Our "Lucky" Orange Sofa Stages Everett Condo Community

By
Home Stager with Staging Seattle, King & Snohomish Counties

Everett, WA Condo Community - Sometimes certain pieces in our staging inventory get a reputation.  Our "lucky" orange sofa has been one of those items.  We purchased this sofa about two years ago and it seems that every time we use it to stage a house the property sells in a heartbeat.  Very rarely is this sofa in our warehouse as we keep it very busy staging and selling homes!

Just yesterday we moved it to yet another home for sale.  We moved it literally down the street and around the corner to a new home, the fourth home it has enjoyed in this development of 36 new homes.  You see, wherever this orange sofa goes, the green $$$ is sure to follow!

Diana ~ I have a "lucky" red sofa that has the same effect on homes for sale -- isn't it fun?  I call it "magic" staging furniture and believe that these colors have high energy that buyers can feel.  Let us know how it goes with the most recent staging.

I also have a red lucky sofa!  Same thing, whenever I've used it for my vacant the house seems to sell fast.  It's so luck, I wish I could carry it around with me so that I could have good luck all day.  Red and Orange must be lucky colors.

Love that sofa!  The accent pillows look great as well.  Have you given your sofa a name besides "lucky"?  I'm one of those individuals who names EVERYTHING since most objects in life have a distinct personality. Here's some of my examples:

My Toyota Prius - Mrs. Smithers

Large round end table in guest room - Bluto

Off-beat wall decor - Poindexter

iphone - Puddin'

 

Here's a name for your sofa....MARMALADE!  Congrats on the lucky sofa.  It's a beauty.

Maureen & Emma - I agree, some colors just photograph really well, red and orange being two of them!

Michelle & Patty - Yes, we love it!

Kate - LOL!  What a great name for the orange sofa...Marmalade!  We actually do have names for some of our other pieces, usually related to where the items were purchased or a memory associated with the item.  That would make a fun blog!

Loving the orange sofa too Diana!  The entire room is staged beautifully.  I am confident your luck has not run out.  I am thinking your staging talent may have a little to do with it too  :)

I have that exact same sofa in a moss green.  Very classic style.  I would love to have it in your orange color.  It gives the room that little bit of drama.  Great job!

Hi Diana, what a fun sofa!  I really like the color and shades of orange have really gained hold in decor today.  How fabulous to stage with a lucky sofa!!  Great marketing idea! (Forget the statue, hire us for out lucky sofa!)  : )

I've frequently thought about purchasing a Bold Red sofa and always stop myself.   No longer will I do that.

My next sofa will be a bold one

I like it! It looks a little like a 'burnt' orange to me, is this right? Maybe it's time to take the colored sofa plunge... but arn't we stagers neutral lovers?! Love your work Diana :)
