Before: Living space before home staging Some buyers can be intimidated by a dark feature wall, especially if the wall makes the whole space feel dark. An easy way to balance the dark, is add light furniture, artwork and accessories. Glass is another way to brighten a space as they will reflect light, either from a natural source like the sun or a man made source like lamps.

After: This open concept living & dining room is the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing.

Selling vacant homes can be frustrating. I recently staged a brand new vacant property in Marda Loop. The place had been sitting on the market for too long. The owner finally decided to get help from a Calgary home stager and with expertise and a little TLC the house sold less than two weeks later.
 

Before: Living room before home staging. Why? It’s basic psychology. Empty spaces feel cold and seem smaller than they actually are. Buyers can’t envision the space filled with furniture and accessories, so a vacant house looks and feels lifeless. And that’s a bit creepy. You can’t expect to sell when that tone is set.

Drawing out selling time is exhausting and frustrating. Taxes, mortgage and utility bills pile up. If and when a potential buyer makes an offer, it is traditionally much lower than the original asking price.

A home stager will select the most suitable furniture and décor from their own inventory then move it in. We know how to set up the entire home in the most psychologically effective way and highlight its best features. The end result, once you’ve set your stage is a warm, inviting home that will lovingly whisper, “Life is good here. Buy me…”

Before: Bedroom before staging. You don’t always have to use traditional artwork in a space to make it beautiful. Iron artwork can be just as beautiful as a print. To coorditate the nature theme in this room, we chose leaves for the artwork above the bed.

After: This sophisticated, yet stylish bedroom is the perfect space for guests/teenagers.

Before: Living room before staging. To make your living room feel as spacious as possible, try using glass end and coffee tables. To add some life to your room use bright throw cushions and blankets that have similar colours from your artwork. If you are unsure of which colours to add, pull from the artwork.

After: At the end of a long day this living room is the perfect space to unwind.
