Turning Cold and Sterile into Soft and Calm Contemporary

By
Home Stager with Cindy Montgomery, LLC & Stage by Design, LLC

ANOTHER ONE SOLD! After Showhomes designed this home, it sold in 42 days! Prior to Showhomes, this home sat vacant on the market for 410 days... Staging works!!!

 

This home was an over-the-top contemporary modern home with furnishings that were cold and dated with too many curves. The walls were a stark white with an entry of "car dealership" red. Even the banisters were a shiny red! Overall, the home felt cold, sterile and impersonal.

 

 

The home did have great black/charcoal grey carpeting which was a really nice compliment to the home. This gave us something to work with. We had the walls painted with a soft grey tone and accented with my new favorite color "Night Horizon" by Benjamin Moore. The idea was to take the cold, sterile feeling and make it into the soothing, calmness of a spa.

 

 

The cold, shiny marble flooring in the family room warmed up with a grass rug. Using pottery, wood, upholstery and suede also had a phenomal effect in this home. These elements created a soft contemporary home that will appeal to much more of our midwestern buyers.
