HOME STAGING ADVICE IN BATTLE CREEK AND KALAMAZOO

By
Home Stager with StageRight Home Staging

As a professional home stager and home staging consultant I often run into situations that are not ideal for the purpose of preparing a property for market.  Just recently we were awarded a job where the homeowners had painted the entire house off white and there were no opportunities to paint.  To solve this dilemma we introduced pops of color in our art and accessories to create interest, drama and to creat a flow for the potential buyer to follow while viewing the property.  Our art and accessories complemented the furniture we brought in and still remained neutral enough so as not to discourage the potential buyer.  The results were fantastic and we thought we would share those with you.

Thank you, as you well know it is always interesting when we receive these properties.  WE had one where they had painted the entire house in high gloss white, except the bathrooms which were wall papered in teddy bear paper.  We bid the job, homeowner didn't want to spend the money and it went into distress 2.5 years later.  So sad.

Very very colorful...I bet potential buyers won't even notice the walls are plain white.

Thanks Sharon, this property also had a wallpaper boarder in the great room of all places that we had to work with.  Always interesting isn't it?

Carole - it turned out beautiful. The infusion of color will no doubt help buyers connect.

I have seen many great rooms where the white highlighted the furnishings.  Yours is one!

Thank you Leanne, we received an offer on this property less than 10 days after it was listed.  It had been on the market for about one year before it was staged.  Hope it sells.
