Staging a Bedroom to Impress
February 13th, 2010 at 18:33
This is one in a series of videos in which a home staging expert is given $250 and 2 hours to make a typical room look more attractive to prospective buyers.
In this video, staging expert Mark Jak is asked to do a Master Bedroom Makeover. The original bedroom is crowded and has no “flow”. Mark moves some pieces of furniture right out of the room, and rearranges the main items to divide the space and make it look much larger.
One of the main problems with the room is that the color selection features very bright colors – in particular a bright yellow on the walls, and contrasting reds in many of the other items in the room. The lamp shades, the bedding, the rug and the window treatments all have bright colors which serve to emphasize the overly-bright yellow in the walls.
Mark tones down the brightness of the colors by removing a number of the colorful accessories and replacing them with much more subdued, neutral colors.
The result is a room that looks much larger, more organized, and more open. The colors are also less jarring and less likely to give a negative impression to potential buyers.
