2. Empty rooms confuse buyers.
People just can’t visualize how furniture will fit into a room if you don’t
show them. This is a specialized design skill that takes a lot of time and
effort to develop. Buyers will NOT be able to walk into an empty home
and know where to position their sofa, what size dining table will fit, if
there’s room for a breakfast nook – or even the best place for their TV.
(By the way, this is especially true in increasingly popular open plan
living areas.)
They won’t even know the best use for each room – is it a bedroom,
or could it work better as a home office? What is the best way to use
that third living room (that is so long and narrow!)? By furnishing these
rooms with the best possible layouts, you will be answering all of those
questions.
Well-placed furniture can really showcase your home by taking away
your buyers’ confusion, and by SHOWING them exactly how to use
every space. They won’t need to walk away wondering if they can fit
a double bed in the bedroom, or how much seating they can fit on the
outdoor deck. They can SEE it… and know that the spaces will work for
them. It gives them confidence.
