Home Staging in Powell, Ohio

Home staging in Powell, Ohio usually means family homes in the newer subdivisions of southern Delaware County, north of Columbus and a short distance from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Many of these houses share a layout: a vaulted great room open to the kitchen, a formal dining room near the front door and a primary suite with more floor space than most furniture knows what to do with. We come in from Newark by way of I-270, and the drive is worth it for homes like these.

Vaulted ceilings are a selling point until the photos flatten them. A great room with high windows and one sectional pushed against a wall looks empty and oddly proportioned online. The fix is a furniture plan with a clear center, lamps at several heights and art sized to the wall, not to a normal eight-foot room.

Open plans also need edges. When the family room flows into the kitchen and breakfast area, buyers should be able to see where one zone ends and the next begins. Rugs, the placement of chairs and a dining table that is clearly a dining table do most of that work.

Ashmoore Court is the kind of Powell house described above. The vaulted great room has a black marble fireplace with a white mantel, lit built-ins and a band of transom windows looking into trees. We grounded it with a slipcovered sofa, two rounded boucle swivel chairs and a chunky wood coffee table, then added blush and terracotta pillows and large abstract art so the tall wall above the mantel felt finished.

In the dining room, a woven drum pendant, a solid wood table and upholstered chairs worked with the existing chair rail. The vaulted primary bedroom got a bed on a patterned rug, a pair of chairs in the sitting area and a tall olive tree to fill the corner, plus a small vanity with a burl console and a wavy mirror. Every room kept the same warm neutral palette, which helps the photo set read as one house.

• The great room, where the vaulted ceiling needs scale and a center.
• The kitchen and breakfast area, lightly styled to show flow.
• The dining room, so buyers see it used rather than skipped.
• The primary suite, including any sitting area.
