When selling your Westfield home, you might want to think about your favorite luxury hotel. High-end fixtures. Gorgeous views. Plush bedding. All of this screams opulence and keeps you coming back for more. Why not use luxury hotel design inspirations when staging your Westfield home? Instead of selling four walls and a ceiling, show buyers the lifestyle they'll enjoy once your home becomes theirs.
Luxury Hotel Design Inspirations for Your Westfield Home Staging
Entryway
First impressions last. There's a reason luxury hotels focus so much attention on their lobbies. For your Westfield home, take hotel design inspirations from luxury lobbies into your entryway. Fresh flowers in decorative vases invite potential buyers inside. If possible, add a pretty bench with luxe throw pillows. Update or add a chandelier for an elegant touch.
Accessories
The goal of home staging is to create a story for buyers. They need to picture themselves living in this space. The next one of my luxury hotel design inspirations involves accessorizing. Only utilize a few pieces of artwork for your walls. One or two large pieces for a room (depending on its size) should be sufficient. Sprinkle treasures throughout your home that you picked up along your travels. But keep them to a minimum. For example, two or three objects close to each other tell a story. More than that looks like clutter.
Color
Neutral backdrops appeal to more buyers. However, monochromatic color schemes bore the eye. Keep walls, flooring, upholstery and window coverings in neutral shades. But, only choose one or two brighter colors to add as accent pieces throughout your Westfield home. Add these pops of color with throw pillows and/or blankets, vases, table lamps, or picture frames.
Bedding
When you think of luxury hotel design inspirations, plush bedding must be near the top of your list. Add a thick duvet with matching pillowcases, and skirting to your bed. Crisp white sheets always impress. Extra fluffy pillows in complementary colors give your bedroom a truly posh look.
Bathroom
Turn your bathroom into a luxury spa. Add scented candles to your window sill, countertop, and bathtub surround. Use decorative decanters for soap, mouthwash, lotion, etc. Classic white tiles, towels, and washcloths feel fresh as well as luxurious. Keep things simple and classic.
Lighting
Lighting is extremely important when selling your Westfield home. Update your light fixtures wherever necessary. Add lamps and mirrors to darker rooms. When using mirrors, set them up across from windows so they reflect the natural light streaming in. Mirrors in different sizes with exquisite frames make rooms feel larger and create a lovely focal point. Don't forget that lamp bases and shades provide another opportunity to add a decorative element to any space.
Exterior Living Space
Finally, don't forget to look to luxury hotel design inspirations for your outdoor living space. Create conversation areas around your backyard. Set up large chairs, lounges, and loveseats outside with oversized cushions. Place hurricane lamps on nearby tables. Add long, flowing, white curtains between pergola posts or on your french doors leading to your backyard. A pretty area rug ties everything together.
