Real Estate Staging, Organizing, and Redesign Consultations
|
Real Estate Staging & Organizing "Staging"
is to reassemble, organize and stage a home to go on the market for sale (or for your own enjoyment). First
impressions are very important when selling a home. It may take potential buyers only a few seconds
to decide if your house if right for them. Good staging is effective when potential buyers walk into a house and can
visualize all their hopes for their new life within your home. I take advantage of those initial moments by creating an inviting
space with a broad appeal to a wide range of buyers. When we arrive to stage or redesign the selected room(s) in your
home we: - Make the best use of furniture and accessories you already have.
- Rearrange furniture, lighting and artwork to show off the best view of each room.
Assist you to depersonalize
and de-clutter the space. Suggest paint colors, where appropriate. If needed, we recommend reputable contractors.
- Northland Kitchen & Design Consulting can take the hassle and stress out of preparing
your house for sale. Before you set your selling price or consider a price adjustment, call us for a consultation to
professionally stage your home!
"It's not about how much you
spend on furnishings or renovations, it's about the careful consideration and placement
of all the items in your home".
- Color Consultations
I think about this when I walk into a room..."what is the first thing that interrupts my eye"? Is
it pleasing? Or is it distracting me from seeing better features of the room? If it's not the wall color, but something
less desirable, then paint can often be used to distract you from less than perfect furniture! Using paint is the single most
cost effective manner you can manipulate a space with. "Color and your surroundings can affect your
state of mind more than any other design element".
- Clutter Coordinating:
Is to reassign and allocate space for high use items and papers that need to be accessible but established in a systematic
manner for function and appeal. Seeing is believing! And success begins with a fellow's will. It's
all a state of mind. If your surroundings have collected clutter, it's probably safe to say that your mind has too!
Take 15 minutes each day to de-clutter an area and clearing
your hot spots. This can be a powerful tool to create a more peaceful home. Here are a few tips to free
yourself from clutter whether it be at home or in the workplace.
1)
Decide how often you are going to de-clutter a zone. Do a little very day - and use a timer.
2) Only do a small amount at a time and set up some boxes the are labeled "Give Away", "Throw
Away" and "Put Away".
3) Just do the job as fast as
you can and do not pull out more stuff than you can put away in that length of time. This can mean just one drawer,
one closet - or even one shelf in a closet, one magazine rack etc. Do not attempt to do all of them at once! 4) Start off by cleaning out and getting rid of the things that do not belong in
this room.
If you are still feeling overwhelmed and just can't get yourself
to begin, there is help! Give us a call to discuss your needs!
