When staging a vacant property, I need to insert furniture, accessories, and artwork from my inventory.  But what accessory items should you consider purchasing in order to make the most impact?

1.  A colorful area rug grounds the furniture pieces into a conversation grouping

2.  Decorative pillows—not the pillows that came with the furniture– make the neutral furniture stand out

3.  A tall corner piece such as a vase with sticks or a ladder bookshelf holding decorative glassware

4.  A floor lamp and color-matching table lamp for additional lighting–especially useful during evening showings

5.  Colorful artwork that can make a refined statement

6.  A framed mirror.  A mirror was used as a substitute for a window in this windowless room. Normally it bounces light around the room, making the room seem larger.

 

 

 

 

 

7.  A dramatic table centerpiece and dinnerware makes everyone feel like entertaining

When strolling through re-sale shops, discount stores, or consignment places, I look for unusual pieces that will work in many different scenarios.  The metal table (above) can be used as a sofa table, a dining buffet, or in this case, as a foyer piece.
