The first thing I noticed when I walked into the unit was that I didn’t see a desk anywhere in the space.

In tiny loft-style units, a buyer has to be able to see 4 important things:

1) Where they will sleep

2) Where they will eat

3) Where they will watch TV

and

4) Where they will work

If any one of these factors is missing or confusing to a buyer, you have just lost the sale. It’s hard enough for most buyers to feel like they can comfortably live in such a small space, but if you don’t solve these 4 basic questions for them they are never going to buy.

So the first thing we did was to create a small home office vignette using furniture the owner already had. Then we added that feminine touch – throw pillows on the sofa, art on the walls and decorative accessories on the surfaces. Now this former bachelor pad is Staged to Sell!

We moved the bench from the foot of the bed into the entry and added art and a floor vase to warm up this space and invite buyers in.

We opened up this convertible sofa table/desk the owner already had in the entryway, moved it into the main living area, and added one of his dining chairs, some art, a laptop and accessories. Voila! Now we have a home office.

A few colorful throw pillows, some art and accessories livened up the living/dining room and the kitchen.You can see the new home office area from this view.

All this space needed was some art. We also removed the bench that used to be at the foot of the bed and placed it in the entryway.

This is a beautiful bathroom that just needed some accessorizing and art.

We drew attention to the beautiful tilework in the bathroom with this small vignette.
