Please help me stage my living room
Answer
I would position your furniture in an L shape - Position the 2 single seater chairs side by side in front of the window with a small table (with a vase of flowers or plant) between them. The sofa should remain where it is. Furniture should not be against the window wall - but pulled forward about 1 foot. This will show the room looking as large as possible. Remove your house plants - they eat up space (and encroach on the walkway) and r overgrown so they don't look that wonderful - finally i'd strongly consider painting a light neutral color - thought this is not essential - also the lamp shade on the left is tilted - u should straighten it :-) Wishing you a speedy sale!!Andy CapellutoInternational School Of Staging
