Each living space has crucial items that define its purpose in the home. The purpose of the living room space is to encourage conversation among family and friends. For this reason, stagers may rearrange furniture in living rooms to create conversation groupings that buyers can visualize. One of the most crucial pieces of furniture for this aesthetic is the couch. We are going to talk about a few of the ways to style your couch perfectly for staging photos and daily comfort with a special touch.
1. Add a throw blanket!
Texture gives a space uniqueness and versatility. When styling your sofa, start with placing a throw blanket across the arm or over the back rest. Throw blankets can vary in style, size, and shape. Details such as tassels, colorful threads, and vibrant patters add that special touch to an otherwise bland couch. These elements can transform a tired old sofa into a tailored couch that tells the story of your home. When adding throw blankets, always make sure you don’t use too many blankets. Just one or two can provide the extra touch you need without cluttering your space.
2. Fluff those Pillows!
The next layer for a beautiful couch is a few luxurious pillows. Layers is what gives any couch that luxurious feel. From square to bedazzled to long, pillows come in fun and exciting styles and sizes to create the perfect living room aesthetic.
Here are some examples of how to place pillows on your couch:
A) Place a long pillow in the middle and add two square pillows in each corner to create a symmetrical look on your couch.
B) Place two pillows in each corner, making sure that they vary in size. For example, one side can have a regular square pillow with a smaller textured pillow next to it while the other side can have just one long pillow.
C) Spruce up a sectional! Have some fun with different shaped pillows anchored by square shaped pillows to give the couch extra flair.
3. Bring on the artwork!
The artwork above the sofa completes and centers it. You want the artwork to enhance the home’s current style in a fun but unobtrusive way. If you love plants, think about purchasing some framed artwork with flowers in the room’s color palette. Paneled artwork is another great way to enhance the sofa and add extra depth to the room. To add an extra special touch, consider a personal image or personal artwork that compliments the room. . The right piece of art can make the couch shine and become the center of attention.
From blankets to pillows to artwork, the ways you can style a sofa, loveseat, or couch are truly endless. Whether staging to sell or just looking to spruce up your living room, these items can open up a conversation and allow you to share the story of your home.
