Small changes that have the greatest impact when staging a home!
Living Room Before
Living Room After
As you can see from these before and after photos. I simply remove the corner section of the sofa and added an end table with a lamp and accent pillows. Changed out the curtains and moved the plant to a different location.
Dining Room Before
Dining Room After
In the dining room I had the home owners remove the curtains and added the plant (the plant detracted from the air conditioner unit in the wall).
Master Bedroom Before
Master Bedroom After
In the master bedroom I suggested that they remove the headboard. It took up too much space and it expended 6″ from the wall (radiator was there). By removing the headboard we gained precious space. We used pillow to detract from the fact that there is no headboard. I also suggested that she replace her comforter since it looked worn out. I gave her some suggestions as to what would work . She went shopping and picked out this comforter. We replace the lamps and curtains. Took down family photos and replace with neutral wall art. The transformation speaks for itself!!
- Office Before
- Office after
In the office it was simply a matter of de cluttering and removing the hutch which took up too much space.
- Girls Bedroom Before
- Girl’s Bedroom After
With the girl’s bedroom I had the homeowner remove the wallpaper, which was way to busy and paint the wall instead. They de clutter and removed the curtains.
Bathroom Before
Bathroom After
In the bathroom, I had them paint the cabinet which was worn out and the mirror frame (can’t see). Remove the shower curtain which, was too busy and replace with a simple white shower curtain. These were simple changes that had a dramatic effect on the home. After sitting on the market for five months, when the staging was done, they had an open house and an offer was put in!! Staging doesn’t have to be expensive, for the most part I work with what the homeowner has. Implementing small changes to have the dramatic effect we want.If you need help staging or redesigning your home call Abella Home Staging & Redesign, Long Island New York, and let’s get started today!
Making your Bedroom Serene!
Making your bedroom serene!
Making your bedroom serene doesn’t mean you have to lose style. A soothing bedroom doesn’t have to be boring. Here are some easy step to achieving the bedroom of your dreams!
- Imperfection-don’t try to fight it, instead embrace and work around it. Long narrow horizontal windows can be a problem but if you get floor to ceiling curtains, that will give the illusion of wider windows.
- Matchy, Matchy-this is one place you can and should match. Matching nightstand , lamps these will give the room a symmetric look and feel to the room. This will enhance that soothing feeling that we want to achieve.
- Fabric-use fabric that can withstand stains
- Color-when choosing sheet for your bed, my rule of thumb is to match the bedspread. Too many color are jarring to your sense.
- Be practical-don’t try to have a high fashion bedroom that only looks good but is difficult to live in. Be practical and make it livable.
Remember this is your bedroom, use items that will appeal to your sense. Limit the amount of furniture (over crowding is a huge problem in bedrooms) and if you can at all help it, don’t put your office in the bedroom. Think 5-star hotel feeling and you won’t go wrong.
Beautiful and Serene!
