How to increase your home’s value?

Do you want to speed up your home sale?

Staging is the visual aspect of a property to increase its value. Create a first attractive impression to buyers is a great marketing tool. Anyone that is putting a home on the market for rent or sale can benefit from a home staging consultation.

When potential buyers see an uncluttered and maintained home, they just think this house is worth the asking price.

Even with a small budget, it’s possible to increase your home’s value.
Here are the winning strategies you can apply to help you make changes that bring a higher market price.

• Take a tour of all the rooms of your home from a buyer’s perspective. Take notes and evaluate on paper what you don’t like in your home.
• The entrance is the room where the first impression is made, put a nice lamp on a console table with flowers in a vase, art reflecting joy.
• Clean everything, windows, carpeting, walls, floors, cabinets. Call a janitorial service to clean if you don’t feel like doing it by yourself, you’ll get a good deal and faster service. De-clutter your house for a tidy and clean impression.
• Remove heavy window treatments that blocks light.
• In the kitchen, your counter should be cleaned, remove all items unless they are aesthetically useful. Buyers like space and spacious clean counter. Keep also your cabinets cleaned and organized.

Living Room Decorating

Living Room Decorating

Select furniture with special care

The living room is a place to work, relax and play. It's also the room where friends and family come together, so it has to be a inviting place to linger.

It's the perfect place to "put yourself out there" and display the art, colors, and collections that you love. Living room decorating speak volumes about your personality and how you view the world, so make it accurate account.

The focus is to express your individuality in any design style that suits you. Furnished with comfort and style, a living room can be a place of refuge at the heart of your home.

The living room is the threshold between public and private life. Create a space that's casual, comfortable, and no matter how you furnish it, your room will always be full of life.

Principales of Design

Principales of Design

Simplicity, suitability, and proportion are the three guiding principles of interior design.

• Simplicity means less is more. Keep clutter to a minimum. Don't go over the top. A few objects on a tabletop are fine, but too many are distracting.
• Suitability means considering how appropriate things are for their use. If you are upholstering a sofa, use a fabric that is strong enough for the job, not a delicate fabric better suited for sheer curtains. Suitability also applies to the stylistic or historic context. It wouldn't be suitable to put a modern chrome and glass coffee table into a Victorian-style living room, for example.
• Proportions are all about scale. Furniture and objects should be proportional to the room they are in and to each other. You don't want to fill a small room with large armoires and oversized chairs, nor do you want to put a small crown molding into a large room with high ceilings. Save the upholstery fabric with the big, bold print for the big piece of furniture.
