Outdoor Living Room Mirrors Indoors

August 03, 2014 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
You’ve heard the advice to “bring the outdoors in”. Well I say “bring the indoors out” too. When staging your property for sale, keep in mind that buyers want to feel comfortable in ALL spaces. So why not take inspiration from your rooms inside to create a fabulous outdoor living room that appeals to buyers.

Staging an outdoor living room when you’re preparing your property for sale is just plain smart. It doesn’t matter what size of space you’re working with: treating the outdoor space like an extra living area adds value. It’s important to stage the outdoor space with the potential buyers’ ideal lifestyle in mind. Same as for inside.
 
For this property that I staged in the Huntington Hills area of Calgary, I took inspiration from the indoor sunroom. But you will find a similar layout and general elements applied in most staged living rooms. This photo on the Set Your Stage Pinterest page from a home I staged in Evergreen gives a good example.
 
What are the shared elements?
 

  • Furniture: Both spaces have comfortable seating (couch, chairs) and a table to place items.
  • Focal Point: Inside, the focal point could be a fireplace or view. Outside it can be the dining area, play area or a beautiful landscape view.
  • Comfort: Cushions, throws, mats, plants, candles and décor items work outside as well as in.

Before: Bathroom before home staging.

Outdoor staging ideas can be inspired from anywhere. Keep potential buyers in mind and create comfort and personality.
