7  Creative Solutions to Staging a Condo:

  1. Condos require a unique creative approach to staging and setting a powerful impression for potential buyers. Generally Condos are small and compact, which often is the appeal to potential buyers; however, there is an art to living within the square footage of the space. This art is achieved by creating the illusion of depth and space, the following provides you with the tools and mindset to fulfilling your intention, of securing a quick sale for an optimum price.
  2. Know your buyer: Young single or double income professionals or middle age executives.
  3. Maximum your square footage: Choose furniture in light neutral colors, with slim sleek lines. Keep furniture layout free of blocking doors and pathways. Choose small round coffee, end and dining room tables. Ideally these items would be round and glass as to promote easy of movement, reflect light and give the illusion of space.
  4. Be mindful of size and proportion of furniture and accessories: Condo and apartment sized furniture are available through many fine furniture stores.
  5. Multi Uses of Space: If you are fortunate enough to have a second bedroom be creative by staging a multimedia/home, office/guest bedroom. Creatively arrange an apartment sized futon, and desk that you can use when having guests or working from home. Utilize your computer screen as a TV; this illuminates the need for more electrics in the space.
  6. Attraction of Definition: Relax into color, the trend is neutrals, tans, browns and gray however; these colors can be repressive and make the space feel smaller than it is. You can creatively use color in a small space to inspire an unforgettable vignette, which will add depth and excitement while giving the space the illusion of being larger.
  7. Dressing for Success: Less is more. Choose larger but fewer accessories and artwork. The use of opulent mirrors will expand the space and give depth. However, when placing a mirror, be mindful of what will be reflected in the mirror. (Keep in mind that it is not good practice to place a mirror directly across from doors or windows.)
