Design To Market has been staging homes in Cincinnati since 2004.  As our clients become more aware of the opportunity to plan their moves to maximize the enjoyment of their new homes while minimizing the expense of staging, we have worked with them to identify selected furnishings they can leave behind to work into the staging design plan.  In the living room pictured above, the addition of a coffee table and decorative items to a client's existing furniture delivers the look that drives both showing activity and offers.

I love those rusty colored pillows...really pretty.  It looked very cold and sterile before.  Your accessories warmed it up nicely.

Abby,

Thanks for the comment...the pillows are from Steinmart.  They're one of my favorite locations for pillows.

The furniture looks great, but what I find more impressing is the art work placed in the empty area behind the chairs.  It draws the eye completely across the room rather than just stopping at the chairs.  Great work!

We were attempting to open the space up by adding artwork to additional areas.  I think that drawing your eye to well-placed artwork is a good way to make the space appear larger.

Very warm and inviting, the pillows flow very well with what is going on outside. Fall outside and in. You did a great  job. The use of the homeowners furniture was excellent, adding your own touches made all the difference in the world.

Jo,

The coppery pillows and candles are a wonderful accent in this room.  Beautiful work!

The wall sconces can be tough to hang but it really helps extend the reach of artwork over a mantle.

Thanks,  Jo

Thanks for sharing the photos. The pillows on the white chairs and the lighting make the biggest impacts to me.

Thanks for all of your comments.  Given that these are the clients chairs we did not select them.  I have to admit though that we will consider white furniture in the future.  It is a great palette from which to work.

Jo, this is lovely. I LOVE the before and after photos. Those little touches you made make such a difference in the room. I can't tell since the first photo is smaller. Was it the same color, or did you change the paint?

Teri,

Thanks for your comment.  The color was the same.  It was a nice neutral and we therefore did not need to paint.
