12 Days of Home Staging Christmas – Day 7

December 07, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
On the seventh day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
Seven pillows on a bed.
 
See the difference home staging makes.

After: This stylish bedroom is the perfect retreat for any homeowner.

These pillows from Winners were used in a Master Bedroom I staged in Acadia. Having an odd number is visually pleasing. The use of pillows, in addition to the large headboard, creates a focal point and feeling of elegant comfort that appeals to potential buyers. Pillows are an easy way to help create a Master Bedroom retreat.
 
Tune in tomorrow for the eighth day. In the meantime, feel free to contact Jen at Set Your Stage for home staging advice and services in Calgary customized to suit your needs.

12 Days of Home Staging Christmas – Day 6

On the sixth day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
Six HomeSense throw cushions.
 
See the difference home staging makes.

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

I used six throw cushions in this living room I staged in Westgate. It’s a quick and handy home stager tip. Placed on all furniture to draw the eye, throw cushions are an easy way to add a punch of colour that gives life to an otherwise neutral space.
 
And, if the potential buyers doesn’t love the colour, it’s no problem because they know that they won’t have to do any work to remove it when they move in (versus having the walls or flooring that colour). As a professional home stager, throw cushions are a must in any staged property.

12 Days of Home Staging Christmas – Day 5

On the fifth day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
Seating for five!
 
See the difference professional home staging makes?

After: This open concept space is perfect for entertaining or relaxing.

When home staging a living room (or any other room for that matter), you want to help a potential buyer to see how much space there is and to get a sense of how many people can fit. Creating a seating area for five works well in most living rooms.
 
In this property I staged in Acadia Calgary, two chairs flank the fireplace and a couch is placed opposite. This creates a conversation area, highlights the fireplace feature, and feels balanced. The furniture, from from Ashley Furniture, was chosen to present the desired lifestyle that potential buyers were looking for in a Calgary condo living room.
 
Tune in tomorrow for the sixth 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 4

On the fourth day of Christmas, my home stager placed for me…
 
Four dining room chairs from Pier 1.

After: This dining space is perfect for enjoying family meals or entertaining guests.

These beautiful dining room chairs used in an infill I staged in Calgary are from Pier 1. They work well for the colour scheme and the executive feel we were going for. A dining room should feel more formal, even if it’s in an open casual space. In general, by staging with four chairs, the potential buyer understands that it is the designated entertaining area, while visually there is plenty of room left to envision having a larger table or more chairs in the dining room if needed.
