Staging a 1960’s Home to Look Current in 2012

You know the saying, “everything old is new again?” Well that applies to home design trends, too!  As professional home stagers based in Portland Oregon, we see this all the time.

We recently staged a 1963-era home in Beaverton OR that had the clean, contemporary lines that today’s buyers love.  With staging techniques, we can make any home look current, too. It’s amazing how art and accessories can update the feel of a home!

Here are some photos of this home that show how staging helped it become more appealing to potential buyers …

The living & dining area shows big windows & wood floors

But once staged, a buyer can “see” the potential in this contemporary-styled home

This bedroom is small by today’s standards 

But staging gave it a fresh, updated feeling 

Buyers would ask, will a kitchen table fit here?

Staging clearly shows them, No Problem!

The seller left this brick above the fireplace just as it was … and it gave the house a fun vibe!

The kitchen needed a full facelift

And got a nice updated look, all from IKEA (cabinets, appliances, counters, hardware, sinks)

Remember that today’s buyers want a “move in ready” home … so make sure that yours looks like all the hard work has already been done.  For help with making decisions on what items to update for your best return on investment,  contact your local professional home stager for a Consultation … you’ll save a lot of time & money … and likely you’ll sell your home faster, too!
