Sometimes the joy in my work comes from successfully finding a solution when I’m staging a difficult room. Of course “difficult” is subjective. But when you’re preparing your home to sell, you don’t want to leave anything to chance, allowing unresolved problems to stir in your potential buyer’s mind and become a deterrent. Instead, address the challenge head on in advance.
 

This Killarney Calgary property we staged offered multiple challenges. Most notably, it turned out that the built-in headboard niche in the master bedroom was too small to fit a queen bed AND two bedside tables.
 

Plus, I knew that the room was big enough to more appropriately fit a king size bed, which would also create a sense of added value to meet the desires of what potential buyers would be looking for in that neighbourhood.
 

So this became a perfect example of how important it is to think outside the box (or, in this case, niche) when staging a difficult room to sell.
 

After lots of creative brainstorming, it was the C table that solved this problem. It’s not what would come to mind first when you think of bedside tables, but it was the perfect solution for this difficult room. We chose chrome and glass tables to add some glamour to the bedroom which felt like a natural fit for the feeling we were trying to create.
 

To finish it off, we placed a large piece of artwork across from the bed to balance out the size of the headboard. Colours from the artwork wereechoed in our choices of side chair and accessories. It became a cohesive space that made sense and therefore flowed.
 

After, when the potential buyers walked in the master bedroom, they would notice how bright, spacious, and luxurious it was as they were drawn to the unique private balcony. They would not get distracted by trying to figure out what to do with that niche.
 

Difficult room challenge solved.
