Staging Props - I Know You Have Them!

As an Accredited Stager, it is not uncommon to bring in or re-purpose some items that are already in your house. We may find something in the basement sitting on the shelf covered in dust and find a perfect spot that we can use to enhance a specific focal point in your house.
The wire basket filled with rich green moss balls can be used in so many areas. Fireplace, table by the window. On a bedside table. The cost is minimal but the impact is BIG! If you will notice the beautiful detailing on the wall behind the fireplace in this room. Become aware of how the mirror, the little greenery and the fireplace draws your eye to that space. If you will stand in the doorway of each room of your home, study it, and find the focal point of that room and that's where the emphasis needs to be. Play up the strong points of each space.
Pillows. .Pillows. . .Pillows. When was the last time you freshened your room with new ones? I have found in years of staging houses, the best sofa, is a timeless sofa, and it will be solid color, or slip-covered in a beautiful solid fabric. The punch comes with pillows. Up-to-date colors and patterns on a solid color sofa will always be a great buy.
Case in point. . . can I say more?
The Power of Three. When accessorizing a space . . .three is the MAGIC number. Take time this week to walk through your house and look at it through the eyes of a Buyer. What can you live without and start to de-clutter. Keep your Staging Props to a minimum and focus on the focal points in a room. LET'S GET STAGING & GET IT SOLD!
