Staging A Room By It’s Function

I recently staged a lavish and sprawling historic estate at 3304 SE Biddle Rd. It was 7708 Sq. ft, with eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The downside to a luxury home like this is that when it’s shown empty it can be difficult for a potential buyer to keep all the rooms straight.

There were fireplaces in the Living Room, Dining Room, Family Room and Master Bedroom. Because of their similar layouts, and fireplaces as a focal point, in a quick walkthrough these rooms looked strikingly similar.

 By staging to emphasize the purpose of each room I was able to make them distinctive and memorable by grounding the room to its function. On top of that I worked to do some quick modernizing and neutralizing updates with the staging to help a buyer see the potential to make the home their own.
