Transforming Family rooms to Elegant Enclaves

Arrangements “Pleasing to the Eye”


First, if there is Too much furniture in a room, it will look cluttered and appear smaller.

 

View each room first from the door that you enter. Most sellers when first editing (arranging the furniture), walk to the center of the room and look around, however, buyers first see the room from the door they enter. Therefore, make where you enter, your starting point, so you will see the room just as the buyer does for the first time.

 

Survey the room, checking to see if one or more piece of furniture could be removed. Psychology when you remove furniture it seems baron to you, however, in reality this is seldom true. You’re used to seeing it a certain way and any change throws you off.

Think out of the Box

 

  • Too little furniture is better than too much.

 

  • Every sofa or chair does not have to be against a wall.

 

  • Vary the lighting and have plenty of it. No dark or dungy areas.

 

 

 

 


Drapes and blinds open to show off view areas

 

Another Secret

When buyers first enter a room their eyes will automatically go to the slider or window with a view. Take advantage of this and make it a focal point.

 

  • Windows should be crystal clear.  If screens are not necessary, then remove the screen for a clearer view.

 

  • Flowers or plants tastefully placed about the view area helps accent the focal point. Outside and inside.

 

  • Trim back all shrubbery or trees that is blocking the view.
