| Making decisions about what staging furniture to choose isn’t something you have to worry about. When you hire a professional home stager to prepare your property for sale, make sure she offers the option to do all the furniture staging work for you – decisions, moving, arranging, return, and all. More and more sellers just don’t want the stress of dealing with one more thing on their “prepare to sell” to-do list. For them, my job is about making their lives easier and getting their property “first impression” ready for maximum impact and results. The way I do it? I choose everything – from the staging furniture to the art right down to the little plant placed on the end table. Details matter. Not only is it less stressful for the client, everything coordinates and is guaranteed “staging safe” (i.e. not reflecting personal taste) to appeal to potential buyers. |
 After: This simple, yet stylish bedroom is the perfect retreat for any homeowner. |
 Before: Bedroom before home staging. |

Rental furniture goes in and out very quickly (sometimes it’s spoken for as soon as a return date is decided) so it’s very important that you trust your stager to “snag” pieces as they come. Also, sometimes a more appropriate piece becomes available between the time furniture selection was made and the actual staging date. In this scenario, I would change up the design to make your space the best it can be. For example, we made some last minute swaps for my recent client in Tuxedo, Calgary. I was concerned the headboard I selected would be too large to fit up the stairs (and it would have been too). Just our luck, another one came back that morning and was available to rent! In the Ramsy property staged just days after, we found a scratch on the desk. Instead of using it, it was swapped to a slightly bigger desk with no scratches. It’s all about having a vision, being flexible, and going with the flow. No matter what challenges come up, I always have your best interests at heart. So leave it to me. I will make your staging furniture and accessory decisions for you. By the time I’m done, you’ll be thrilled with how welcoming and buyer friendly your formerly vacant property appears.
