Our Portland Home Staging Company recently staged a beautiful home in Happy Valley, Oregon for one of our investor clients. The home had some design issues which needed to be addressed, and our client understood that staging was the answer to help buyers see the potential of the home.

Although this property is 4,000 square feet, some of the living spaces were small. There are also very large custom drapes in the living room that felt out of place without some connection to the rest of the home. By showing this house vacant, potential buyers would have had many reasons to say 'no' and move on to the next one.

Here are some before and after photos of how we addressed the design issues:

We used two elegant wing back chairs that tied in the gold of the window treatments and the height of the room.

This kitchen has a huge island with two eating areas. It was important to define them with different types of stools to help buyers see these as separate spaces.

Master Bedroom before Home Staging

The master bedroom in this home is large, but the only wall without windows is too small to accommodate a Queen bed and two bedside tables. We used window treatments to create a wall to anchor the bed and two bedside tables.  This made the room feel more elegant and dramatic and also connected it with the spacious living room and huge custom drapes.

Hi David--you had some difficult issues to address with this house's floor plan.  You did an amazing job.  The house is so welcoming and cohesive now.

David - Great problem solving!  You've made large, cavernous spaces seem warm and inviting.  That extra breakfast bar in the kitchen is crazy.  Great idea to use 2 different seating styles to differentiate the island from the side bar!

Brilliant idea to create a "wall" behind the bed using window treatments!  What a beautiful home!

Sally ~ Thanks for stopping by. It was the first time we'd seen a kitchen like this one for sure.

I could sit and stare at your after pictures all day long. Seriously. The sellers must be blown away with the transformation.

Congratulations. Your home staging is being featured in the group Staging Before and After Pictures.

Beautiful staging, as always, David!  That master bedroom could have been really tricky for buyers to figure out where to place furniture.  You made it elegant and easy for them to fall in love with this space!

Kathy ~ Thanks for your nice compliments and the feature! The sellers loved the transformation. Now we just have to sell it!!!

Wendy ~ Appreciate your comments. The living room is a beautiful room. And you may not have noticed the fireplace connects to an outdoor living space as well!

Diana ~ The bedroom was tricky and the sellers assumed the bed would go on the small wall with one bedside table. The staging solution turned out to really add value to the home and make the master feel like a master.

Kathy ~ Thank you! It's a lot of space to eat in the kitchen for sure!

HI David, the master bedroom seemed small in proportion to the rest of the rooms in the house. Creating a wall of drapery made sense and increased the interest in the bedroom. The living room done with the two gold wing chairs really brought everything together. It's remarkable how two chairs can make a very long length of drapery seem more approachable in human terms. Super work as always.

Fabulous work as always!  I especially love that you took the master bedroom drapes to the ceiling -- most people would have stopped at a standard height which wouldn't have given it the sophisticated look it needed!

Michelle ~ Thanks for your comments - and you've identified the biggest challenges with the house - small master and custom draperies. By the way - the home just sold!

Margaret ~ The master bedroom drapes really changed the feel of the room and it no longer felt small and not up to the scale of the rest of the home. Thanks for stopping by!
