These "Dark, Dated" Room Transformations Are So Good, I'm Stealing the Stager's Brilliant Tricks
"The first room Eichstadt tackled was a "dark and dated" living room. To let in more natural light and give it a modern refresh, they removed the drapes, painted over the old wallpaper, and replaced the antique chandelier and furniture with contemporary ones. The result was a bright and airy living space, and the home was sold immediately."
"The second room was a completely vacant space that looked depressing and much smaller than it really was. The stager added minimal yet aesthetically pleasing furniture pieces, artworks, and soft furnishings. This reimagination was so successful that the home went under contract in 30 days for $30,000 over the asking price."
"Lastly, the third room was a challenging living room with a fireplace. This space was not only dark but also tough to furnish because of the odd placement of the fireplace. They strategically placed light-colored furniture, rugs, artworks, and accessories to give the space a new lease of life. The soft textiles, like the rug, upholstery, pillows, and blanket, gave the space a cozy feel. Moreover, the stager added a mirror on the fireplace mantel to further brighten up the space."
A Los Angeles apartment lacked direct sunlight, prompting interest in brightening strategies. A stager transformed three rooms using low-cost, high-impact moves. In a dark, dated living room, drapes were removed, wallpaper painted over, and antique fixtures replaced with contemporary pieces to create a bright, airy space that sold immediately. A vacant, undersized-feeling room received minimal furniture, art, and soft furnishings, leading to a contract within 30 days and $30,000 above asking. A challenging fireplace room gained light-colored furnishings, rugs, textiles, accessories, and a mantel mirror to add warmth, light, and usability.
