Okay, so I’ve been flipping houses for a while now, and staging is a big part of the game. You gotta make the place look lived-in, you know? But not everyone has a bunch of extra furniture lying around. One thing I’ve started doing is using fake TVs. Sounds kinda cheesy, but it really works.
First, I ordered a couple of those prop TVs online. They’re basically just empty shells, like a plastic box shaped like a TV. They’re super lightweight.
- Found a place that sold different sizes.
- Picked a couple that would fit different rooms, like a big one for a living room and a smaller one for a bedroom.
When they arrived, I started playing around with placement. In the living room, I put the big one on a TV stand I already had. It instantly made the room feel more complete, like you could just imagine chilling on the couch and watching a movie.
In one of the bedrooms, I mounted the smaller fake TV on the wall. I just used a regular TV mount, the fake TV was light enough that it was no problem. Again, it really helped make the room feel more like a real bedroom.
Key Takeaways
- Deciding where to put them is half the fun.
- Think about how people would actually use the room.
- Consider how it can add a sense of comfort.
Honestly, these fake TVs are a game-changer for staging. They add that extra touch that makes a house feel more like a home, without breaking the bank. Plus, they’re way easier to move around than a real TV! And you don’t have to worry about plugging it in and messing with settings. If you’re staging homes, you should definitely give these a try.
The whole point is to help potential buyers visualize themselves living in the space. And let me tell you, it works. I’ve had people comment on how nice the “TV setup” looked, not even realizing it was fake! It’s all about creating that illusion, making the house feel warm and inviting. And these fake TVs really help with that.
So yeah, that’s my little trick for staging homes. It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it makes a big difference. I learned it, I tried it, and now I shared it! Hope you find it helpful!
