The Art Of Home

Staging and decorating is more than just painting.

A good stager will be able to walk into your home and present a guided tour for a prospective buyer. Anyone can tell you an orange living room with purple shag carpet is not an asset or that taupes and neutrals work best while using accessories for colour enhancement.

Warm inviting colours along with textures and materials like wood and suede will envelope you into the comfort of a room. As a juxtaposition steel and sharp angles are cold and modern and can work as a contrast.

I have been chatting with a client that is a few weeks away from listing a house they are flipping. They were not sure if they should furnish the home when they were ready. To me it was an obvious answer. Walking into an empty house is stark and takes thousands of your price, I've seen it first hand.

The home needs to tell a story. Who are you planning on selling to? What is their story? Paint their picture with the brush of luxury. Stainless steel appliances, wood floors, micro suede all speak to a higher level of living.

If you are not sure on what to do or you think that red walls and green carpet is sweet, call a professional stager.
