Home Staging Small Rooms

Home staging small rooms is actually much easier than staging large and expansive areas of the floor plan. Small rooms require wise choices in furnishings, far more than just excellent design sense. Being that space will be extremely limited in the smallest of rooms, it is necessary to select size appropriate furnishings and even make compromises on the exact way to stage the space, as far as usage and purpose.

Home Staging Small Rooms / Design

Small rooms require a sense of precise proportion. All furnishings must be appropriately sized for the room, without appearing diminutive or toy-like. Finding small scale furniture which still has the look of quality can be tough, but luckily can be achieved with some time and effort. In a small room, there is unlikely to be space for anything except one well defined focal point, so make sure to present that area in the best way possible. Lighting is particularly important in diminutive spaces, since small windows and fixtures can create a cave like look and feel. This will not win over any buyers…

Home Staging Small Spaces

It is a widely held belief that small rooms should be lightly colored, but this is purely a myth. Darker primary colors can be used throughout smaller spaces, within reason, but the overall effect must be balanced and aesthetically pleasing. Make sure to consider staging particularly small and challenging spaces for an alternative use. For example, rather than staging a tiny room as a bedroom, an organized and simple home office might be a better bet. This will preclude having to fill the space with a bed and furniture and will make the room feel larger and more appealing with a desk and storage cabinet. As a final piece of advice, try to draw the eyes up in small spaces to create the illusion of more space. This can be accomplished by crown moldings, high window treatments and upward lighting options, as well as paint effects and color.

Home Staging Small Rooms Advice

I stage many homes which feature some truly tiny rooms. This is really common in the apartments of New York City, where space is such a luxury… There are certainly ways to make a room look larger, but it is actually more important to project a sense of proportion into the room and make the space seem useful, rather than simply bigger. This is easily accomplished using home staging strategies geared towards small interior spaces. For more information about staging small spaces, consult with a home stager or consider hiring a property staging consultant if you are thinking about undertaking DIY staging.
