This 2 bedroom + den condo is located in Kerrisdale. The finished floor area is about 1100 square feet, which is a relatively spacious floor plan nowadays. This condo has been on the real estate market for few months. However, due to the irregular shape of the rooms and the long hallway, it makes the space appears to be very small, not so attractive to the buyers.
It was quite a challenge to plan the space. Let's take a look at the layout. The master bedroom is in an awkward shape. The first question that comes to your head " Where would my bed go??"
Then you walk to the living/dining/den, all in an open concept space, more and more questions come up... "where is the dining area?" , "What should I do with the fireplace against the window?", "Can I fit my sectional sofa here?" ...... this is getting more and more overwhelming!
Then I came up with this 3D virtual model to help the buyers to visualize how they could live in this space. It is always a bonus if you can have your home staged before putting it up on the real estate market. If you are on a limited budget, you can hire someone [or me :) ] to do a 3D virtual model like this. I will be posting more benefits about staging later. Let's look at the model now!
In the master bedroom, I have this seating area by the window to "hide" the odd corner space. The lighting above the bed creates a focal point, which to draws the attention away from the irregular-shaped bedroom. And I picked this crossed-legs nightstand to make the room look more airy and spacious.
The living room and den are divided by this low bookcase/console. Furniture are group together to define the space. Some people might be concern about having a TV at the window. The key is to use the blackout fabric that could block the sunlight.
