: This cozy open concept living & dining room is the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing. |

When I staged this attractive infill duplex in Calgary, there were two living room features that I wanted to highlight: the gas fireplace and the view to the beautiful yard through the large glass doors. Notice that they are not on the same wall. Therein lies the challenge. In your room, it could be two other equally desirable features. The same approach will apply. Small furniture: This allows you to have more flexibility with furniture placement. In this example, a person can imagine sitting in front of the fireplace watching television or snuggling up with a book just as easily as sitting with a cup of coffee relaxing while watching birds visit a backyard feeder. Glass: Tables with glass tops allow the eye to flow toward the area being featured. The blue bowl on the table visually connects with the blue throw on the slipper chair which leads the eye toward the glass doors and beyond. From a different angle, the same blue bowl connects with the tones in the picture above the fireplace to feature that area of the room. |
 After: This cozy open concept living & dining room is the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing. |
