Staging: That Extra Room

We're not all lucky enough to have an extra room that we use for sewing, working out, watching TV, etc. but for those of us who are, those rooms can be a challenge when staging the home to sell. This room started out as a sewing room. The house had 4 bedrooms, 3 of which were being used as bedrooms already. We could have left the room a sewing room, but in reality, if you are advertising a 4 bedroom, it doesn't hurt for buyers to see 4 bedrooms. In this case, the owner had the bed already and other furniture was borrowed to set this up as a lovely sleeping space. If you don't have a bed, I often suggest borrowing one. If you can't do that, you can sometimes get away with faking one using boxes and an air mattress--as long as the buyers don't decide to sit on it! If you want to leave the room as an office or hobby room, that's ok too, just make sure it is super tidy and nicely decorated.
