Stage, Style, Sold!
Buyers smile a little brighter when presented with an Instagram-worthy home. At Grace & Co., we understand that properly staging each room in a home not only makes buyers’ hearts beat a little bit faster, it also showcases the picture-perfect lifestyle they crave.
Real estate staging has evolved through many phases over the years. At Grace & Co., we view staging as a step towards showcasing what every inch of the home is capable of. After all, the buyer is purchasing the property and the prestigious way of life the home and neighbourhood have to offer.
There are many ways to ensure a home is staged to display its full potential, including using properly scaled furnishings and mimicking high-end retailers to modernize a home’s feel. Staging is the best way to visually represent the maximum usage of each room while showcasing its beauty, ensuring buyers feel an instant and lasting connection to the space.
3 Hunt Club Drive
Creating an airy flow is a crucial part of staging a home. We want each room to tell a story through texture, style and color as buyers scroll or walk through the space. With repetitive patterns, accent colours and well-placed design pieces, a home puts its best foot forward, encouraging buyers to fall in love with the possibility. This is exactly what we did at 3 Hunt Club, giving the rooms a uniform look with matching colors and textures, as well as eye-catching modern lighting.
The furnishings used to stage the prestigious 3 Hunt Club were carefully selected to reflect the potential of each room. The Grace & Co. staging team used some furnishings found in the home and chose to update others to allow for ease of flow from room to room. The stagers re-arranged the furnishings in the front family room to have the larger sofa by the window. The two chairs facing the sofa allow the buyer to visualize how larger pieces of furniture fit into the room with ease. This arrangement provides openness and space, giving a better flow.
The staging team also brought in a larger sofa and chairs to fill out the space in the back living room. A new rug and matching end tables were added to complete the look. There was also a home office space set up to showcase the multi-functionality of the room.
Our team displayed the vast potential of the room above the garage by adding a bed to create an additional bedroom. This expansive room can have multiple usages, but it is essential to show buyers that a bed can easily be accommodated if desired. A bedroom is where we all go to relax and recharge; therefore, it is necessary to stage every potential bedroom with upgraded furnishings, modern end tables, and luxurious bedding and accessories. Perfectly placed wall art and modern lighting complete the look, providing that HGTV feel buyers dream about.
At Grace & Co, staging to us is on par with haute couture. Like on the runways of Paris, where innovative fashion makes its debut each season, modern home décor and design follow the changing trends. In style, trends come and go. Homeowners cannot be expected to keep up with popular colours and the latest design innovations. With the help of our professional staging team, homeowners can update the style in their homes with ease. The staging team at Grace & Co. will recommend which paint colours are the current choice of top designers and provide the furnishings and accessories found in the latest style guides making every Grace & Co. staged home magazine-worthy. At 3 Hunt Club, a crisp white paint colour was selected, reflecting the current trends, brightening the home with a neutral pallet.
We love nothing more than working with our sellers to put their best foot forward when going to market. Our experienced staging team will make suggestions to ensure the best features of each room are undeniable. We work with our sellers to help move and store any furnishings that will be removed, making the process as seamless as possible.
