Home Staging with Neon ColorWhether it’s apparel, home furnishings, wall paint or automobiles, a new palette of color for design, fashion or home, changes from year to year.

Home decor colors for 2012 remind me of the 1970′s with all the neon colors coming back into design. Your first-time-buyers will love the retro look of the clean and sleek lines in the furniture and clean bright rooms.

Painting your celingAccording to Benjamin Moore, the color of the year is Wythe Blue (HC-143). I’ve always loved the soft pewter-blues paired with sand colored tans to create a feeling of being near the ocean. A lot of earth and sky colors, purples, mustard yellow, tangerine and butterscotch are also here for 2012.

If you’re uncertain of the color to choose for your rooms, pull them out of your favorite piece of artwork or wall hanging. Or choose an accessory, piece of furniture or any collection you will not part with and make it your focal point of color – works every time. But also include black or white, these “colors” are actually neutrals, and will complete the design. Remember to use complimenting colors for additional rooms throughout your home to create a flow from room to room.

Create a flow from room to room of colorUsing the focal point of the room, (the fireplace in this instance) add a brighter color to make the room look interesting. Paint one wall and add pillows, candles or vases in this same wall color.

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?
