When it comes to preparing your home or condo for sale, you may be wondering how much furniture you should leave (or add) in each room for optimal impact. It’s sort of like in the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. Not too little. Not too much.
 

Your goal is “just right”. So what does that mean?
 

A staging professional can walk through your home and guide you toward your “just right”, specifying how much furniture makes sense in your space (as well as its ideal placement). These low cost staging consultations are a popular choice for home sellers who aren’t hesitant to implement the staging suggestions themselves.
 

Often, less is more. It’s not uncommon that I will suggest that sellers remove furniture from their rooms (like I did for this McKenzie Towne property which is now sold).
 

I’m not talking about pure minimalism. And I don’t suggest leaving rooms empty. You want to:

• show enough furniture to clearly identify the purpose of the room,
• suggest the ideal furniture layout,
• create a sense of spaciousness and ease in movement, and
• leave enough space for potential buyers to understand that their own furniture could fit when they move in.

Use art and accessories to add life, but don’t overdo it.
