Home Staging New York’s Master Bedroom Fit For A King!

Posted on by

Home Staging New YorkHome Staging New York does not always require a complete gut renovation of a room or the whole apartment.  After all, we offer Lifestyle Staging, not model apartments.  This master bedroom had great storage and built-in lighting.  The ultimate prize was that the room could accommodate a king size bed!  This is a true rarity in New York City’s pre-war buildings.

The crochet afghan and shelves cluttered with books and childish accessories did not exude a sophisticated backdrop.  By adding hotel-style linens to the king size bed, de-cluttering the bookshelves, and adding art, a few lifestyle accents and a floral arrangement, this master bedroom was transformed into a welcoming, sophisticated  retreat.

And the mirror?  Well, what do you think? Kinda fun, no? LOL

Home Staging New York With Endless Views!

Posted on by

Home Staging New York ViewsHow do you stage a property when it is all about endless views? Surely anything you do, would distract from the biggest asset – the view? This is just one of many factors we take into account as we set about home staging New York.  This property presented such a challenge.

You see, when a property is anticipated to attract significant attention from foreign investors and/or buyers, the real estate team might consider staging the property only for marketing photographs and video footage, but not for showings.  Because of our Interior Design background, Amazing Space NYC is often hired to handle this type of project.  We are in and out of the space in a matter of 2 days!

Such was the case with an Upper East Side condominium development that offered several Penthouse Units with panoramic views of the East River and midtown.  Our accent color was inspired by the sky that stretched out from every window.  By creating distinct seating areas in the living room, we successfully eliminated its unappealing bowling alley shape.  Shades of blue were incorporated in accent pillows, rugs, throws, artwork and accessories.

The result: a spacious, elegant entertaining space that offers multiple areas for conversation and endless views.

New York Home Staging – Letting Go Of Your Home So We Can Sell It For You!

Posted on by

New York home staging letting go“It’s been good enough for me all these years!”

Ever heard that?

Often a Seller is hesitant and resists every step we take to help sell the property. I see that: It’s hard letting go of a home you have created. At Amazing Space NYC, we not only come in with a design and renovation plan, we also add a psychological plan to help the Seller release the property so we can neutralize and update it. We frequently need to eliminate the past and bring it to the future . . . and it works, every time!

While it may not seem obvious, this is often a part of the home staging process. Although the home owner HAS to go, or maybe just WANTS to go, there is still this matter of letting go that is often a strong emotional process. There are cherished memories, there are events that took place in that space. The owner often needs help associating talismans or touch points to items they can take with them. This is just one of many tactics that can be useful in releasing this life chapter so that they can confidently step into a new one.

Once a homeowner has detached from their “home” and start to see the property as a product, negotiations become a lot less fraught and emotionally charged. The offers stop being personal, and become merely transactional. Everyone’s job becomes easier.
