Simple Living Room Staging Tip #1: Thin Out Your Furniture Collection

Your living room should appear as large as possible when you’re selling your home, and the best way to ensure that happens is to thin out your furniture collection. If you have furnishings that interrupt natural walking paths or that make your space appear crowded, put them in storage until you sell your home.

And while we were discussing furniture, take a moment to give your furnishings a once over. If you have furniture that’s seen better days, such as a recliner from the last century, you may want to stash it away until you move. The idea is to show buyers that you have an updated space, and although they know your belongings will go with you when you leave, it’s a good idea to make your living room as stylish as possible before you sell.

Simple Living Room Staging Tip #2: Create a Focal Point

Every room in your home should have a focal point. In the living room, that may be a fireplace, a beautiful window or a stunning piece of art. If you’re not sure what should serve as a focal point in your living room, step inside the room and see what you notice first. Then, put yourself in a buyer’s shoes; what would you want to see first?

The idea behind home staging is to make your space look like a model home. Think about how it looked when you bought it and try to emulate that.

Simple Living Room Staging Tip #3: Take Down Personalized Decor

Buyers want to be able to envision themselves living in your space, but that can be tough to do if you have personalized decor everywhere. Home stagers all agree that you should remove personalized decor before you list your space for sale. That means taking down personal photos, kitschy sayings and even collections. You should also remove anything that could be considered controversial, such as politically themed decor or anything a prospective buyer might consider “racy.”

Simple Living Room Staging Tip #4: Demolish Clutter

clutter only hurts home sales. Go through your living room and make sure the remote controls are corralled, books are neatly stacked on shelves, and other items are put in their proper places. In fact, you should do this in every room of your home to make it more appealing to prospective buyers.

Simple Living Room Staging Tip #5: Use Live Plants

Bringing in live plants can work wonders for a home’s environment. In your living room, aim for one to three plants that have universal appeal. Some of the most popular plants to use in home staging include peace lilies and mother-in-law’s tongue, because both of these are simple to care for and provide a fabulous splash of style. If you can’t use live plants in your home staging, consider putting fresh cut flowers on tables or the fireplace mantel.
