Downtown Vancouver B.C. Home Staging - Before & After
My company, Exit Stage Right, was happy to stage a downtown Vancouver condo on the 18th Floor, overlooking a beautiful Marina. This is the view from the living room window - some days I just love my job. This condo is located in the heart of Yaletown, an area of cafes, bistros, funky restaurants and great nightlife. There are also lovely design shops and boutiques for those who love the city life.
This Vancouver condo has been vacant and on the market for quite a while. The owner is moving back to his home country, and is anxious to sell. He told me that one of the main reasons he feels the condo is not selling is because potential buyers don't know what to do with the curved windows and how they should place their furniture. Enter Exit Stage Right!
By actually placing furniture in this condo, we were able to take the mystery out of where to place the furniture. Problem solved!
Before - Buyers want to know how to place their furniture
After - We used this sophisticated, white, Italian leather, curvilinear sectional to work with the curvature of the windows, emphasizing the uniqueness
Before - The dining area off the living room looked pretty blah and uninspiring.
After - Exit Stage Right shook things up with some mid-century modern furniture and bold artwork. We used a decorative bamboo ladder to add interest and also to define where the dining area stopped and the living area began.
Before - This is another angle of the living room. These pillars are necessary to hold up the building, but aesthetically are not too pleasing.
After - By placing a tree in front of the pillar, we succeeded in softening the look of the structure. The Arc lamp is another nod to the mid-century modern era, as well as a distant version of the Barcelona chair.
Before - This little bonus room needed defining.
After - This bonus room has now been defined as a home office. The desk is positioned to face the stunning view (good luck getting any work done)!
Before - A very non-descript bathroom.
After - Adding some green accents helps to warm up an otherwise utilitarian space.
Home staging has created a condo with character and pizzaz. We have spelled out how the furniture in the living room can be layed out to create a comfy place to sprawl out and read a book, or entertain friends and have seating for everyone. The curved window becomes an added bonus, not a problem to be solved.
