		Selling through Interior design Staging has become very popular among real estate practitioners and home sellers alike. The common notion is that a staged home will sell for more money in a shorter time. In fact, when correctly executed, a designed space will find more acceptance and with that more potential buyers than its empty counterpart....

	Quaint retreat in a Colonialtown Bungalow Good interior design is more than the sum of its components. The right combination of color and texture together with the correct flow of space creates what we thrive to achieve: A somewhat unique representation of the room that is universal enough to appeal to a broad audience. This example shows a bedroom that despite its smaller scale appears open and spacious. more bed rooms
		Florida Room Some conversion room like this Florida room, that used to be the covered entry, lack a purpose and need to be defined as usable space. The sitting area takes advantage of the many windows and the view overlooking the serene front yard. It helps to extend the otherwise smaller living area and adds value to property. Important is here to bring the furnishings in scale with the room and showcase the potential of the space. more family rooms
	The lived-in feeling Staging should be at best not detectable. We try to achieve the impression that the room is not decorated for a quick sale but a true representation of a luxurious lifestyle. Buyers should identify themselves with the space and be able to envision how they would fit in the house. When they point to the furniture and say "I like that" is a sale often immanent. Needless to say that the furnishings which influenced the buying decision are seldom part of the transaction. They are a mere catalyst to help buyers to envision their new lifestyle, regardless if this becomes a reality or if it remains an idealistic dream. more living rooms
		Bungalow Charm It is important to know what target audience one tries to attract. A downtown two bedroom bungalow would be the ideal place for a younger clientele or a busy professional, that does not want the commute to the suburbs. Giving an old home the stylish makeover helps to elevate the property from dated to up to date. In his example we combined the low lines of contemporary seating with a small scale dining set in the background to showcase the rooms versatile nature. This makes an initially not so great room a true showcase. The rug helps to define spaces and give a visual separation in this otherwise open floor plan.
	Exterior Spaces The porch had undergone a quick dress up with curtains along the existing support posts. Simple hooks and electrical conduit functions as the curtain hardware. Since these sheers are somewhat exposed to the elements we used durable synthetic fabric. The tiebacks hold the curtains in place and help to create this festive look. This low-tech transformation creates a high impact for less than $ 200. Now this outdoor porch has the appeal of extended living space, ready for entertainment on a grand scale.

	What makes the biggest difference with the least effort? It is probably the bathroom that often seem to remain dreadful uninspired. It is the one place we probably want to keep a secret instead of a presenting it as a showpiece. Let's make it a retreat that one comes home to, after a long day. Lets talk about pampering, give it that luxury hotel aura that we all pay for on our vacations. The two spaces that give a seller the best return of investment are bathroom and kitchen renovations. Here we tried to give the bathroom the extra touches that take it over the top. Compare the before and after pictures. more bathrooms
