Creating a beautiful room with paint!

Creating a beautiful room involves many different elements: color, creativity, placement, furniture, and accessorizing. One of the most important and intimidating is the process of color. Many of my clients will fall back to neutral beiges (when done right, beiges can be very cozy), which may result in the room feeling half done. Working with a certified “Color with No Regrets Consultant” can help take the guesswork out of the process, resulting in a beautiful room!

Here are just a few tips to consider when choosing color:

1. Keeping the wall and floor color in similar tone will make the room appear larger.


                    



2. Lighting makes a significant impact in a room. Will you be using incandescent, LED, or fluorescent? Each gives off its own effect.

 




3. Did you know that every color has a warm and cool version? If you choose the wrong version, it could have a devastating effect in your room. Color can literally make or break a room!!

4. Using color at least 3 times and in 3 different zones will create interest and movement in a room.



 5. Ceilings are an excellent area for adding additional interest to a room.




These are just some of the things to consider when decorating a room. As a certified color specialist and owner of Abella Home Staging & Redesign, I have seen rooms that would have otherwise been beautiful, fail due to the fact they chose the wrong color. Don’t make that mistake!! Hiring a color specialist is pennies on the dollar when you consider what the labor and paint will cost you!!

Art of Accessorizing


The appeal of a beautiful room has many aspects, physically, visually, and emotionally. Every room needs careful attention, from floor to ceiling. Each step builds upon the next. Careful consideration must be taken when accessorizing and creating a room. Keep in mind the style and "feel" you are trying to create. What story are you trying to convey?

Here are just some things to consider:

1. Create interest by using unexpected art for accessorizing.
   
     
  2. When decorating, odd numbers work best.


  3. Placing a mirror over a mantel will only reflect the floor, so don't do it!!


 4. Use old windows, textiles, etc. to create a unique display.


  5. Create your own art or accessories.



6. Hire a professional like Abella Home Staging & Redesign; we're not as expensive as you think and you will have a one-of-a-kind room.

Whatever you do, have fun doing it. The key is to use art and accessories that feel personal and reflect your taste!!

Vacant Staging



Are you frustrated your vacant home is not selling? Afraid it may not sell? These are just some of the concerns many sellers deal with when selling their vacant home. Most homeowners have no clue what it really means to have a vacant house.  

Vacant homes suffer from neglect. This is where I can help. As a stager and decorator, I know what the buyers want. I can help get your home ready for the market. Eliminate the stress on how to best present a vacant house. Just staging a few rooms can make all the difference in the world.



If you’ve brought home before then, you know that falling in your love with the house is critical. If you're a first-time buyer, what draws you into the house? Emotional connection. Buyer may have a list of items they want the house to have, BUT it’s the emotional connection that will actually get them to make an offer. Buyers are attracted to a good design house. They picture themselves living there. 

If your home is not presented that way, then the buyers won’t come. 


Selling your home is not an easy process. Because your home is vacant, you worry about vandalism. The carrying cost is a significant financial burden.  Not to mention the stress it puts on your family.



We can help! Staging your home will shorten the time your house is on the market. This will enable you to return to your normal life. 

So before you list your vacant home consider staging it. I promise it is worth the investment.
