Family Room Staging

family-room-staging-1

Family room staging is an important consideration when trying to get your home ready for the real estate market. A beautiful family room is one of the most vital areas of the home and is a mainstay on the wish list of virtually every potential buyer. Using home staging to prepare your family room for sale is not only advised, it is almost a necessity, in order to distinguish your home from its considerable competition and set the ideal atmosphere to invite fast and profitable offers on the residence.

This guide helps to provide a blueprint on enhancing any family room to make it more appealing to potential buyers.

Family Room Staging Woes

Family rooms are notorious for collecting the clutter which is inherent to any multi-purpose room in the home. Every member of the family wants to feel at home and typically leaves behind lots of their possessions in this shared space.  This clutter can make most family rooms seem like disorganized junk collections, instead of warm and inviting abodes.

Additionally, many family rooms are dominated by large home theater set-ups, including big screen TVs. This can really sap the life out of the space and can make designing an environment with universal appeal very difficult for even the most talented home stager.

 

Family Room Staging Guidelines

Here are some of my very favorite home staging strategies which are applicable to most any family room settings:

Begin by decluttering the space. Remove almost everything and store personal items where they belong. Also, remove any extraneous furniture and accessories which give the space a disorganized and haphazard look and feel.

Depersonalize the room with a fresh coat of neutral paint in a warm tone.

Consider proportion when replacing furniture in its new placement. Try to keep seating surfaces away from the walls to provide intimacy in the space and use vignettes to bridge the frontiers between furniture groupings.

Even though this is a family room, make sure to give it a sophisticated look which will appeal to adult buyers.

Try to hide away electronics in covered storage and mount flat screen televisions on the wall for an updated look. Fake flat screen units are even available as part of your furniture rental package.

Make sure to clean really thoroughly and do everything to create a balanced and beautiful style in the room.

Remember not to design with your own taste in mind, but instead, consider a contemporary and neutral feel that will delight potential buyers.

 

Family Room Staging Assistance

Designing an idyllic family room is not too difficult. Generally, in order to boost the desirability of this valuable space, the room needs to be thinned out of extra furniture and decluttered to make the space seem larger. In some homes, there is a family room, a den and a formal living room. In these cases, be sure to stage each room for a separate and distinctive purpose. If you only have one family room, then your options are limited. Go with a compromise of form and function, featuring practical but fashionable choices in furniture, art and accessories.

To learn more about enhancing the family room in your residence, meet with a home stager or staging consultant to plan a real estate marketing project which is sure to provide substantial financial benefits.
