Highlights of a Home Stager: Nooks and Crannies

19 Jul

Philly is busting at the seems with industrial lofts turned apartments, but not everyone can see the potential in an unfurnished open space.

Lofts are filled with unique nooks and crannies. To some they might seem like wasted space, but when staged this nook makes for a perfect sitting area, unlike any you’d find elsewhere.

An open air loft is a huge selling point, but if it’s undefined it may leave home buyers wondering what use it could serve.

Giving the loft a defined purpose shows its potential.

There’s no denying this place has character!

Highlights of a Home Stager: Streetcar Suburb Home Detailing

5 Jul

With big homes comes big clutter! You would think a home like this would sell in a heartbeat because of its beautiful architecture and history, but a few cluttered rooms is all it takes to turn a home buyer off. I’ve always found that the more space I have, the more mess I make, and this home had a lot of space! We went room by room collecting the clutter and revealing the beautiful home underneath it all.

This entry sitting room was undefined with a too large rug, multiple sofas, floating side tables, and boxes of odds and ends. We cleared out the knick-knacks, angled the furniture towards the focal point, and finished the room off with some light accessorizing.

The dining room was filled to the brim with an antique China cabinet and credenza. When you live in a home these pieces are a great way to display your beautiful collections, but when trying to sell a home they can fill a space and make it feel much smaller than it actually is. A little decluttering, and furniture storage leaves a bright spacious dining room.

The formal living room had some amazing pieces, but there was so much clutter distracting from them, they almost disappeared. Now the green leather sofa is the show stopper it deserves to be, beautifully accompanied by two antique needle point arm chairs.

This airy office is a room some home buyers can only dream of! We kept the floor plan open to leave room for the imagination. These rooms are so large, anything is possible!

An adorable day bed is the perfect set up for a family with children! It even has space for a desk for all that homework!

An attic bedroom that looks like anything but! The light bright colors really make this 3rd floor bed room seem open and airy.

Highlights of a Home Stager: Lofted Living

7 Jun

Lofts are becoming more and more popular as builders continue to convert historic building into living spaces. Living in a building rich with history has become quite sought after, but can come with many complications.

A large problem with lofted living spaces is a lack of adequate lighting. When staging lofts we use many table lamps to adjust for the minute overhead lighting.

A flowing layout is important, much like with any other open floor plan.

Another problem that often arises when turning an industrial loft into a home is the lack of natural lighting. This loft installed a glass window in the guest bedroom to allow natural light from the living room windows to reach it.

Bright art and light colored bedding distracts from the fact that room does not have exterior windows.

Many industrial lofts have exposed ducts, which add interest, but can also get in the way when designing. Staging these areas shows prospective buyers that the ducts don’t have to limit their furniture layout or design.

The loft’s master bedroom has the same problem of a lack of exterior windows. To allow natural light into the room the architects decided to refrain from adding a door to the bedroom. We once again used light colored bedding to create a brighter atmosphere.

Highlights of a Home Stager: Luxury Staging in Rittenhouse Square

10 May

This luxury staging was deigned with modern, sleek designs in mind. A uniquely shaped sectional adds more interest in the large open living space. Many new luxury homes have large windows to let in as much natural light as possible. However, this tends to make future home owners weary about furniture layout. Bringing the sectional forward creates space between the window and the room, keeping the airy feel.

A wide living space requires multiple seating areas. Keeping the furniture style and colors consistent is essential to creating a cohesive style throughout a large room.

The dining room and kitchen were designed with many modern fixtures and finishes. In order to keep the staging consistent with the home’s style we used a combination of furniture with wood finishes and white sleek materials.

The spacious master bedroom was also designed with a large picture window. Strategically placing a settee angled in front of the window makes it seem less overwhelming.

The guest bedroom is bright and airy. A slight and consistent pop of color adds interest, while keeping the design neutral.

A bonus family room continues the modern style with sleek wooden furniture and a modern sofa in a neutral color scheme.

Highlights of a Home Stager: Staging a Traditional Style Home

29 Mar

Traditional Homes are filled with a style all their own. We do our best to accentuate the unique qualities of a home. 6893230_4_0 A large cream dining room needs some color, but not anything that will contradict the refined wainscoting and original stained glass windows. Natural wood tones are the perfect addition. 6893230_6_0 Subtle window treatments, and a few accent pieces are all this kitchen needed. 6893230_7_0 A sun room breakfast nook is a great selling point in this home, so we did our best to create a space anyone would enjoy. 6893230_10_0 We used a combination of existing furniture and some of our own pieces in the sitting room. 6893230_17_0 Bold colors create interest in a mostly colorless room.New bedding puts a fresh spill on a traditional four poster bed 6893230_23_0 The attic bedroom has a quaint feel with a monochromatic color scheme.

Highlights of a Home Stager: Open Floor Plan

Highlights of a Home Stager: Open Floor Plans

11 Jan

Open floor plans are all the rage these days. Many of the new town homes being constructed are jumping on the bandwagon with this recent trend. It’s important to know how to design each room so that it is unique, yet cohesive.

An open eat-in kitchen is great for entertaining. We used browns and different colored wicker pieces to tie the two entertaining spaces together.

The living room is filled with natural light. We decided to use darker brown furniture so we wouldn’t over-saturate the room.

A high top table allows for more seating, without take up much room visually or physically.

Using like colors and textures among the spaces creates one cohesive living space.

More natural light calls for a monochromatic color scheme with pops of orange!

Highlights of a Home Stager: Detailing- Staged & SOLD!

28 Dec

Our second detailing blog! These are becoming more and more popular with the mainline homes. Detailing an occupied home is an important tool for selling your home faster. Don’t make home buyer look past the clutter, show them a move in ready home that they can see themselves in. This home was on the market for over a month when they decided to bring in Sunflower Creations, and that decision really paid off- it sold shortly after!

An undefined entry makes for a poor first impression.

Clutter distracts buyers from the space.

The oversized seating in this room made it seem much smaller than it was. Some smaller, sleeker love seats, simple art work, and a much needed decluttering turned this room into the classy sitting area this home deserved.

A set table makes a world of difference.

Some slight changes make this living room more inviting.

We showcased the amazing bed frame these home owners already had. We also decluttered the bookshelf, making it both functional and decorative. Adding a sitting nook didn’t hurt either!

A formerly unused corner in the basement was transformed into a reading nook using one of the oversized arm chairs from the sitting room.

Highlights of a Home Stager: Designing with Neutrals

14 Dec

Designing with colors is always fun, and when done correctly it can look very sleek. However, most peoples idea of a sleek home involves neutral and muted colors. Neutrals are also great for staging, because they appeal to the masses.

In this living room, for example, we used a monochromatic color scheme that pulls in different whites and grays. The variation of textures-reflective chromes, soft velvets, sleek leather, and numerous patterns- adds a level of interest and keeps the neutrals from becoming dull and boring.
