Like clockwork, when the calendar changes to 2012, the phone starts ringing. Our first consultation of the year was with a client readying their home for sale. Premiere Home Stagers had been there before, so we knew that only a few tweaks were needed.
Top on our list of recommendations was neutralizing some paint colors. As buyers begin their search with MLS listing photos, a home with many different wall colors suggests work to the potential buyer. We targeted the living room accent wall and the master bedroom for toned-down color schemes.
Targeted change: Red wall and tree
Warm neutral paint color
The living room now has a more expansive feel with the lighter color reflecting the natural light from the windows on the opposite wall.
Another subtle change was bringing in the round dining table from the kitchen. It lends a bit more formal feel and fits perfectly into the nook next to the staircase.
The rectangular table that was relocated into the kitchen fits that space better as well.
Bedroom before
While the robin’s egg blue paint color was a great complementary color to the pumpkin bed linens, it is a taste specific choice. We suggested a warm neutral tan that contrasts the wood furniture nicely and gives the room a cozy feel.
Fresh look
We also suggested using a window treatment more proportional to the size of the window for a cleaner look.
With a few changes and a bit of organizing, this beauty is now on the market in “move-in ready” condition.
