Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. . .

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. . . 
Mirrors have been used for centuries not only for practical reasons but for decorative ones in the home.  Many people hang mirrors like art - above a sofa, above a mantle or a sideboard and so on.  However, I wonder though how many people actually give thought as to what the mirror is actually reflecting besides their own reflection.  To be properly placed the reflection of the mirror needs to be looked at from different angles.  Is the reflection pleasing or is it reflecting a less than appealing view like the ceiling or an open storage unit or a cluttered corner?  Does the mirror's reflection allow you to "peak" into a neighbouring space or room?  Mirrors properly hung can open up a room giving the illusion of greater space.  As well, light reflected from the outside can brighten up a space adding warmth. Take care though not to reflect the light (and energy) back outside.
When Staging a home for Selling it is important that these details not be overlooked as the impression that reflections make are reflected back onto the owners and the presentation of the home.  To make sure that the mirrors in your home reflect the image you want others to see, contact HomeReady Home Staging.  Reflecting the best your home has to offer to propsective buyers is what we do!  613-894-4155, homeready@homereadyhomestaging.ca

The Quick Fix

The Quick Fix
It has become apparent that many homeowners don't want to spend too much money on Home Staging Show Casing.  I don't blame them as many have already spent a bundle on repairs, upgrades and painting.  So they may have their house well on its way to looking really good.  It just needs that "icing on the cake", so to speak, "the jewellery for the outfit". . . you get the picture!  What they really need then is to Show Case their house to attract immediate buyer attention so that their house sells quickly and they realize the most equity from this sale.  The Quick Fix is the answer.  Once all the work is completed and the house is cleaned, the HomeReady Team will come in to rearrange the house to show off the house's best assets using only the homeowners furnishings and accessories.  We will creatively get their house ready for picture taking and listing.  We can also take those great pictures too for marketing the house for sale.  This is a very affordable service.  Do contact HomeReady Home Staging for more details.  613-894-4155 or homeready@homereadyhomestaging.ca
