If you are a home stager and you keep your own accessory inventory then you know we all have our favorites when it comes to staging props and decor. Over the years I've honed in on a few which help me with the method to my madness for my market in North Texas. I'm happy to share below. These are just a few of my favorite things and how I use them in my staging to sell projects. I'd love to hear about yours (and in photos too!)
1. Iron and curly willow wall screens from Pier 1 - These 3 pieces are in continual "out to stage" mode. They're not only lightweight and easy to transport, they make a great statement in a room without taking away too much attention from the other details. When you have a huge expanse of wall, these 3 things are definitely worth putting into action. These are still available at Pier 1 the last time I checked and they were on sale!
2. Mirrors - Mirrors are another one of my favorite things for staging. They're versatile and useful for reflecting back light or a great view or vision in a room. My only rule of thumb is to make sure that whatever is being reflected back is actually pleasing or purposeful! I don't want to stare into a bathroom while sitting down to dinner at the dining table if that's what may be in the mirror!
3. Iron & metal art - No matter what part of the country you live in iron and metal art can work beautifully in many styles of homes and decor. Most of the iron work and metal art I keep in my staging inventory is lightweight and I generally purchase at least 2 or 3 pieces of the SAME piece. That way if I need to use them in a room with a big wall, it helps bring the entire room together. (And there are my 3 screens in the background again!)
I'd love to hear what your favorites are too!
