Using Angles to Create A Visual Pathway

Ages back I touched on the importants of using angles in staging, in terms of helping draw a viewers eyes to the features of the home. So, I thought it would be nice to expand on this.

Now I’m not saying to just start turning your furniture willy-nilly, but it is important to understand that the lines your furniture makes will be one of the things directing the flow of your home. A strong staging won’t just emphasize the selling features of your home; it will also create a visual path that flows through each room.

In this example the horizontal lines of the entryway easily lead into the living room. The living room is then staged to create a series of subtle visual pathways that flow towards the dining room. Ideally a potential buyer will feel drawn from room to room with each rooms selling features equally highlighted by the staging.
