Home Staging Large Rooms

Home staging large rooms can be challenging and rewarding, since proper staging will enhance the impressive size of an open space. It is crucial to understand the rules of flow and proportion when staging any room, and extra large sized areas can present unique problematic issues in certain cases. A perfectly staged room should look balanced and aesthetic, but never cluttered or busy. Finding a happy medium in the largest of rooms can test the skills of even the best home stager.

Home Staging Large Rooms / Design

The key to staging a large area is to divide it up into smaller sections using groupings of furniture, art and lighting. Each area should have a specific and easily identifiable purpose to present a functional and pleasing look and feel in the room. Large spaces tend to eat up furniture and decorative accessories, so scale is paramount. Make sure to choose big, simple pieces to truly make a statement in the room, since smaller and more detailed furnishings will look odd and out of place. Do not forget that open space plays a huge role in staging large sized rooms. The true size and scope of a room can only be fully appreciated if there is significant empty space in between staged groupings.

Home Staging Large Rooms / Concerns

It is a common tendency to put too many objects in a room, when the better solution is to place fewer, but larger and aesthetically heavier items. Highlight the architectural details of the room with proper furniture and vignette placement. Large rooms themselves should be the star of the design plan, so I tend to keep furnishings simple, bold and appropriate to the style, but not use particularly showy or detailed individual pieces. It is crucial to move the furniture away from the walls in most staging applications, but it is particularly vital in staging big interior spaces. Bringing the furniture into the room and off the walls helps to define the specific areas of the room and provides a more useful and attractive décor.

Home Staging Large Rooms Advice

Large rooms can be intimidating and become a real headache for inexperienced stagers or DIY stagers. Never forget that the purpose of a big space is to enjoy the room, not fill it to the point of clutter…

My advice for staging big rooms is simple. Find and define the focal point of the room with the appropriate furnishings. Set off the focal point by staging several smaller groupings for specific and defined uses. Most of all, use size-appropriate items which will not get lost in the cavernous space. Following these simple rules will make even the largest of interior staging jobs simple and effective.
