When selling your home, look at each room individually and stage the furniture accordingly. It is a common belief that furniture pushed up against the walls is best; instead try floating the furniture away from the walls. When re-positioning the furniture create conversational groups, such as near the fireplace, drawing attention to this coveted feature.  This creates a better traffic flow in rooms and also makes them look larger.
