A Professional Home Staging should always include a good dose of curb appeal. Even if you have Staged the inside of your house, you need to invite buyers in to get them to appreciate your hard work.Fall is the perfect time to add a pop of color to the exterior of your house without spending a lot of money and retailers have made it much easier to do it yourself. Here are some quick and effective tips to boosting your curb appeal.
Create a Clean Slate – Before you start decorating make sure your exterior has been power washed. Give your front door a fresh coat of paint and polish or replace the hardware and kick plate. Make sure you keep your lawn, flowerbeds and walkways clear of fall leaves and debris.
Skip the Ghosts, Ghouls and Scarecrows – We don’t want to scare potential buyers away. The objective of Home Staging is to provide broad appeal to a wide range of buyers.
Fall is the perfect time for a wreath – If you do nothing else, consider a wreath. Check discount retailers like Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Target that offer a wide selection. You can also make your own by purchasing a Grape Vine wreath from Michaels and adding your own Hydrangeas, berries and a simple, but colorful bow.
Look to nature for influences. Pumpkins, gourds, squash and corn are great and inexpensive accents. Control those temptations to go overboard by adding just a few touches of Fall décor.
Use larger pieces and fewer of them. You should be able to see the decorations from the road. An exception would be to use a collection of squash in a large urn or planter.
Remember the rule of threes – Create a vignette of three large pumpkins or potted mums.
Fill your empty planters with color - A large urn or planter can be filled with real branches and berries. You can add a few fall stems for additional color if needed, but keep as close to the real things as possible.
Update your furniture - Add some Color to your outdoor living space with pillows in Fall tones of burgundy, burnt orange, brown and green.
Adding some Fall color to your home will help send that welcome message to buyers and invite them inside to see more.

Ever wonder how they make those beds in model homes?
A beautifully made bed, whether for Staging to sell or to live can help create a perfect focal point in your bedroom.The more sumptuous the bed the more drama you create.Here is how to make your dream bed a reality.
First, determine the style of your room which is usually dictated by your furniture.Are you going sleek and modern or more romantic and cozy?In general the clean and simple look works best with the sleek, modern furniture.The more layers and fluff you add, the romantic the bed becomes.
Select bedding that matches or compliments the colors in your bedroom and decide whether you will be hiding the bed frame or incorporating it into your design.If you are going to conceal the frame a tailored or gathered skirt will do the trick.Adding trim or a contrasting ribbon to a ready made skirt is a great way to dress up a simple plain skirt and is an easy DIY project using iron-on fabric adhesive.
Choose the best sheets, with the highest thread count you can afford.Even if you are Staging your home, you can always use the sheets in your new home later. Use clean, crisp sheets either fresh from the dryer or freshly pressed. I suggest classic white or ivory sheets because they always look good. Dark colored sheets and prints can fade and tend to look dated over time.
Place your fitted sheet on your bed and smooth away any wrinkles.Next, place your flat sheet and blanket, pulling up the flat sheet far enough so there's enough length to fold over the blanket.Even if you're not using a blanket fold back the edge of the top sheet anyway for a crisp look. Smooth out any wrinkles and make sure the overhang on each side is equal.Use hospital corners to tuck in all the ends at the foot of the bed.
Choose your top layer according to your rooms’ décor.Again the fluffier you go, the more traditional the look.For a great modern look add a contrasting duvet cover or even a larger sized flat sheet.Duvet covers filled with down or comforters and quilts are better for creating an informal look.Add a throw or blanket folded along the foot of the bed as a final layer.
Pillows are like jewelry for the beautifully made bed.The first layer is made using large “Euros” (short for European pillows) which are placed against the headboard or wall behind the bed. For a queen-size bed use two or three pillows, on a king-sized bed use four.Overlap them so that they stand away from the flat surface.
The next layer is created from the pillows that you typically sleep on. I usually work with two to four standard-sized pillows stacked in front of the Euros.If using four, I often purchase an extra set of pillow cases in a complimentary color or pattern for additional appeal.
Place a few smaller decorative throw pillows at different angles in front of the sleeping pillows to give the appearance of having been casually thrown onto the bed.You may want to add a small neck roll pillow to add a touch of elegance and whimsy at the same time.For the modern bed you consider using just one decorative pillow in a contrasting color. A well dressed bed is a great way to ensure sweet dreams of a quick sale.

There are many that believe professional staging is something only higher priced homes should consider. Quite the opposite is true for us in Raleigh and other parts of the country. Our company, Triangle Staging & Design, stages homes ranging from $100,000 to over $3,000,000 dollars. Many of the homes we have staged this year have been under the $400,000 price point and they have experienced super quick sales. Here are just a few recent examples of those super quick sales:
Staging is more affordable then you think, especially if you consider staging your home before you consider your first price reduction.

Fifty-five showings later and no offers, what's a homeowner or agent to do? The common complaint among the buyers was the floor plan just did not work. The problem was the home was vacant which means buyers cannot envision themselves living in the home. Even worse buyers cannot "Imagine the possibilities of the room". It is our job as Professional Home Stagers to show the potential and possibilities of a home.
The floor plan called for a Dining Room and a Breakfast area on either side of the kitchen, which is a lot of eating areas close together and was a turn off to buyers. I wanted to show that the breakfast room could be used for many things. Our solution was simple, make a room that seemed awkward and without purpose, a multi functioning room that you could truly see your self living in. By adding a love seat and desk, along with a high top table, this room now works overtime.
The investment in staging was minimal, but the return was SOLD, just by showing the possiblites of the room!

It was time to cook up a new type of dish to add to our menu of services at Triangle Staging and Design. We needed a recipe that would appeal to more clients and be budget friendly. We needed to make some additions to expand our offerings and add more variety to the mix.
We had a pantry stocked with the basics but wanted to find that special ingredient to make something spectacular. In order to maintain the goodness of the TSD original recipe, we had to be selective. We tried a few things out in the test kitchen, and worked hard to come up with a recipe that would work. We have assembled just a few of our favorite key ingredients.
Start with a basic Batch ofTalent. Be selective; choose a combination of fresh ingredients and some that have aged a bit. Tailor ingredients to suit your needs:
Blend together:
All Natural Creativity - You can't buy it in a jar, raw is best, you'll know it when you see it.
Improvisation - You may need to wing it.
Diversity - A combination of skills, abilities and talents gives your batter balance and appeals to a variety of customers.
Training and/or Education- Continue to add as needed.
Pure Ambition - Motivation helps your business move forward and grow.
Persuasion - After all, You are the experts and your clients may need some help.
A Large Dose of Reality. Things aren't always as they seem.
Toss in a pinch of organizational skills, a generous sprinkle of humor. Bake in a vacant space with some furniture and accessories for six hours. You'll be amazed at the results. You can customize this list to make it your own; we'd love to hear your variations.
