Simply Staged Inc - Rockford Area Home Staging Blog: Can a Spacious Kitchen be a Negative when Selling?

Can a Spacious Kitchen be a Negative when Selling?

This home was on the market for 8 months.  Staged and under contract in 3 weeks!

Beautiful home with a spacious kitchen.  That sounds like a good thing, right?  However, because the kitchen was so large (not all shown in photo) it felt cold and sterile when it was vacant.  Staging allowed the potential buyers to visualize themselves working and living in the space.

Michele,

Lovely! This is just another example of how staging can work. With the room being so spacious I'm sure it felt big and cold. With your staging it's warm and inviting. By the way, love your company name, it seems to fit your style of staging. It's simple and it works! Great job.

Michele,

Great staging job!  I can see how without staging in this room, it would feel empty and overwhelming to potential buyers.  When buyers aren't able to visualize themselves living in the space they soon loose interest in the house.  Luckily for these sellers you have given this kitchen life and purpose. Continued success!

Donna, Cathy Lee, Michelle, and Terrylynn - thank you for your kind words.  It was a success for everyone involved.  Most importantly, the relocated family can now enjoy life without the burden of selling a home in another State.

Michele ~ You did a very nice staging job on this kitchen. I like what you did above the cabinets. Did you place some lighting up there?
