Most of us arrange our furniture in one of two ways. We either put furnishings where they seem to function best -- an end table snug up next to the sofa, chairs clustered around the dining table -- or we  place furniture as if on display, maybe the way our mothers and grandmothers arranged furniture decades ago. 

When a home is on the market, each of these approaches can work against making the right impression on buyers. Today, homes on the market need to look terrific in photographs. But they also need to be believable, practical, and functional. 

I’ve collected all the tips and tricks, all the best professional designer advice, all the guidelines and formulas in one place -- an eBook devoted exclusively to arranging furniture to make rooms look better and function better, too. I wrote with the home seller in mind, someone staging her own home to sell it fast for a good price. But the advice will resonate with anyone who takes pride in her home and wants it to look its best. 

Sitting areas should feel cozy but not cramped.

Whether it's formal or not, the dining 
room's importance can't be underestimated.
 
To look inviting, bedrooms should always 
feature more than the bed.  
A fireplace in the room presents 
a number of possibilities. 
Every buyer wants spaciousness. Furniture placement 
can enhance the appearance of roominess.
The size and style of furnishings are just 
as important as where they are placed.  

Here are the kinds of topics I cover in this easy-to-understand eBook. 

  • How to create a dining room that gets used!
  • What to do about a corner fireplace
  • Four unusual ways to test your furniture arrangement
