The staging of an occupied property in Vancouver
Jackson West of Reveal Estate recently had the pleasure of working with Andrea Foxman from Home Ingredients and Cheryl-Anne Priest of Inviting Spaces. Andrea and Jackson currently operate home staging businesses in the Vancouver market. To complete the team, Cheryl-Ann, a home stager from Calgary was enlisted.
Even the most seasoned of stagers know that it takes substantial effort to merchandise an occupied home in its entirety. Never mind in a matter of hours. Having faced such demands in the past, the trio knew what had to be done and wasted no time putting their talents to work. Experience has taught these CSP’s™ that in order to take on a project of this scope, organization and planning are crucial. To add to the challenge no additional furniture or accessories were brought in; making the investment in staging even more cost effective for the home seller.
The crew began the staging challenge by repositioning the largest pieces of furniture first. Doing this created a needed sense of flow throughout the property. It also helped define the functionality of each room. Most of the existing artwork was then removed from the walls and organized by color and scale. After thoughtful consideration they relocated the pieces. This allowed them to enhance the homes structural focal points, and especially in the case of the master bedroom, create increased charm. Andrea, Cheryl-Anne and Jackson know that creating appealing interior spaces makes buyers linger, and helps them to imagine living the depicted lifestyle.
Once the furniture and artwork placement was completed, the team finished dressing the property. By paying attention to detail while editing the home owner’s possessions they were careful not to display too many accessories. Doing so allows potential buyers to see the property details instead of focusing on the contents.
Pictured here are some before and after examples of this amazing, one day transformation.
