"When you live in one place for a while, it's natural to accumulate a lot of stuff. Whether it's knickknacks, mail, shoes, or piles of your kids' forgotten and abandoned toys, things just pile up. And while that may be a normal part of everyday life, when you're selling a house, minimizing clutter while maintaining warmth is a must to help potential buyers imagine themselves in your space."
"Marino's client used the fireplace as the main focal point in the living room - her couch faces the hearth, and an alcove hosts the television. Marino maintained this in her design, but created a zone anchored by an area rug and kept the furniture neatly around the fireplace for a cozy vibe that would allow for intimate conversation and quality time with loved ones."
"Streamlined the design - and maximized the natural lighting. Marino's design is fairly streamlined. She did away with any furniture that wasn't necessary and made sure each window was bare to allow for maximum natural light. For instance, in the dining room, the design was kept simple with just a table and chairs, rather than adding a credenza, which originally furnished the space."
A homeowner who had lived in her house for twenty years prepared to sell by reducing accumulated clutter and refreshing the interiors. A professional stager updated the living and dining spaces with simpler traditional decor, added eclectic touches, and preserved the fireplace as the main focal point. Seating was arranged around an area rug to create a cozy conversation zone and unnecessary furniture was removed to streamline flow. All windows were left bare to maximize natural light, and the dining room was furnished only with a table and chairs rather than bulky pieces. These changes aimed to make the home appear warmer, more spacious, and easier for potential buyers to envision living there.
