| Stage rooms for their most common function. In this downtown loft, the buyer had their furniture in unique locations. Because most buyers would want the living and dining areas between the kitchen and outdoor patio, we moved the furniture around and added a few more pieces so buyers wouldn’t be confused. |

 |
| Another fun loft got some additional furniture to define the spaces. |
 |
| Try not to have backs of sofas facing the entry to the room. They can make buyers feel unwelcomed and don’t photograph well. In both of these instances, the fireplace feels more like the focal point of the room, as it should! |

| Sometimes really large rooms are hard for buyers to envision furniture placement. Here, rental furniture clearly defines the space. |
 |
| Don’t have the time or money to replace dated wallpaper? It’s not ideal to leave wallpaper, but you can make the best of it with staging. Because the wallpaper creates a lot for the buyers to take in, reduce all other clutter in the room. Use nuetral furnishings with just a hint of the wallpaper color in the accessories. And increase the light with open draperies and lamps. |

| This room felt quite dark, so adding lighter rental furniture and lamps made it much more inviting. |

| Don’t have the time or money to replace dated carpet? First, declutter. The carpet is enough of a distraction that all other distractions need to be minimized. Second, make all of the other surfaces and large furniture pieces as nuetral as possible. Here the seller was willing to remove wallpaper and bring in some nuetral furniture. Third, use modern accessories in the carpet color. In both of these rooms, beautiful throw pillows did the trick. |

 |
| Random wall shelves can confuse buyers. Here the added art and accessories help buyers see how they can look great. |
 |
| If you’re considering selling, always paint red walls neutral. Red is a very polarizing color and who wants to eliminate a large portion of buyers from enjoying a room? |
