Staging a Modern Condo in Indianapolis: Showcasing the Space

By
Home Stager with Home Matters Property Stylist Group, Indianapolis, Indiana

In Indianapolis, traditional is the general decor theme, but in downtown Indy,  430 N Park Ave, Indianapolis provided a great break from the usual. This modern condo, listed by Susan Miller an FC Tucker Realtor, had unique features that set the tone for this professional stage.

Showcasing the space in a modern downtown condo

Modern lighting, open beams, exposed brick and pipes convey an absolute modern feel in this downtown Indianapolis condominium. While we find the majority of our homes require more traditional furnishings, art, and accessories, this project was unique and would require youthful colors and sleek lines. The size of the space meant creating multiple functions so that every square foot was maximized.

Warm, rich colors helped to convey a modern feel, while still keeping that traditional vibe that Indianapolis is known for. Clean symmetrical lines emphasize the built in shelves, windows, and bricks.

Creating a successful stage in downtown Indianapolis

The staging helped convey lifestyle and function for Indianapolis home buyers and this condo went under contract in only 21 days.  Sellers who understand that proper merchandising will save them thousands in carrying costs and price reduction chose the number one Indianapolis home staging company, Home Matters, LLC.

Love the way you defined this space to show the benefits of living here.  An open empty room is always a challenge for buyers.  The desk is an excellent idea and use of space, everyone needs a designated area for a computer.  I've love the exposed bricks and wood ceilings and the way you updated it with modern furniture yet it still has a warm and inviting feel.

I always love to show homes that have been staged. Buyers love them as they don't have to visualize past all of the stuff and clutter. And if the home is vacant, then it gives them a sense of the space and how their furniture may fit.

You created great use of space for buyers to see themselves living in this condo. Not surprized it went under contract so quickly.

Julia - thank you for the feedback. Given that it sold quickly, we feel confident that we helped buyers connect with the condo. 

Aaron - I agree. It's always great when a Realtor can advertise that a home has been professionally staged in the agent's notes because they know that the buyers will enjoy it. 

Michelle - Thank you for the kind words. You always do beautiful work so I appreciate it. 

Sally - When you don't have much room, it's great to break them down into zones like this. I know you do a lot of spaces where that's necessary.

Hi Linda,

I like the brown tones and the floors are so pretty and compliment the room and its furnishings. Great job.

absolutely a positive result on this listing by using the correct merchanidising techniques.  Kimo Stowell was the first person that I read using that term and he was absolutely spot on. Great post.

Linda, I like the contrast of the dark finish on the furniture against the white walls.  The dining area light fixture is unusual and helps define the space.
