Home Staging

Update your software

An easy way to redecorate and reinvigorate your home is to update your software. Accent pillows, area rugs, bedding, towels… all relatively inexpensive and easy ways to change your color scheme, and add pops of color. We use textiles in staging like a magic wand. Texture and color help to propagate a theme and create a cohesive feel throughout the entire house. Even in ultra-modern minimalist spaces, tone on tone accent pillows used in restraint give

The geometry of staging

For thousands of years mathematicians, artists, architects, botanists and countless others have discovered and rediscovered the “golden ratio” Designer Le Corbusier was a devout follower of this principle in his designs. How do we apply his theories to staging? We often run into spaces that feel awkward, and cause the home to be unappealing to buyers. This is usually because the dimensions of the rooms fall outside of this geometric sweet spot and are either long and

Home Staging Tips to Mind the Gap

Mind the gap

We often say that there is a fine line between staging and decorating. How you treat empty spaces is one of those. When decorating your home filling walls, rooms, shelves, and surfaces with your objet d’art is great! For staging purposes, we find empty spaces to be a useful tool to make a home feel more spacious, as well as help lead a buyer from room to room.

Home Staging Purpose or Imagination

Purpose or imagination

We often come across ambiguous spaces, or rooms that are difficult to read. In some cases we find it necessary/beneficial to give purpose, or show use of a space. Showing buyers how a home functions can engage them with the home. Conversely, sometimes it is best to leave the use of a space up to the imagination of the buyer. If a room is given a specific use, buyers may not be able to see it

Seasonal lighting

With the long days of summer upon us, we take into account the extended light hours by using fewer lamps in our sets. While lamps are great décor pieces, in the summer months cool and breezy is the design tool of choice to encourage the emotional connection. Using lighter weight décor that have less height on end tables can give a room a more open, and cooler feel.

Home Staging Style Wars
Home Staging

Style wars!

One of the biggest challenges that we face is when there are competing styles within a home. While personalization is great when decorating your home for yourself, it can become a hindrance to selling. This is especially true when it comes to “themed” rooms. Many buyers find that neutralizing the home prior to selling is helpful for them to separate themselves emotionally from the home. A home with a consistent style and color palette throughout

Home Staging Tips For When Logical Function is Sacrificed
Home Staging

When logical function is sacrificed

The three aspects in order of importance that we address with staging are: How the room will photograph. How the room feels in person. How the logical function of the room is demonstrated. While it can be ok to sacrifice the logical function a little, our goal is to always show a room that not only looks beautiful, but that a homebuyer can see themselves living in and with.

Home Staging Tips - the eye has to travel

The eye has to travel

One of the keys to a successful look is to create a “decor landscape”. To quote legendary stylist and fashion maven Diana Vreeland “the eye has to travel”. A room  consisting of nothing but right angles that ends  in a straight line four feet from the floor is just plain boring! In order to give our sets life and movement we like to create a decor landscape by using asymmetrically placed items. Varying the height

Staging for a sellers market

  The market is HOT! Staging is HOTTER!! It’s a seller’s market. That means low inventory, and lots of buyers. Lots of discerning buyers. The agents we partner with know that staging still means the difference between a multi offer, over asking price, fast sale, and a stagnant listing. For todays shopper, packaging (staging) is everything!

Bringing the Green into Staging

Bringing the green in

Staging is all about establishing an emotional connection to a property. Attractive greenery helps give a space a cozy, warm, human feeling. Succulents are a great appeal to both feminine and masculine aesthetics. Care needs to be taken not to overdo the foliage either. You don’t want to be remembered as the “plant house”! Bring in the green to bring in the $green$
