IAHSP 2017 Best Vacant Stager I recently returned from Ft. Lauderdale International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP) 2017 Conference and Industry Awards. Like most of us that return from such events, I am trying to wade thru what I can use in my staging business and what I can share with my favorite clients and friends about staging.
At the conference, I received a “Color Basics Designation”. This designation specifically relates to color in staging and home sale preparation.
A few tips to share are:
- Color is one of the most important staging tools. Color is noticed first.
- Color effects buyer’s feelings immediately. First impressions matter!
- 90% of information taken in is color related
- Color draws your eye into a room and highlights selling points/features
- Most importantly color helps create a memory! How will your listing or home be remembered over others?
- The most liked colors for both male and female are blue and green
- Avoid as a wall color: purple, red, pink, orange and bright yellow
If you are working with a seller who needs some color advice or preparing your home for sale and you need a color and staging consultation, I would love to help you make smart color choices to help make your home memorable in a buyers mind!
Thank you to Kristie Barnett, “The Decorologist” and JoAnne Lenart-Weary “Decorating and Staging Academy” for their great educational color presentations at the conference.
