This living room had two sofas and no focal point.

Primary colors and a damaged carpet made this
downstairs rec room dated and unappealing.

Taking out a sofa, adding artwork, and a touch of color created visual impact.

The master bedroom needed visual impact.

Neutral paint, new carpet and pieces of furniture from other rooms
helped to create a spacious, inviting room for TV and parties.

Less is more – but in this case, there wasn’t enough to make buyers see the potential.

Artwork, greenery and other accents were added to give the room pizzazz.

A room without a clear purpose is confusing to buyers.

When a window treatment, artwork and other accessories
were added, the room really popped.

The living room in this house was being used
as a kids’ computer room and play area.

The paneling was removed and the walls were painted in a warm tone. Turning it into a bedroom was a big plus in selling the house to a family.

Pretty in pink isn’t for everyone,
especially if buyers don’t have little girls.

Turning it back into a living room was key to helping buyers
visualize how they could live in the house.

Electronics and awkward furniture arrangement
took away from the appeal of this den.

Painting the room and thinning out décor makes this room
gender-neutral and appealing to a wide range of buyers.

An oversized bed, outdated wallpaper border and lack of a
focal point made buyers pass through too quickly.

Relocating the sound system to another area of the house made a big difference.
Adding window treatments and accessories after re-arranging
the furniture made this room a cozy conversation area.

A dated carpet and uninviting furniture arrangement
didn’t impress buyers before it was staged.

Staging changed everything. The carpet was pulled up to reveal
the lovely hardwood floors, wallpaper was removed and
a different bed was brought in from another part of the house. Accessories were added and the room had impact.

This living room served as a TV viewing area
but lacked a cozy conversational feel for guests.

The hardwood floors that had been there all along
were now graced with an attractive Oriental rug.
A queen sized bed and furniture from other parts of
the house made this bedroom feel like an elegant hotel suite.

New slipcovers, side chairs and strategically placed accents
pulled the room together and made it warm and inviting.
