New Home Staging Ideas

New Home Staging Ideas

When staging your home for sale, the key is to try to think like your potential buyers. You want to feature the positive things about your home, while minimizing the things that aren't so positive--without having to spend huge sums of money in the process.

New Home Staging Ideas

One simple, relatively inexpensive thing you can do to enliven your home's décor is to add some plants. They almost always add a touch of hominess and vigor to a room. Of course, you'll need to make sure they thrive. Few things look worse, or give a more negative feeling to a room than dying plants.
Looking dispassionately at your home is critical to staging it for sale. For instance, if you have a prized collection, regardless of what it may be, it's probably worthwhile to pack it up and send it to your temporary storage facility while your home is on the market. The key is that while you see "a collection," a buyer sees "clutter." That means that they get psychologically caught up in the clutter of your collection and forget to look at the house itself, which may cost you a sale.

New Home Staging Ideas

It's not easy, but removing your personal feelings from the place that has been your home is vitally important to being able to successfully stage it for sale. While your home is on the market, it's best to remove everything that isn't basic for your day-to-day needs. As a general rule, the less stuff in your home, the better, because it gives buyers a better opportunity to envision their own belongings in that room.

New Home Staging Ideas

Though it won't be easy, you must let go of your house. After all, it's no longer your home. It's just the place you're staying until you can move into your NEW home. In essence, your house has become nothing more than a commodity that you want to sell to the highest bidder as quickly as possible. That means you want to stage it well to show it off in its best possible light.
Sometimes it can be helpful to ask an impartial friend to walk through the house with you and offer their suggestions and first impressions of rooms as they enter and walk around. This can be an eye-opener, but never take what they say personally. Remember, you have asked their honest first impressions, regardless of what they may be. The more you can remove your personal feelings from your home and begin to see it through the eyes of potential buyers, the better your chance of selling your home quickly--and at a better price.

Doors are one of the most important parts of any house; we have a lot of doors in our houses from front door to patio doors and in side the house many interior doors, but same old straight piece of wood or vinyl hanging in wall. Don't you feel bored because of these monotone scenes, so let's be creative and show your aesthetics and get a change in your interior? I will give you some simple but creative ideas for your interior doors which you can easily do that.

Mirror: though it is not a very unique idea and you must have seen such plane glass doors before, but you just need to be a little more creative, interior doors usually have plane surface, so just cut fine mirrors in the shape of any object, or just cut into geometrical shapes and paste them on the plane surface of the door. If you color the door according to the theme of the mirror design it will enhance the beauty of the door.
Painting; you have a massive range of creativity in painting. Paint any kind of design on your door. If you are good at painting then you have got so many blank canvases just take out your pallet and start showing your aesthetics, paint a fresh scene of country site, or sun set on the beach. You can just paint an image of a window in the middle of the door which shows the actual set up of the room of the same place from that particular angle. Or if you are not that good at art don't worry, simple pattern of polka dots with attractive color contrast will boost the beauty of your door. Simple zebra base with a striking orange flash pattern will look gorgeous.
Coins; ask your kids for a favor take their piggy bank and stick all the coins on the door haphazardly, and spray dull gold paint on the edges of the door, if you want to make it more elaborate, add few synthetic stones and give it a theme of treasure.
Chalk board; this is another useful idea, rather tip, get an original chalk board fixed in the door panel for the kids room. Children would love to have the board in their room and you won't have to worry for the art they practice on their usual doors.
So explore your inner artist and bring out more new ideas to get beautiful interior doors.

Home Staging Ideas

Home Staging is the impressive and crafty art of transforming a home, inside and out from a "lived-in" look (our house) to a "model home" appearance (your house) that's intended to command the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time.

• Staging gives sellers a better financial advantage by helping homeowners maximize equity gain from the sale of a property.
• Helps buyers to better envision themselves and their family living inside the home.
• Statistics from Staged Homes.com show an average of a 3 percent minimum increase in final sales price on staged homes verses non-staged properties.
• Staging gives buyers a good first impression that's designed to incite emotional attachment.
• National statistics show that staged properties attract more potential buyers and sell faster, and for more money than non-staged comparable homes
• Home Staging Professionals are highly skilled artist who use top-level designer techniques to make a home more attractive to buyers
• Real estate agents are more likely to show homes that are professionally prepared and agents are better able to support a higher list price
• Staging is an investment. A staged property will always be much less than the average cost incurred from the first price reduction (and in some cases, the second reduction), once a home is listed on the market. National statistics show an average price reduction on homes in the United States and Canada is 5 to 10 percent of the asking price sellers experience less stress after their home sells.
• When a house sells fast, there are fewer open houses, and less advertising cost for real estate agents.
• Excellent way for For Sale By Owner (FSBO) to maximize equity.
• Listing photos are more attractive in fliers and Internet advertising.

When you think of contemporary interior decorating, what comes to mind? Is it crisp, clean and modern? If this is what you're seeing when you hear the word contemporary, then you are right on the mark. If this style is appealing to you, then it's likely that you're considering using some contemporary interior decorating ideas for your home. Before you rush out and buy that sleek modern new sofa, however, you need to know if you are really ready for this type of home decor.
When you embark on any type of interior decorating and are working to choose a style for your chosen space, it's important to know for sure what style appeals to you. Before you even begin planning, it's a good idea to visit a furniture store that offers many different styles of furniture, including contemporary, so that you can see which decorating style makes you feel most comfortable. You can always tell what style of interior decorating is best for you because it seems to draw you in. You can imagine yourself living among the objects that are part of this style. This is thought to be especially true of contemporary interior decorating.


In short, contemporary interior decorating is more about clean lines and color than it is about decorations and clutter. In order to have a truly contemporary room, you should focus on the pieces of furniture and chose neutral colors for a backdrop. If you're worried that decorating your home in a contemporary style will be cold and uninviting, then you really need to get some ideas.
Contemporary decorating isn't like it used to be; it simply focuses more on space and light than dark and small. Don't choose floral patterns, ruffles or ornate furniture if you are working to create a modern space. Instead, choose a modern, comfortable sofa in a stand out color and keep the rest of the room neutral, with splashes of color placed strategically.
Don't be afraid of contemporary interior decorating, because once you get the hang of it, you will find that it's really not that hard. Choose a color to pop and a color for a backdrop and many people say that the rest will fall into place. Keep your floors bare and do away with carpeting, except for industrial style area rugs if you need them.

Modern & Fantastic Hill House Design of Lima Residence by Abramson Teiger Architects

Modern Hill House of Lima Residence

Here is The Lima Residence, a modern hill house that designed by Abramson Teiger Architects where located in in Calabasas, California. Situated on the edge of a natural preserve this house takes full advantage of the uninterrupted natural landscape that it faces. A series of connected folding roof and wall planes clad in metal were strategically positioned to accentuate views of canyon below and mountains beyond. At points the folded walls lift up revealing poured in place concrete walls that enclose much of the first floor spaces. The compound consists of the main house building and the garage, guest room building which are separated by a courtyard. The house form is a rectangle, in plan, with the long side composed of large glass doors and windows that face the view. The plan is essentially open with living -dining room and family room separated by a free-standing cabinet.

Natural Landscaping of Lima Residence

The living –dining space is voluminous with its 14 foot high ceilings and clear story windows. It opens to the kitchen which runs perpendicular to the main space. The dining sequence transverses the living space in a series of spaces that each open up to the other and to the exterior in a dramatic manner. The kitchen has a series of sliding doors that disappear into a wall resulting in the exterior eating patio and the kitchen to be unified as one eating cooking environment. Likewise the kitchen and formal dining area are open to each other and are on the same axis. They face the view and connect to the exterior with another set of sliding doors that open up completely.

Opened Dining Room of Lima Residence

The form of the house is conceived as a series of folding roof planes clad in factory painted charcoal gray metal. At some points the metal roof is either folded up or down to become wall planes. These walls frame openings that are focused on the view to the hills beyond. At points the folded walls lift up revealing poured in place concrete walls that are part of the first floor enclosure. A wood grained phenoelic resin clad “box” protrudes from the house. The “box” which is a storeroom, has a greater purpose of truncating the visual axis on approach to the glass front door, and is an integral part of the enclosure that makes up the exterior eating patio. The wood grained resin panel box thrusts into the house, containing the kitchen, and introducing a warm hue to compliment the palette of natural materials.

Modern Living Room Ideas of Lima Residence

Behind the kitchen is a raised landing area that leads to the steel staircase. This landing separated from the family room by a built in bar, is an in informal study and home office. The staircase is a steel butterfly frame with apparently floating wood treads that lead to the second floor master bedroom suite. The stair is free of the perimeter walls The swimming pool runs parallel to the house and is a blue dash of water that compliments the view to the natural preserve. Between the pool and the house is a strip of low maintenance artificial turf. The pool forms one edge to the courtyard between the two buildings. A fire pit is the focus of this outdoor living space. There is a strong indoor outdoor connection reinforced by large sliding doors and glass walls that visually unite the interiors with the exterior.
