12 Days of Home Staging Christmas – Day 12

December 12, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
One dozen roses.
 
See the difference home staging makes.

After: This formal dining space is perfect for entertaining guests.
Home staging with flowers can add a bit of colour and class to a room. In this Canyon Meadows home that I staged, a dozen red roses on a dining room table do just that. These ones are silk from Home Outfitters. I chose them so the busy home owners didn’t have to worry about them dying while their house was for sale. One less thing to worry about before a showing!
 
Whether fresh or silk and when placed properly in a room, home staging with flowers is a quick and useful way to appeal to potential buyers.

12 Days of Home Staging Christmas – Day 11

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
Eleven pieces of fruit in a bowl.

After: This dining space is perfect for enjoying family meals or entertaining guests.
Whether real fruit or fake, home staging with fruit in a bowl can add a bit of colour and life to your staged room. I get my faux fruit from Michaels (remember your 50% off coupon or download the mobile app to save too). The important tip is to make it feel natural, like it belongs in the space that’s used by real people. Otherwise it could stand out to potential buyers in a negative, “they’re trying too hard”, kind of way.
 
In this Charleswood dining room I staged, I used faux pears. But it could just as easily have been fresh oranges, lemons, limes or apples in a kitchen. Used properly, home staging with fruit can help a potential buyer imagine being in that space. How about an orange after your meal while you chat with friends and family in this happy space?
 
Tune in tomorrow for the twelfth day. In the meantime, I invite you to contact Jen at Set Your Stage for staging advice and services in Calgary customized to suit your needs.

12 Days of Home Staging Christmas – Day 10

On the tenth day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
Ten pieces of art.

After: This cozy sunroom is the perfect for entertaining or relaxing.
Using art in home staging is an intentional act. Depersonalizing a home for staging doesn’t mean taking away all of the art to leave walls completely bare. And it doesn’t mean hanging up just anything to fill a space. It means that art should be used strategically to appeal to potential buyers.
 
In this Huntington home I staged in Calgary, I placed the art purchased from ArtSense between two windows to direct the potential buyers’ eyes to the feature of natural light. Art in home staging can help to make an older property feel updated. I also use art to make a property feel like a home, which is especially important when staging a vacant house or condo.
 
If done strategically, using art in home staging can be a cost effective way to create maximum impact.
 
Tune in tomorrow for the eleventh day. In the meantime, feel free to contact Jen at Set Your Stage for staging advice and services customized to suit your needs.

12 Days of Home Staging Christmas – Day 9

December 09, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
On the ninth day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
Nine books for an office.
 
See the difference professional home staging makes?

After: This office space feels organized and spacious – a great place to work.
Staging an office is important because, for some potential buyers, a designated office space is a must have. I staged this bedroom as an office simply by placing books from Indigo and decorative items in the bookcases and adding a desk. It makes it easy for the potential buyer to imagine herself working in that space.
 
At the same time, it’s easy enough for the potential buyer to imagine easily turning it back into a bedroom if a separate office is not required. Whether it’s in a separate room or a shared space, staging an office helps a property sell.
 
Tune in tomorrow for the tenth day. In the meantime, please contact Jen at Set Your Stage for home staging advice and services in Calgary customized to suit your needs.
