How does staging an older home differ from staging newer homes?

The staging of an older house is about achieving a good balance. This is about highlighting the original elements of the house, including the crown molding, wooden floors, and original electrical fixtures. But at the same time, update the space to cater to contemporary tastes. In case of old houses, our approach is to give the space an air of lightness and airiness and emphasize architectural aspects without subjecting the customer to old design decisions.

We employ contemporary but evergreen furnishings and accessories that are in harmony with the authenticity of the house to achieve an aesthetically satisfying finish that connects well with the customer in today’s market.

What are some areas of older homes to pay special attention to?

There are certain areas within old homes that must receive special attention so that these areas glow. These are:

  • Living Rooms: The use of neutral tones, light-colored pieces of furniture, and clever lighting can open and warm rooms.
  • Kitchen: We focus on clearing countertops, adding some modern accessories, and highlighting its functional features if the kitchen is small or in need of updating.
  • Bathrooms: Older bathrooms may include vintage fixtures, and therefore we emphasize clean lines and simple accessories to give an updated and fresh feel.
  • Curb Appeal: We can suggest adding some greenery, repainting the front door, or new lighting fixtures to provide the outside of the house with an inviting and welcoming ambiance.

How do you use the space in an older house?

Older homes also contain smaller rooms and atypical floorplans, which cause the space to feel tight. We use clever room-staging to open the space, including reducing unwanted furnishings and using mirrors to bounce light. It is all about achieving sightlines and flow and creating each room to feel uncluttered and functional. We endeavor to place the furnishings in such an arrangement as to create natural paths and to create the home to feel roomy and comfortable.
