TRUE or FALSE: Empty rooms (or vacant homes) look larger and let the prospective buyer image their own furnishings and belongings in the space.
FALSE! Creatively arranged furniture and accessories can actually make a room look and feel larger. And believe it or not, most people lack the ability to imagine their own furnishings in an empty space.
If you can, stage your vacant property with a few pieces of your own furniture, or if need be, borrow or rent furniture instead. If that’s not possible, try to design simple “vignettes” in key rooms to create the “illusion” of furniture. (See the photos above for a better idea.) Even minimally staged rooms will show better and create positive feelings about your property. This is a strategy that I have used with many of my customers. It’s a very affordable option, even if you hire a professional stager to do it. It’s even kinder to your budget if you do it yourself.
If you have questions about this idea, let me know. Good luck!
