Family Room Update: Interior Redesign and Decorating

Family Room Update: Interior Redesign and Decorating


I had the opportunity to help a Carrollton resident with her family room. We rearranged the room while using the items that she owned. After I left the residence in Carrollton, the homeowner got busy making the additional changes that I recommended.


This is how the room looked before the redesign:



This is how the room looked when I left:

This is how the room looks now.

The homeowner:

1. Added a leather chair that was upstairs and not being used

2. Moved the TV to the opposite corner so that it can easily be viewed

3. Purchased a sofa table, baskets, side table, and plants

Now this room can now seat more people and it is conducive to conversation...exactly what the homeowner ordered!

Home Staging Tips: Define the Room

Home Staging Tips: Define the Room

I had the pleasure of helping a homeowner stage the dining room in her Allen, TX home. As you can see from the photo below, the room was used for many activities, except for dining.

Tip: When staging your home for sale it's important to define each room, in other words, tell potential buyers how the room should be used by placing specific furnishings in it. This way buyers can imagine themselves living in the home.

Our goals for the room:

1. Clear out the clutter, including the personal items and collections

2. Maximize the architectural details

3. Maximize the square footage

4. Define the room as the formal dining room

This is how the room looked after we staged it:

This is what we did:

1. Took the table and chairs from the kitchen nook and placed them in the dining room

2. Released the chandelier which had been tied up

3. Touched-up paint

4. Placed decorative plates in the niches

5. Hung iron art on the wall

6. Accessorized the dining table
