INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS

Moody Interiors:

West Elm has some great fall inspired looks right now, and both the velvet and foliage trends are holding strong right now.

We still are seeing marble-topped tables continuing their popularity too.

 

 

 

Jewel tones still continue to dominate on cushions and in wall colours, with emeralds, sapphire and citrine colours all making appearances, sometimes simultaneously.

Fall 2018 is definitely not boring, and we are loving the vibrancy of colours right now and the sumptuousness of velvet fabrics for both drapery and cushions.

It’s time to enliven our spaces with colour and start getting creative!

 

 

 

 

HOME STAGING HINTS & TIPS FOR CALGARY HOME SELLERS

Your Home Staging Checklist For Selling Your Home in YYC

1-Don’t forget closets! Make sure your closet is looking its best, by getting rid of old ugly or bulky hangers. Invest in a box of velvet flocked hangers that are affordable, but also increase your closet space! Those wooden hangers may look pretty but they eat up a ton of space.  Make sure you leave enough room in each closet to make it look like you always have a bit of spare, extra space. Your closets should not be overflowing or full to the brim.

2-Laundry rooms are important too! Home buyers do not need to see what type of detergent you use in your MLS photos, so put these away in cupboards, or, if you only have a shelf, invest in a few inexpensive woven baskets to hide your detergent inside these. Get rid of old hangers, put a few green plants in there, some nicely folded white towels on top of the machine and a piece of art or two and you will have a gorgeous looking laundry room that will look great both online and in person.

And that is our roundup for this week. Happy October! It is just around the corner. Ok, now I can accept pumpkin spice, pumpkin anything really. It’s better than looking at the snowflakes that have recently been falling here in Calgary. Have a great week ahead!
