The Staging Girls blog about what it takes to be a stager in the staging business.  Design and style is always changing with the seasons and the times, and the Staging Girls are still keeping pace.  We did an interview with Urban Rush, and you can check out all the fun and pick up some quick tips at www.staginggirls.com.*

If we were to leave Urban Rush viewers with one staging tip, it would be to focus on color.  Color can either be a major distraction to potential buyers when over used.  Or it can work to your advantage as a quick fix to distracting buyers from problem areas like furniture that isn't scaled with the room, or to simply freshen up a space.

1) If possible, use furniture with a neutral base and add splashes of color through accessories.

2) If your furniture has too much color, use creams and browns in your accessories to neutralize the look.

3) Keep in mind that the goal of staging is to showcase your home, which means creating a well balanced design.  To avoid taking away from the features of your home, stick with 3 colors in similar tones that compliment eachother, and try to pick up those colors throughout your complete home.  Your home will flow better and feel like one cohesive unit as buyers move from one room to the next.

This basic color design tip will carry you a long way, and stay tuned for more tips!
