inviting. There are many ways to make the space feel as open as possible while squeezing in extra seating. You are also going to want a potential buyer to feel like they could entertain happily within the living room, so planning how your furniture is going to be staged is important! If you’re short on ideas, or have no idea where to begin, speak to your real estate agent for help with figuring out what to do. Your agent may refer you to a professional staging expert that will work with you to create the perfect living room. USING MIRRORS TO OPEN UP SPACE By strategically placing mirrors, you can make your living room look and feel more open than it really is. Using mirrors to create the illusion of a larger living room works, and is especially helpful if there is a shortage of windows. If you do not have a strong focal point to your living room, such as a structural beam or a fireplace, create one using a large mirror. Strategically place the large mirror straight across from either the largest window or the only window in the room. The mirror will reflect the outside view and give the impression that the room is larger than it really is, while providing a main focal point to use to your advantage.
