home staging before and after photos: Small Changes, Big Impact: Portland OR Home Staging Tips - 08/24/16 02:16 PM
When selling your Portland home, a staging consultation provides expert advice on cost-effective changes that make a big impact!  
Room Solutions Staging advised these sellers in Portland, OR on easy ways to make the front of their house more appealing to potential buyers.
Before … 
The front of the house looked too vanilla, and the natural wood front door didn't provide enough contrast. The three brass light fixtures looked dated on this 1999 home, and there wasn't enough color or greenery to enhance the front door area. The sellers were on a tight budget so we gave them our cost-effective suggestions ~ and they did a great … (27 comments)

Some of Yours + Some of Ours Get Blended in an Occupied Staged Home
~ Home Staging Tips in Portland Oregon ~

Our Portland home staging company is often asked to stage a home that's occupied by the sellers while it's on the market.  In this case we provide a home staging consultation first, to advise them what to keep, what to pack up, and any easy cosmetic updates including painting -- to be completed before we return to stage the house.
Sometimes, the sellers tell us that they'd like to replace some furniture, or have us bring in some … (26 comments)

home staging before and after photos: Home Staging can Really Open up the Space ~ even in a Cottage - 11/30/11 04:05 AM
UPDATE: This adorable home received a full price offer after only 2 days on the market, and is now SOLD!
One of the benefits of professional home staging is that the home is seen at its very best, including showing as much "space" as possible.  Potential buyers who view a home are usually wondering, "will my furniture fit here?"

One of our goals in staging is to make sure that buyers will "see" the space that the house has, so we don't  use unnecessary furnishings.  We've found that this approach makes the house the "star" of the viewing, rather than … (72 comments)

This adorable 1912-era bungalow in Portland Oregon was staged and then listed;  within 3 days there were multiple offers, all for over asking price!  With a motivated seller who was willing to make a few easy cosmetic improvements suggested by her home stager, and a dedicated listing agent, the "team" formula paid off once again, as we've seen so many times this year:

home staging before and after photos: Contemporary Portland Home Staging Before & After Photos - 02/28/10 08:03 AM
~ Staging a Contemporary Home in Portland OR ~
We had the pleasure of staging a lovely architect-designed contemporary home in Portland Oregon recently, that had been on the market for quite a few months.  The listing agent's feedback indicated that buyers may not have been able to envision how to use the open spaces (a common element in contemporary homes).  Our company was contracted to provide a solution.
The kitchen - dining - and living areas all blend together in a dramatic space with high ceilings and an off-center fireplace.  Here's some Before & After photos of the staging of … (40 comments)

home staging before and after photos: Staging a Bedroom to Appeal to BUYERS (it's not about the sellers)! - 12/28/09 07:58 AM
Staging a Bedroom to Appeal to Buyers (it's not about the Sellers)
When we stage a home, the goal is to appeal to the target buyer of that property.  Our staging company asks both the listing agent and the seller who the likely buyer of the home might be, and then decide how to stage it to appeal to that buyer.
A recent project involved a townhouse in a Portland suburb.  The price point and the neighborhood demographics supported that the likely buyer of this home would be a young, 30's couple, and we wanted the master bedroom to be appealing … (47 comments)

home staging before and after photos: Great Contemporary home in Portland is Staged for the Target Buyer - 09/18/09 05:45 PM
                                  Great Contemporary home in Portland is Staged for the Target Buyer
A repeat client contacted me recently and asked me to view his latest project, a stunning new contemporary home in a premier Portland OR neighborhood, and provide a proposal for staging it.  Last year we staged a couple of nearby homes for this client and they sold quickly.  Because his homes are known for their stunning design, high quality materials and attention to detail, I couldn't wait to see it.  As professional stagers, we really appreciate when everything is done "just right."
As soon as I drove up the … (33 comments)

home staging before and after photos: Our next Home Staging project ~ a modern loft in downtown Portland Oregon - 04/16/09 05:40 PM
We were contacted by a local broker to provide a staging proposal for a loft in a modern building in Portland's Pearl district recently.  The seller had moved to another state and realized that a vacant space isn't as appealing to potential buyers. When we first viewed the loft as a vacant space it lacked warmth and personality.  We used color to tie the loft spaces together, using chocolate and lime green with cinnamon red accents.  Lofts can be challenging spaces!  We hope our staging sprinkled a little life and warmth into this loft and brings a quick sale for the … (33 comments)

home staging before and after photos: Staging for Oregon's Ultimate Open House Tour ~ Before & Afters - 04/13/09 08:01 AM
This Ultra-Green home is included in the upcoming Oregon Ultimate Open House Tour to be held April 18-19 & 25-26.  All of the homes in the tour are new construction or -- as in the case of this home -- totally remodeled. 
This home was built in 1957 but was taken down to the frame and rebuilt to become Oregon's first "gut rehab" project and achieved LEED Platinum status.  Here's some Before & After photos of the staging of this home:

home staging before and after photos: Why We Loved Staging this Portland Oregon LEED Home ~ Before & Afters - 04/06/09 05:48 PM
What can I say?  Staging this home was a dream!  From my first visit with the very engaging and knowledgeable owner to the final day of staging, the entire process was such a pleasure.  Why?  Because the owner knew from the beginning that staging this home would help complete the vision that he had for it.  For maximum appeal, staging adds the inviting touches that allow potential buyers to mentally "move in" to a home when they're viewing it.
This is a special property ~ Oregon's first "gut-rehab" LEED Platinum home.  It's as Green as can be!  I'll do another post … (35 comments)
