What would you do with this vacant Naperville home?
Our first photo was of a vacant room. We asked you to determine which room in the home that it was first, then tell us either how you would stage it, or if you were seeing this on MLS how you, or your customers would respond to it.
Is this how you envisioned the space? Is this even the room that you imagined? Vacant rooms, particularly for potential home buyers can be confusing. Often they don’t know what type of room it is (living room, dining room, office, etc) and even when they can discern that from features like chandeliers or ceiling fans, they can’t determine the size and scale. A well staged home creates the vision of the home they could have – a life they could have.
What would you do with this occupied Naperville home?
This room is clearly a living or family room. The furniture in the space completely gives it away. What were your thoughts on this space?
When you made your recommendations for this space, how much of it was budget driven and how much of it was whatever needed to be done to make the room as good as it could be? One of the questions that I’ve previously posed is whether our job is to provide the best results, or to minimize the budget. While budget is always at the top of our mind when we make improvements, sometimes swapping out pieces is the right answer.
Here are a couple more views of this room.
