Hotel Design Inspirations for Your Westfield Home Staging

July 13, 2018 by Scott Gleason

When selling your Westfield home, you might want to think about your favorite luxury hotel. High-end fixtures. Gorgeous views. Plush bedding. All of this screams opulence and keeps you coming back for more. Why not use luxury hotel design inspirations when staging your Westfield home? Instead of selling four walls and a ceiling, show buyers the lifestyle they’ll enjoy once your home becomes theirs.

Use luxury hotel design inspirations when staging your Westfield home to sell. Create a lifestyle for buyers to picture for themselves.

First impressions last. There’s a reason luxury hotels focus so much attention on their lobbies. For your Westfield home, take hotel design inspirations from luxury lobbies into your entryway. Fresh flowers in decorative vases invite potential buyers inside. If possible, add a pretty bench with luxe throw pillows. Update or add a chandelier for an elegant touch.

Accessories

The goal of home staging is to create a story for buyers. They need to picture themselves living in this space. The next one of my luxury hotel design inspirations involves accessorizing. Only utilize a few pieces of artwork for your walls. One or two large pieces for a room (depending on its size) should be sufficient. Sprinkle treasures throughout your home that you picked up along your travels. But keep them to a minimum. For example, two or three objects close to each other tell a story. More than that looks like clutter.

Color

Neutral backdrops appeal to more buyers. However, monochromatic color schemes bore the eye. Keep walls, flooring, upholstery and window coverings in neutral shades. But, only choose one or two brighter colors to add as accent pieces throughout your Westfield home. Add these pops of color with throw pillows and/or blankets, vases, table lamps, or picture frames.

Bedding

When you think of luxury hotel design inspirations, plush bedding must be near the top of your list. Add a thick duvet with matching pillowcases, and skirting to your bed. Crisp white sheets always impress. Extra fluffy pillows in complementary colors give your bedroom a truly posh look.

Bathroom

Turn your bathroom into a luxury spa. Add scented candles to your window sill, countertop, and bathtub surround. Use decorative decanters for soap, mouthwash, lotion, etc. Classic white tiles, towels, and washcloths feel fresh as well as luxurious. Keep things simple and classic.

Lighting

Lighting is extremely important when selling your Westfield home. Update your light fixtures wherever necessary. Add lamps and mirrors to darker rooms. When using mirrors, set them up across from windows so they reflect the natural light streaming in. Mirrors in different sizes with exquisite frames make rooms feel larger and create a lovely focal point. Don’t forget that lamp bases and shades provide another opportunity to add a decorative element to any space.

Exterior Living Space

Finally, don’t forget to look to luxury hotel design inspirations for your outdoor living space. Create conversation areas around your backyard. Set up large chairs, lounges, and loveseats outside with oversized cushions. Place hurricane lamps on nearby tables. Add long, flowing, white curtains between pergola posts or on your french doors leading to your backyard. A pretty area rug ties everything together.

Home Staging Brings Westfield Sellers Top Dollar

May 13, 2016 by Scott Gleason

Home staging brings Westfield Sellers top dollar. It’s been proven that an empty house takes longer to sell than a well staged one. Why is that? Buyers have an easier time imagining your space as their space when you set the stage for them.

Home Staging Brings Westfield Sellers Top Dollar

As a Westfield luxury home Seller, you need to set the scene for a potential Buyer. Classic looks make a better impression than a cluttered space. On the other hand, a completely empty home leaves a Buyer feeling empty as well. For a quick, successful sale, you need to make sure you put your home’s best face forward.

De-Clutter – You don’t have to pack everything you own. Take down family photos, books and tchotchkes floating around your Westfield home. You can also make rooms feel less cluttered by taking out one or two pieces of furniture. Clear kitchen and bathroom counters of any excess, such as mixers, toasters, coffee makers, make-up, hair accessories, etc. Leave out only one or two decorative items (a bowl of fruit in the kitchen, a nice basket of artisan soaps in the bathroom).

Paint – Home staging brings Westfield Sellers top dollar. If your paint is chipped, peeling or simply dull, a new coat of a neutral color can transform a drab room into a vibrant area. Paint darker walls a lighter color to brighten the look of the room.

Lighting – You want to bring as much light into a room as possible. Use sheer panels on the windows. Add extra fixtures (desk lamps, floor lamps, sconces, etc) to darker rooms. If you have valuable art pieces on the wall, add a spotlight to highlight them.

Accessories – “De-cluttering” does not equal “vacant”. While walls should stay neutral, you can add pops of color throughout with throw pillows or a brightly colored vase with fresh flowers. If your sofas or chairs are looking a little worse for wear, consider purchasing a light, neutral colored slip cover to place over it.

Keep it Clean – Scrub all walls, windows, cabinets, fixtures, counters, floors and baseboards until they gleam. Pull out the refrigerator and clean the stove. Get rid of any cobwebs throughout your entire house. Buyers will open every cabinet, investigate every closet and check each corner of a home to assess its potential.

Do you want to sell your Westfield home? Home staging brings Westfield Sellers top dollar. It also gets your home sold faster. I believe so strongly that staging makes for better outcomes, that I finance a thorough staging consultation for every client. Contact me to find out how I can help you.
