Regardless of a home buyer’s budget, don’t most of us want to feel a sense of luxury at some level when we arrive home after a long day? As important as the practical stuff, when we are searching for our next home to purchase, we are looking for a sense of possibility. That perception of cozy luxury can be achieved through professional home staging. And it doesn’t have to come at a luxury expense! In her book, Sage Living, Ann Sage suggests that, “Color and texture unite to create a space that speaks the universal language of cozy.” In my work as a professional stager in Calgary, I combine colour and texture to bring together a space that oozes cozy luxury in a way that appeals to potential buyers in my clients’ neighbourhood. |

Often it involves bringing in staging rental options like furniture, art, and accessories. But I can also work with what the sellers already have. That flexibility allows my clients to create a sense of cozy luxury without the expense of having to purchase all the necessary pieces themselves. In this updated Kelvin Grove home we staged in Calgary for example, the living room after staging feels like being wrapped in a gorgeous cashmere sweater. It’s not flashy and untouchable. Instead, the room calmly blends together to feel like cozy luxury in a very useable space that potential buyers can feel proud to share with friends and family. |

There’s added sparkle through the metal and glass tables and metallic finished lamps. There’s the combination of silky, smooth, nubbly, and shag textures. There are hints of colour through art. Within a relatively monotone backdrop, all these colours and textures meld together to speak quality to buyers. Want to see more examples of cozy luxury?
