| Introduction to Staging and Styling:
|
||||||||||
| As I asked you on the home page, can you identify the decorating styles in your home? Reading designer magazines may put you in the know, but chances are you'll need a little more help than that. If you hire a home stager, you'll get plenty of help, but if you're a do-it-yourselfer or don't know who to trust, Join Our Club. I can guide you and you can begin to learn about decorating styles in a few short Sessions together. You can go at your own pace and it could be a lot of fun. Along the way you'll not only get designing tips and terms that the pros use, but |

you’ll get hands on experience with your own projects. Staging is generally thought to apply just to those who want to prepare their home for sale. However, the principles that govern this area are basically the same as those that good decorators use. Our home is the largest statement we make about ourselves and the more we know about what constitutes good style, the better we can represent ourselves. That's why I call what I do Home Staging and Styling, not simply staging or decorating. |

To start with, we are going to take small but significant bites that are designed to put us on the same page. They will be enjoyable as well as stimulating. We will explore decorating terms and dialogue that the professionals use. As things unfold they will help you understand why some things work or don't work. Understanding is always the key to accomplishing anything. So, if your goal is to redesign that guest room or change the look of the family room, then hopefully our information will give you some tools and confidence you will need to tackle those projects. Remember that this information is just that, information. Information is like a blueprint to guide your way. That coupled with your improvisation and imagination can greatly help your decorating schemes. Notice all the various terms floating over the image above. There are 14 and each is significant. For example, how many of you know about the Golden Oblong and it’s classic Greek beginnings? Or, do you know the rhythms of your rooms? We’ll explore all of them and more in our journey together. All in all, I think we can have fun together in our Home Staging and Styling journey and in our club I'd like you to share some of the information, skills and experiences that you’re having or have had along the way. Start thinking about what you want to change in your home. As you do, the creative juices will start to flow. Until next time, happy Home Staging and Styling. |
