Before & Afters: Staging helps sell an Occupied home in Portland OR

Recently Room Solutions Staging in Portland Oregon was selected to stage an occupied home.  The sellers were very motivated since they'd purchased another home and were anxious to move.  Their home was in excellent condition but needed staging expertise to improve traffic flow and redefine the purpose of some rooms, working with the sellers' items and adding a few of our accessories.  Here are some Before & After photos:

The Living room seemed overcrowded, causing it to appear small; removing some pieces made a big difference and opened up the space:

The Dining room was being used as an overflow seating area for the living room -- but after staging, showed potential buyers what a nice dining room it is for entertaining:

The Nursery's furniture placement made the room seem smaller; we opened up the space and added some colorful accessories:

The sellers and their broker were very happy with the staging, and even happier with the quick sale that followed!

Hi Maureen,

I did a similiar redesign for my girlfriends house. It was amazing what a difference it made to turn the dinning room back into a real dining room. great job as usual.

I am amazed at how big the living room looks after a few pieces of furniture are removed.  And it's good to see the dining room being shown as a dining room!

 Great staging!

Teresa ~ Thanks for your comment!

Susan ~ When selling, it's better to show a dining room's true purpose isn't it?

Karen ~ Thanks for your nice remarks ... this was a fun project with very nice sellers.

Kristina ~ We removed several pieces from the living room, and re-arranged the remaining ones, to create twice as much space as before.  Just a few changes does make such an improvement for selling.  Thanks for stopping by.

Maureen, all the rooms look so much better. I love the living room and I like the accent pieces over the crib.

Tanya ~ Thank you for your feedback.  We suggested what the seller should buy for the baby's room to give it more color & appeal, then we put them in place.

You really polished these rooms, Maureen! The living room arrangement really opens the room, dining room looks pristine, and the nursery now looks finished with just a few additions. Excellent buyer appeal.
