Make a Sad Windowless Room Feel Cozy

January 29, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Does this room look familiar?

Before: Family room before staging.
 
 
 

Ever wonder why the Christmas video of a burning yule log became such a hit? It suggests warmth and comfort. Human psychology can feed on suggestion alone. That’s the reason home staging works.
 
As home stagers, we can use this power of suggestion to solve a lot of issues. One of these is how to make a windowless space feel appealing. Turn on lamps, ignite the fireplace, drape thick blankets on the sofa and throw a sheepskin rug on the floor. If a cozy space is the goal, make sure to appeal to people’s sense of comfort.
 
See the difference home staging makes.

After: At the end of a long day, this living room is the
perfect space to unwind.

Another way to create the illusion of a window is to hang a large picture of a nature scene in a place where a window would likely be found. This can simulate the sense of having a view, and the sun never sets on these nature scenes!
