Home Staging Tips From A Showhouse - Part 5!
We toured the gorgeous Designer Showhouse of Westchester this summer. This second annual event was located in Bedford Corners, NY, and benefits Cerebral Palsy of Westchester.
In Part 1, recurring motifs and traffic patterns were covered. In Part 2, we looked at built-ins. Part 3 demonstrated working with a monochromatic palette. Part 4 dealt with iinspiration.
In Part 5, we'll look at recurring elements. As a way of uniting a space, the same element can be repeated. This could be using the same metallic finish in light fixtures and hardware, a recurring motif (as in Part 1), or the use of similar wood tones.
In this dining room, agate was the recurring element:
A serious slice of translucent agate forms the base for this modern lamp, one of two on the buffet.
Note the artwork: more slices of agate drawn and painted by hand, then framed out in over-sized, matching mats and frames.
There must be one or two of these vintage peacock lights in every antiques mall in America! They're not to everyone's taste! Yet, somehow, with it's agate "eyes", this bird is at home in this setting.
That peacock wouldn't make sense without the other, modern, agate lamps and artwork. This bird also warms up the very contemporary space with it's age!
As a professional Home Stager and Designer, it's important to explore Showhouses to pick up new ideas and inspiration. Hope I've inspired you!
