Leave the staging to the experienced.... PLEASE!

Lately I've had to restage 2 builders units where the properties went under short sale (one 3 days after contract - the other less than 2 weeks) and the builder opted to move the furniture themselves rather than pay for our movers.  I was called in to hang art, etc.... they already had 'set up' everything. 

When we arrived, we realized they really hadn't.... they need to stop this!  I didn't have the forsight to take my camera to the first home.  The second one I had to take a photo of the upstairs bedroom they staged.

When we used these chairs in the home next door they were used to add color and function to an akward space in the home.... In the new home they decided stage one of the bedrooms upstairs. 

  

Why doesn't this work?  When they added the furniture to this space, particularly centering it in the MIDDLE of the room it makes the room appear ridiculously small.  I mean does this look like it would hold a bed, dresser & nightstand?  Could your children be happy sleeping & playing here? 

We immediately removed these items from the space & repurposed them in the dining and living rooms.  Sadly there was no home for the Scrabble game in this house....
