#StagingSaturdaysWithFallon

If you haven’t already, make sure you check out last week’s blog post on Staging Backdrops by clicking HERE.

Flooring is just as important as a backdrop when it comes to staging your painted furniture. Your flooring area should be at least 7.5 ft to 8.5 ft wide and 3.5 ft to 4.5 ft deep. If you only paint small pieces, then your backdrop does not have to be an entire wall, it just needs to be large enough for your small pieces. When designing this space, make sure you have extra space on each side where your piece(s) will be sitting. You want to be able to fit the piece and your staging items in the whole picture and not have anything cut off.

You can use wood planks, pallets, cement, rugs, or buy a box of laminate or hardwood flooring. You can even get a piece of baseboard at a low cost and use it on top of your flooring to make it look more realistic. If none of these suggestions are an option for you, then you can purchase wallpaper or imitation backdrops, made out of canvas that mimic the look of real wood, stone, etc. I have linked some examples, but these often look fake. I would rather your staging area look authentic and natural, opposed to forced. You want try to make your personal staging area look as realistic as possible.

As I stated in last week’s blog post, the purpose of staging is to highlight your beautiful piece of furniture. Avoid the biggest mistake of having a backdrop and/or flooring that is too busy, it may take away from the piece. Keep the focus on what’s important so you can sell your piece quickly.
