Staging a Living room


Staging 101:

The Living Room of this property needed some updating and warming up as well. Our goal was to make it a cozy spot for relaxing by the fire and entertaining guests. Formal spaces can be tricky because you don't want them to feel too formal, but you want to define them as valuable real-estate in the home.

We did that by clearing out the non-essential distracting decor items like the large plant, and the lights and sconces that surrounded the fireplace. Remember, when you are staging, the goal is to bring attention to the positive features and architectural details of the property.

We also removed the dated loveseat and wingback chair. The colors did not complement the warm color palette we selected and they made the space feel less inviting. The new pair of leather club chairs invite people to sit back and relax and bring much needed warmth and texture to the space. Another thing to remember when you stage, is to create inviting areas for people to sit down and take in the environment. The longer a potential buyer lingers in the space, the more they are able to envision themselves living there.

We also updated the art. The previous art was cold and dated, so we added in some contemporary pieces in a warmer palette. One of my favorite things to do with a fireplace that has a mirror built in above the mantle, is to layer it with a smaller framed mirror. This brings the focal point to eye level, adding texture and dimension, and warms up the cold edges of the oversized mirror.

Lastly, we utilized the homeowners sofa and simply gave it a facelift by removing two of the oversized back pillows (you will see where we used those later :)) and added in new decor pillows, and an elegant throw.

Staging tips for entry and dining room

Staging 101:

Last month we staged a furnished property that just needed some special attention to detail and a few additional items to warm up the space. This project has the perfect scenarios for a Staging 101 Lesson  So, this week I am excited to share some quick and easy ways to prepare your home for sale, or decorate your current home!
 First up - The Entryway:

The Entry of this home is a beautiful grand space, however the white tile floors and current decor leave it feeling cold and uninviting. The solution? Add a wool rug in warm tones to warm up the space. Also add other decor items in warmer tones where you can, like the vase in the niche, it contrasts the cool paint color and harshness of the white tiles. We just moved this rug from another room that didn't need it, and purchased the vase from Ross for just $12.

Also, keep in mind the other rooms or spaces that are visible from the entry. Just right of the entry in full view is the dining room, so we updated that with a centerpiece in warmer tones, and removed a bench that was upholstered in cool tones that dated the space.

The hallway to the master bedroom with a view of Mt. Rainier is straight ahead from the entry, so we removed the large grandfather clock that was blocking that view and replaced it with a shorter hall table that allowed the space to feel even more open and draw you into the fabulous view!

Remember, it is not about how much money you spend, but how you utilize what you already have in your home. Try walking through your house as a guest instead of someone who lives there and you will be amazed at what you find!
