Is your home in need of a makeover? Have you been planning on renovating but don’t know where to start? Stop dreaming and talk with the experts at the Calgary Home + Design show on how to turn your dream plans into a reality!

I met a very talented art supplier, StrikingGlass at last year’s show that has helped me with some staging projects as well as a specialty hardwood flooring supplier & installer Divine Hardwood Flooring and an eco-friendly carpet supplier & installer Deerfoot Carpet & Flooring. The year before, I purchased one of my most valued items from my staging kit – a steamer which takes the wrinkles out of any bedspread or drapes. This year, I hope to have a new supplier/story to share.

Staging An Office

Calgary Office Before Staging

Before: Calgary office before staging.

Before deciding to stage an office – make sure the space has been architecturally designed to be an office/den/bonus room (ie don’t stage a bedroom as an office if your agent is advertising it as a bedroom). An easy way to make an office or any other space feel organized: put anything loose into baskets on your shelving. Make sure all cupboards are neatly organized as well, if you cram items inside it will look like your space has no storage.

After: This office now feels organized and spacious - a great place to work.
