Have you ever gone to an open house and everything just looks so perfect? Well, that\u2019s largely due to the beauty of staging! (It\u2019s also partially due to the lack of children and\/or messy partners in the home, but we\u2019re not writing a blog about that.) Staging has become so popular in recent years that it\u2019s emerged as its own industry. And there’s a good reason for that! Professional stagers are trained to maximize potential, selecting the most appropriate furniture and decor to compliment the design of a room. While furniture and decor work hand-in-hand to create that \u2018wow\u2019 factor, part one of this blog will focus on just the furniture choices that\u2019ll make you \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 stage like a pro!<\/p>\n

Now, when we say \u2018stage\u2019 like a pro, we\u2019re not talking about maximizing potential for buyers. We\u2019re talking about maximizing potential for you! After all, it would be a shame if you only realize your home\u2019s potential when you\u2019re preparing to sell.<\/p>\n

So, that being said, let\u2019s talk furniture! Just like staging can help a house reach its full potential, poor furnishing can take away from both the aesthetics and flow of your home. It can be easy to take a few missteps here, especially with oversized, mismatched, or misplaced furniture. It happens to everybody \u2014 you have furniture from your old home that doesn\u2019t quite fit your new space, you\u2019re just not sure how to utilize a room, or you settle for the \u2018function over form\u2019 mentality.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s good news \u2014 you don\u2019t have to live this way! You don\u2019t have to settle for subpar furnishings! Here\u2019s a few tips on how to choose and place your furniture, giving you that perfectly staged look:<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Consider the Focal Point<\/h2>\n

Ask yourself, \u201cWhat\u2019s the focal point of this room?\u201d Maybe it\u2019s a cozy fireplace. Maybe it\u2019s a beautiful set of windows, a welcoming bed, or even a space on the wall for your TV. Whatever it is, recognize the focal point and build the furniture out from there. This approach will give each room a clear and defined purpose by emphasizing its main feature in a smart, functional way. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

Assess the Space<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve determined your room\u2019s focal point, it\u2019s time to start envisioning the layout. How do people need to move around in the room? What does the space need to function? What sort of furniture options would facilitate these needs?<\/p>\n

Okay, we\u2019re done asking questions (for now). But these are important things to think about! Once you start to answer these questions, great layouts will come to fruition. For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019d like to add some seating near your fireplace. Using a full couch may block the fireplace, creating an awkward layout functionally and visually. But, by adding one or two chairs to either side, the fireplace will be complimented without getting blocked off.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Consider The Materials<\/h2>\n

When browsing items, take a minute to think about the functionality of different furniture materials. What\u2019s important to you? The airiness of glass tables or the durability of wood? The richness of leather chairs or the longevity of canvas?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s no right or wrong answer here! It\u2019s all about personal preference, but it\u2019s good to make some logistical considerations before your purchase. After all, we want you to be thrilled with your furniture choices for years to come.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve figured out the type of furniture you\u2019re looking for, you\u2019re ready for the best part \u2014 the shopping!<\/p>\n

Find the Styles You Love at Turn Style<\/a><\/h2>\n

Now we\u2019ll focus on the fun stuff \u2014 exploring all the excitement and possibility that Turn Style has to offer!<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find all sorts of colors and styles sure to get your creative juices flowing. Find something you love, and you\u2019ll be able to make it work! Don\u2019t let your inhibitions get the best of you. If you\u2019re still unsure, circle back to the beginning stages of the process we\u2019ve outlined. How could this item fit in? Or, better yet, how can you make this item fit in?<\/p>\n

If you really love the item enough, you can use it as inspiration to makeover the whole room! It\u2019s not crazy to theme a room based off of one piece, trust us \u2014 designers do it all the time! Otherwise, if you don\u2019t feel like doing an overhaul, it could serve as a wonderful accent piece. When your room is smartly configured, it won\u2019t look random, but instead like a thoughtful feature. Tie it in with a few other items of a similar color or style, and boom! You\u2019ve just staged like a pro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
