Do You Include These Principles in your Home Design?

Most Interior Designers know the Principles of Design, I’m not one, but I have an Interior Designer in my company and we talk about these principles now and then. We also use these principles in Home Staging design – or try to – and can make or break the design. These photos from other designers are right on in their Principles of Design!

Balance – a sense of visual weight of the elements. I like symmetrical – centered fireplace with two identical chairs facing each other, or this bedroom by Justin Lawson. Notice the side tables; it’s like a mirrored image. I just love this room.

Rhythm – a repetition of elements in a design scheme. Note the design by Kim Coleman where she repeats the squares in the bedpost onto the wall with the square mirror. Repetition can be done with color and visual interest, but the design must include a sense of unity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emphasis – elements in a design that are more significant than other features in a room. This is one of my favorites. In our home staging, we’ll take a favorite piece of art, furniture piece or wall covering and make it stand out from the other subordinate pieces. A room looks lifeless without emphasis from Interior Design Basics. The area rug pulls all of the other pieces together; could you imagine this room without the rug?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scale – using an area rug, art or furniture selections that are too small. Very important in home staging too when there is no scale used in the overall room design. Your design will look weak. This look is complete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harmony – this is created by the design, itself. Unity and variety need to exist in a room to get harmony by using colors, textures, patterns and variety. All of these photos are excellent in a complete design feel.  Isn’t it a “feeling” when you find that perfect house on the market?

Home Staging with Rental Furniture

I’m sure many of you have some confusion on whether or not to use a home staging company that uses a furniture rental company and why.  Having the choice of many furniture pieces gives us the flexibility to stay within the homeowner’s or investor’s price range.  Consider these 5 points:

1.  There are many collections of furniture to choose from -  traditional to contemporary.

DC Redesign creates that Ahhh feeling for your buyer using a collection of coordinated, comfortable packages and we have the choice of an extensive inventory of high-caliber furniture and accessories.

2.  Renting provides a wide array of accessories, rugs, lamps, and floor plants.

DC Redesign uses pieces from our collection, but when a it seems right we also choose from rental accessories, lamps, plants/trees and that perfect color of rug to tie your design altogether.

3.  After each use in a home staging the fabrics are cleaned and the wood is polished and well taken care of.

At the time of delivery each piece is in excellent condition. After every staging the pieces are cleaned, repaired (if needed) or taken out of stock and replaced. You never have to worry about the furniture not being up to par.

4.  Deliveries are on time and keep you in mind.

From the time of contract delivery can be up to as fast as 24 to 48 hours on business days.  You won’t have to worry about the our team nicking up any doors or walls, and scratched or dirty floors; all furniture pieces have felt pads on legs using our five-star installation team.

5.  Pricing is always within your budget!

Our estimates are based on the rooms YOU want staged. DC Redesign suggest staging the main rooms – Living Room (sofa, chair, cocktail table, end table and lamp), Dining Room (dining table and 4 chairs),  and Master Suite (queen bed, dresser, mirror, nightstand and lamp) – PLUS all rooms include art, accessories, and plants. Choose from 1 month, 2 month or 3 month packages.

DC Redesign is committed to making the sale of your home stress-free and effortless for you each and every time!  Call for pricing; we work with you!  (714) 815-3506.

Home Staging is a Definite Yes!

Home staging projects are very exciting, fun and… a lot of work. You will agree viewing before and after photos that home staging is a definite for your home to create a feeling of warmth and bring some life into your property.

The location of your home can be very important when a beach location can add $25,000 and up to your listing price. It is one of the main components of home staging to spotlight any extraordinary view such as the ocean, lake, greenbelt or mountains and the backyard or patio.  These all add value to your listing price. Some homes have small backyards or no yard at all, so it is essential that the patio be set up, the gardens weeded and have newly planted flowers displayed in beds or pots.

A bad home staging job can actually take away from the sale of your home. You want the buyer to focus on the positive points inside and out of your home. Empty houses are “cold.” The layout of the furniture is extremely important, especially if the purpose of the room is unclear. Furniture placement pulls the rooms together, accentuates any specific architecture in your home and creates a wonderful “flow” plan throughout. This helps your buyers’ visualize the value of your home’s potential.

Home staging creates a place your buyer can see himself living in and a place to call “Home!” Contact DC Redesign for home staging or conceptual design – (714) 815-3506. We put the AHHHH into homes.  Does YOUR home have that AHHHH feeling?
