Decorating is in the Details

Design your house with Fashionable Features to add the Finishing Touch

Cleaning, decluttering and minimizing are the first steps in preparing your house for sale, but once the personal photos have been removed and the old drapes have been replaced, it’s time to add decorative details that give your home a polished, finished look. 

Displaying fresh flowers helps to bring the outside in by adding a natural element to the décor. Along with enhancing the appearance of your home, flowers can also improve the smell by masking any food or pet odors that may have been left behind.




Vases, whether placed alone or in groups, can also create a clean, clear look. Glass vases add a decorative touch without being overwhelming. Crystal items add sparkle to a space that helps your house shine to buyers.





Decorative plates can also add beauty to a room. Dinner plates that you already own or inexpensive ones found at thrift stores or garage sales create a dramatic touch to a dull wall.




















Candlesticks are another way to add drama and dimension to a table, dresser or countertop space. Group candles in pairs, trios or more to create a balanced or high low effect. Either way, candles, especially when lit, will help to give a room a warm, inviting glow. 

















Pillows are a perfect accent to a bed, sofa, chair or bench. Use different sizes, shapes, textures and trims to create a colorful and comfortable space that makes buyers want to sit down and relax.
Adding pictures helps to add color and contrast to a plain wall. Be sure to remove the personal pictures and photos and replace them with tranquil scenes or works of modern art to make the space calm and colorful at the same time.

















Plants, whether real or artificial, are another way to add decorative elements to your space.Use different sizes, types and colors to add depth and dimension to a space. Use them as a centerpiece on the dining room table, as a statement piece on the side of the couch, or even hang them on the wall instead of art to give the room a fresh appeal.




Finally, combine these different decorative elements to create a complete picture that  buyers will love.

From Bland to Bam: How to stage a boring bedroom with basics like Bed in a Bag

Oftentimes people don’t know where to begin when prepping their home to sell. One of the first steps, and often one of the most difficult, is decluttering and depersonalizing the space we call home. Time spent living in a house brings years of knick knacks, family photos and torn and tattered furniture and fabrics. We often fail to notice the wear and tear our carpet, drapes and bedspreads have taken over the years. The hole in the throw pillow where our golden retriever Sophie pulled out the stuffing or the dip in the sofa where dad has a direct view to the television often goes unnoticed by household members, but focused on by potential buyers. Thus, the first step in preparing a house to sell is to pack up all the family photos, flowered vases and doilies knitted by Aunt Sue. Next, paint the walls a neutral color such as beige, white or the light gray in the bedroom below.   After this, minimize the amount of furniture in the room. Two nightstands, a dresser and a be

Prepping a home for sale may seem like a daunting task, especially when your space is slighter with less square footage. Focus on your smaller home’s strengths, while downplaying its weaknesses with these 10 tips to stage your condo,  townhouse  or tiny home. Tip #1 Minimize the Furniture In small spaces, less is more. Focus on putting only essential elements in the room, keeping them small in scale. Glass tables, like the ones on either side of this bed, are ideal because the clearness of the glass gives the impression of airiness and space, while hanging the one-piece lamp and side tables on the wall also helps clear floor space. Tip #2 Light up and declutter a tiny, dark bath Tip #3 Use a Round Dining Table in the Kitchen Buyers like being able to eat in the kitchen, but some kitchens may not offer the space to do so. A countertop with stools or a round table allow buyers the ability to not only cook, but also eat in what may seem
