Staging a Home Tip 2: (from Realtor.com)

 

2. They really think about furniture placement

"We scan a room from left to right upon entry," Barnett says. "If you place the tallest piece of furniture in the room in the far left corner, the room will appear larger."

Placing a large or tall piece of furniture on either side of an entryway or door makes a room appear smaller, according to Barnett, while placing such pieces farther back in a room makes the space appear larger.
