How We Dealt With An Orange Sofa - Home Staging Atlanta Before and After Picture

Home Staging with an Orange Sofa - Home Staging Atlanta Before and After Picture

When I posted the after picture last night on my Facebook page, I had one of our rainers, Cathy Lee, respond with "Orange ya glad you staged with it..." The answer is YES!

To assist the seller on the cost of staging, I try and use as many items that I can to help reduce the investment cost in home staging the property.

In the case of this home, I just knew I could use the sofa. Sure, the color was unique (and no, I've never staged a home with an orange sofa). However, the size was perfect for this room. And again, I knew it would be a way to save them money.

Here's the before picture:

Here's what we did:

  • We had the seller remove the TV. This home is semi-vacant. In other words, the sellers are not living in the home. However, they had a few items within the home to add some warmth. The TV, as you can see, was just too large.
  • Initially, we thought the plant (which is artificial) would be perfect. Try as we may, it was taking up too much real estate within the home. So... off to the porch it went.
  • To compliment the orange sofa, we added brown and orange accent pieces.
