Vanessa Nielsen, principal designer at Encore Staging Services, undertook a significant renovation and staging project for a 1976 home in San Jose, California. The home required comprehensive updates including flooring, paint, and design enhancements. Renovating outdated features such as brown carpets and repainting with a uniform white palette helped modernize the space. By creating an open layout and maximizing natural light, Nielsen transformed the property into a desirable asset in the competitive real estate market. The substantial investment in staging and design ultimately paid off, signifying the impact of professional stage work in home sales.
I advised a full carpet upgrade, recommending a light, off-white carpet with a subtle pattern for every room, to bring the home in-line with the contemporary standards found in national builder model homes.
The 'sterile' look often associated with all-white interiors is due to people incorrectly using glossy sheen on textured walls.
Nielsen says removing the valances ensured more light could come in and created a more expansive view through the window, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
The investment that went into renovating and staging the home paid off completely, transforming it into a desirableListing in a competitive market.
