With the changing of the seasons comes a whole new colour palette to inspire us. Autumn brings back calm and muted dusty pinks, faded yellows, rustic reds, creamy whites and rich chocolate hues. When adding small touches to a room, floral arrangements are such a warm touch, but remember to think outside of the box. There is no need to use just fresh flowers. Play with dried flowers in an array of calming shades. If the space allows, an unruly bouquet of discarded branches heavy with burgundy leaves is just one way you can add a Fall flavour to a room. Here are some beautiful Fall floral ideas ..read more

When staging a room, you are creating a vision for a potential buyer. Here is where you will eat, sleep, daydream, cook, and unwind. Here is your new home. In most rooms, you will require a table, both as a practical piece of furniture and as a stylish spot for holding finishing touches. It can be a fun challenge to choose the perfect style and size of table to match the surroundings. Whether it’s rustic, industrial, petite, round, square, traditional or unusual, we spend the time to ensure every table fits the space perfectly. Here are some recent staging projects with tables of all kinds ..read more

When we stage a living room, the large pieces become a strong base for the room. Choosing a cream, white, or pale beige couch as a starting point for the room can lead to endless design possibilities. A beautiful neutral couch, one that you can sink into, adorned with colourful throw pillows and luxe throws, is an immediate invitation to welcome, relax, and make yourself at home. Here are some cozy couches we covet, along with some recent staging projects that just might inspire your next furniture purchase. {Img Sources: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7} Are you selling your home and need assistanc ..read more

When staging any room, we use a careful eye to choose the best accessories to enhance the space. When it comes to selecting artwork for bedrooms, there are many factors to consider. Is the bedroom easily overwhelmed by a bold print or will that help pull the vision of the room together? Keep in mind the colour palette for the room. The lines of the room. Architecturally, what can the space above a bed support without looking heavy. Size matters too. Do you prefer the bold statement of one large piece of art, or playing with a duo or even a trio of imagery or patterns? Whether we are staging a ..read more

There is a saying how “a rug really brings a room together.” We couldn't agree more! Choosing a rug for any room requires some initial thoughts: what colour palette do you want reflected, what furniture will surround it, what materials are best for the space (soft vs textured etc), and what size makes sense for the space. A neutral colour scheme is always a wonderful idea, but if you love colour, try a muted pattern where the colours don’t jump out and steal the show. With home staging, using rugs is a simple yet wonderful way to create an inviting space that appeals to home buyers. Take a pee ..read more

A beautifully staged home is our mission and passion. We love the challenge of choosing the right furniture, lighting, artwork and more to make your home the most appealing. The small details are particularly fun. As you can see on our Instagram account, little pops of green are the small stars of each space. Plants give off such a welcoming and warm vibe, and small ones with beautiful shapes and unique textures complete a staged room perfectly. Take a peek below for some examples of perfect petite plants in our staging projects! {Img Sources: Urban Presentations Home Staging Projects as seen ..read more

We know over the last few months many formal dining spaces have been over-run with laptops and school supplies as many of us transitioned to being primarily home-based. When we are staging homes we still like to envision a dining space as a special spot where families (and eventually friends) will gather to eat and share and make memories. Even if it is used an all purpose area, how you create your dining space should stay the same: what is the best combination of lighting, chairs, materials and shapes to be an inviting place to enjoy yourselves? Do you prefer modern or classic lighting overhe ..read more

While we adore a natural, neutral and soothing vibe when we stage homes, it is always fun to add an unexpected print to the mix. Animal prints, whether just a pattern or an actual print on the wall, can be used with full colour or black and white which makes them a desirable design idea. Take a peek below for some wild ways to use animal prints in your favourite room! {Img Sources 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6} Are you selling your home and need assistance with home staging? We are here to help while keeping our team members, home owners and realtors safe. During this time, we have adopted ..read more

Are you spending more time in bed lately? As Spring warms up, it’s the perfect time to make your bed, a haven of relaxation and rest, perfect for all the seasons! By layering your sheets, blankets, quilts, and pillows you not only create an Instagram-worthy space, you also have a comfortable spot whether it’s summer outside or the wind is howling at the window. During this time of year when the weather is in flux, with one day warm and the next gloomy, it’s so lovely to be able to simply peel off a cover and fold it at the end of the bed, and then pull it back up to achieve a maximum snuggle s ..read more
