This very long and narrow space turned out to be fun home staging project. The home, located in Atlanta, Georgia and home staged by Georgia Interior Solutions came out wonderful.
Here is a before picture:

And because I love taking photos of the homes we stage, here are a few others of this beautiful home:
As a home stager in Atlanta, I had two primary objectives when staging this home.
- Showcase the features of the home. In this case, the two archways needed to really stand-out. While I could have easily placed the sofa in the middle of the room (with the back of the sofa facing the dining room table), it would have cut the room in half visually. With this arrangement, the buyers eyes now flow smoothly from one room to the next.
- Provide the prospective buyers with solutions on how to utilize the space. Let's face it, long narrow living rooms can pose a challenge. If left vacant, we leave the buyers "guessing." Thru home staging (or house staging as it is often called), we provide the visual solution for the buyer.
