A vacant room NEVER shows as well as a furnished one because potential buyers cannot envision what scale of furnishings will fit and how to lay them out for optimal flow. This dining room underwent a complete staging transformation including painting an accent wall, and adding a lighting fixture, a rug, furniture and decorative pieces. The dining table was also placed slightly off-center to optimize the traffic flow between the dining room and adjacent kitchen and living room. Now, the room actually looks larger and potential buyers can picture how their furniture would fit.
