Sometimes staging a property is mostly about creating a feeling of balance. In modern construction, that means it’s important to add to comfort and liveability. Especially in a vacant modern property, this comfort can be achieved through staging with appropriate rental furniture and accessories. |
 After: We used trendy accessories in this kitchen to reflect an active and healthy lifestyle. |

Modern, elegant, and luxurious, this new Banff Trail property designed by Blumer Homes that we staged in Calgary is the kind of home that people dream of. It is absolutely gorgeous! I mean jaw dropping! Marble, glass, clean lines, and open rooms with expansive space set the stage. But when potential buyers walk in, it’s important for them to also feel comfortable and welcome. This is what we kept in mind when making staging decisions for this vacant property, which required adding comfort through furniture and accessories so it didn’t read as ‘cold’ to potential buyers. |
 After: Throw pillows and blankets not only add colour to the space but it gives it a welcoming feel. |

Our approach is reflected in the nubbly pillows, throw blankets, and area rugs. It’s in the textured linens on some of the chairs. It’s why we chose rounded vases and lamp bases and added the flowers and art work. The blues and grays that we weave throughout the staged rooms add a sense of calm and peacefulness that make a house feel like a home. After staging, this modern property feels like a home you can snuggle into at the end of a long day while celebrating its clean modern edge. In this way, potential buyers instinctively experience the property as if it was their dream home. They can feel what it would be like to live there. |
 After: All this bath tub needs now is bubbles and wine! What a relaxing space. |

This feeling is the goal of a staged property. It delivers a much deeper impact than the intellectual act of noticing construction and design features (regardless of how amazing they are). Add comfort through staging to create balance in a modern property for the best results. For more examples of the power and impact staging can create in a space, take a look at the rest of the Set Your Stage Facebook albums featuring many before and after photos of the various homes and condos that we’ve successfully staged to sell. |
