To make a bedroom feel calm, comfortable and cozy: add a throw on top of the comforter. Extra pillows always help make a bed feel cozy as well. Choose colours that aren’t too bright as you need to feel relaxed in bedrooms, not overwhelmed.

Staging A Dining Area

Don’t be afraid to move artwork around when staging any space. By re-purposing the mirror that was in the front entry for the dining area, we now get a double take on the beautiful artwork that was above the china cabinet.

The proper height to hang art: take the center of the artwork and it should measure 5′-2″ from the floor.

Bedrooms are such a personal space. This is why it’s so important to de-personalize and stage every bedroom in your home. You want buyers to feel they could be relaxing in this space, not uncomfortable to even think about walking into the room because it’s someone else’s space. To make your bedroom feel welcoming, try switching up the artwork to something neutral and always make the bed.

Staging An Office

Before deciding to stage an office – make sure the space has been architecturally designed to be an office/den/bonus room (ie don’t stage a bedroom as an office if your agent is advertising it as a bedroom). An easy way to make an office or any other space feel organized: put anything loose into baskets on your shelving. Make sure all cupboards are neatly organized as well, if you cram items inside it will look like your space has no storage.
