Five Simple Living Room Staging Tips

If you're getting ready to put your house on the market, chances are you're considering how it will appear to buyers. When buyers tour your home and can really imagine themselves living there, you'll have a much easier time selling it.

​The living room is one room that shouldn't be overlooked when staging your home. Here are five simple tips for staging your living room so buyers will fall in love with your home. 

1. Let There Be Light

Buyers appreciate when a room, especially a living room, feels light and airy instead of dark and dim. When tours are given, have the curtains open and turn on lamps to illuminate dark corners. It's also a good idea not to block windows with furniture. 

2. Utilize Mirrors

Along with reflecting both natural and light and making a room appear larger during the day and night, mirrors make a room feel more open, and add instant depth and dimension to a room. Try hanging a mirror or two so it reflects the outdoors. Mirrored furniture such as cabinets and buffets can help a room feel larger as well. 

3. Add Greenery

There's no doubt about it, a few plants or floral arrangements can breathe fresh life into a space and bring the outside in. Plants can be incorporated in large and small ways. Try adding a small succulent to a knickknack arrangement or use a larger tree in a corner to flank a room and hide cables and wires. 

4. Infuse Pops of Color in Accents

Accents like pillows, flowers, and blankets are the perfect objects for bright pops of color without seeming too overwhelming. Pops of color in accents can add a lot of life to a neutrally painted and decorated room. 

5. Use Small Couches and Chairs

Smaller sofas and chairs help make a room feel bigger. Try clustering them in areas together to allow buyers to imagine conversation areas.
