 Before: Living room before home staging.  Before: Living room before home staging. Colour Use pops of colour (in this case red) to draw the eye to a new feature area in the room. This distracts the potential buyer from immediately focussing on the corner fireplace and allows new angles to be created to promote traffic flow and ideal furniture placement. |
 After: The red cushions tie in to the red chairs that draw your eyes to the feature in this living room: the corner fireplace.  After: The red chairs, accessories and artwork draw your eyes to the feature in this living room: the corner fireplace. Ideally the fireplace remains the focal point and furniture is arranged accordingly (pulled away from the walls, 90 degrees to the fireplace or directly across). In this case, it’s not that straight forward because the glass door is beside the corner fireplace. To keep traffic flow, a clear path needs to remain to the right of the fireplace and also in front of it. So the couch is placed on an angle to visually connect with the chairs, despite being on opposite sides of the room. Mirror Placing a mirror above the fireplace helps to reflect light from the glass door to the opposite side of the room, visually connecting and brightening the space. Glass Tables Unlike wood, glass lets the light fill the space and keeps it airy. This is also important for a sense of easy traffic flow in the example room. Sometimes a room just doesn’t feel right and we can’t figure out why. If you need help working with a corner fireplace or similar challenge, contact Jen today. |
