Staging a Vacant Farmhouse For Sale
This vacant 1800’s farmhouse had been updated with new light fixtures, refinished floors, paint and more, but without staging, it felt cold and empty. Said the homeowner, “…it made the house a home.”

Master Bedroom – Before & After Staging
BEFORE
AFTER
In staging this spacious master bedroom, we added a bed skirt and some pillows to dress up the bed, along with a nightstand with a lamp to add light and functionality. The desk was accessorized and positioned to face into the room. Extra items like the TV and luggage were put out of sight to make this space an inviting and relaxing retreat.

New bed linens, window panels, and a warm paint color to replace the 80’s wallpaper went a long way to update this master bedroom. We moved the tall dresser to the far wall and added a small bedside table to give the room balance. The laundry basket full of clothes found it’s rightful home in the closet. Framed wall art above the bed gives the room a finishing touch.

Oversized, mis-matched furniture and an outdated window valance make this master bedroom space feel crowded and awkward. We centered the bed in front of the window to allow space for the massive dresser on the far wall, opening up access to the closet. The large wooden chest was covered with a cloth and moved to the corner to function as a nightstand. New bed linens and updated window treatments help to coordinate the color scheme.

MASTER BEDROOM - BEFORE
BEFORE: While the colors are neutral and there’s certainly no clutter, this bedroom looks more like a dorm room than a master bedroom. The only thing you really notice upon entering the room is the bed… not exactly a unique selling feature!

AFTER: Centering the bed on the wall and adding a bedside table makes the space appear larger and more functional. Coordinating lamps add much-needed light, and the bed has been made more inviting with the addition of some pillows and a bedskirt. A soft white blanket breaks up the expanse of brown in the bedspread. Artwork on the far wall gives the room depth. A simple scarf window dressing and coordinating pillows help draw attention to the window seat which doubles as a storage bench.
