Las Vegas’s high-rise condo market is thriving, attracting buyers who want luxury, convenience, and stunning views. However, small condos often face a unique challenge: space limitations. If a unit feels cramped or cluttered, potential buyers may struggle to see its true potential. Whether you’re a condo seller looking to maximize value or a realtor preparing a high-rise listing, here’s a few tips from our staging team at Stage The Space on how to stage a small space effectively and make a big impact. Let’s take a look:
1. Emphasize Open Space & Flow
Buyers need to be able to visualize how to move through the condo effortlessly. Staging should create a seamless flow between spaces. You can try tactics like using sleek, low profile furniture to avoid overwhelming the space. Instead of bigger furniture choices, opt in for slim sofas, armless chairs or glass top tables to create a sense of openness. It’s also important to ensure you’re leaving all walkways clear and easy to navigate- this helps to make the space feel more inviting overall.
For studios or open-concept spaces, try using rugs to distinguish different zones like living, dining and sleeping areas.
2. Maximize Natural Light & Views
One of the biggest selling points of Las Vegas high-rise condos is the stunning Strip or mountain views. You are able to highlight this premium feature with your staging by removing heavy curtains, positioning furniture to face the windows and using mirrors to reflect light. All of these serve to bring attention to the natural aspects of the property like lighting and view and make the space feel brighter and more spacious.
3. Choose Storage-Focused Furniture
Space is limited and so every piece should serve more than one purpose. Bring in storage-focused furniture like storage ottomans, murphy beds and foldable desks to show the dynamic nature of the space. This will especially be good when showing the property to young working professionals and students who will value this aspect of the space. You can also use wall mounted shelves to keep surfaces clear while still adding to the stylish storage options available on the property.
4. Stick to a Light Color Palette
Dark colors can make a small space feel even smaller. Instead, opt for:
- Light grays, soft whites, or warm beige tones to create an open, airy feel.
- Accents in blues, greens, or metallics for a touch of luxury without overpowering the space.
- Consistent colors throughout the condo to create a unified, seamless look.
5. Keep It Minimal
Buyers should feel a sense of calm and sophistication, not clutter. Keep decor simple and intentional by limiting artwork to one large statement piece instead of multiple small ones and using a few key accessories, like a tray with candles and books on the coffee table.
It’s also important to keep countertops and surfaces clear, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.
6. Highlight Luxury Lifestyle Features
Las Vegas high-rises offer more than just living space—they provide a lifestyle. Showcase luxury views with chic outdoor staging, create apirational dining spaces by setting the table with modern dinnerware or try adding high-end finishing touches like plush towels, fresh flower arragements or even a sleek, modern coffee station. These small details create the whole image of your property being the next destination for prospective buyers to imagine themselves living in next.
7. Create Move-In Ready Appeal
Most buyers are looking for something they can imagine moving into right away. A wonderful way to help foster that feeling is to prepare the home with fresh linens/bedding, use fresh scents like citrus or vanilla during showings or add a touch of the high-rise lifestyle by setting out a bottle of champagne and glasses, ready to celebrate the new purchase.
In Las Vegas’s competitive market, well-staged small spaces experience quicker and more profitable sales than their vacant counterparts. If you’re preparing to list a high-rise unit, don’t leave it empty or overcrowded with furniture that doesn’t fit the space.
