EastSide Home Staging

Professional stagers are highly skilled artists. They can take a blank canvas and paint a sensuous portrait without ever lifting a paint brush. Stagers possess the skills of a top-level designer and they create dramatic scenery that appeals to all five senses. Here are some of their secrets:

• Arrange sparse pieces of furniture in an appealing grouping known as a vignette

• Showcase a generous usage of soft fabrics such as silk, lambs wool, satin

• Display unusual knickknacks in units of 1, 3 or 5

• Drape window coverings with simple lines

• Add unique elements to shelving, bookcases and fireplace mantels, which draw attention to predetermined areas
