What is Interior Redesign?

Interior Redesign, also known as One Day Decorating, is the art of rearranging your existing furnishings to create a fresh, new look. This decorate-in-a-day facet of interior design uses proven techniques of balance, scale and proportion to transform your home into a more visually pleasing and functional space.

Using the things you already own and love–or discovering new ideas for the things you might not love so much–Interior Redesign creates attractive, livable rooms that reflect your unique, personal style.

Don’t have a “style”?

Sure you do. We’ll help you discover it.

In most cases, a fresh perspective is all that’s needed to help define your style. Even a hodgepodge of furnishings can look warm and inviting when carefully edited and creatively arranged. When it comes to style…it’s not WHAT you have it’s how you USE what you have that makes the difference.

How does an interior redesign work?

The redesign process begins with a 90 minute in-home consultation. This is an opportunity to get to know each other and to discuss your lifestyle, what you like and don’t like about your current décor and how you and your family use the rooms. During the consultation we may also address any decorating concerns or challenges that you might have and share creative ideas for paint colors, window and wall treatments and future improvements.

After touring your home and taking photos we give you a quote for the redesign of your room/rooms and schedule a time to return for the hands-on transformation. On the day of the redesign, you can go to work, go shopping or go to a movie for the afternoon. When you return, your new space will be revealed just like you see on TV. And, we promise – you’re going to love the results!

Can I really get a whole new look just by moving the furniture?

Yes, you can. The redesign process takes an innovative approach to using what you have and examines how you really live. In most cases, the solutions to your decorating dilemmas already exist in a jumbled mix of your current furnishings. Proper placement is the foundation to every design. With our trained decorator’s eye, we rearrange and repurpose for a fresh, new look creating better harmony, function and comfort. By carefully sorting, prioritizing, rearranging and editing, we create calm from chaos and take so-so to sensational. Our clients often exclaim, “I never would have thought of that!”

My furniture is old and I can’t afford to buy new right now. Can you help me?

Absolutely! You’d be surprised at how the proper furniture arrangement and creative use of accessories can enhance even that old furniture. In these challenging economic times – and for those who are environmentally conscious - an interior redesign is the perfect “green” decorating solution. Remember, in redesign it’s not what you have, it’s how you use what you have that makes the difference. Don’t think old and worn. Think shabby chic, country casual, well-loved and comfortable.

If you’re considering replacing some pieces in the future, a redesign will show you exactly what you need and where to put it. We can provide you with a decorating plan for adding to the new look as time and budget allows.

What is Home Staging?

Simply put, home staging is the process of preparing a house to sell quickly and for top dollar. It is the art and science of highlighting a property’s best features, down-playing its flaws and understanding the psychology of what makes a buyer fall in love with a home.

Why consider “staging” your home for sale?

Because you never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

The first impression is a key factor in selling your home and has a tremendous impact on the final selling price. Studies show that potential buyers form an opinion of a home as they pull into the driveway and have already made up their minds ten seconds after stepping through the front door.

Because those ten seconds are so crucial to the sale of your home, there is no room for oversight. In order to achieve the most desirable outcome–a quick sale for the highest price–your home must be prepared to show at its very best.

I like my home the way it is. Why should I change it to sell it?

Selling a house is different from living in it. When selling, it is important to emphasize the features of the house more than the personalities of the owner. The goal is to create an atmosphere that encourages potential buyers to linger and imagine their things in the space. When a potential buyer says, “This is it. This feels like home” a sale is sure to follow.

At Room Styles Interiors, we change the visual perception of the property to ensure that the home will be shown at its very best. We focus on results geared to assist agents and sellers secure a speedy sale for the highest possible price.

Most importantly, we understand the delicate nature of issues relating to outdated décor, repairs, odors and organization. As an impartial third party, we tactfully convey the importance of neutralizing and de-personalizing thus eliminating any potentially awkward conversations between agent and seller.

Utilizing our home staging services allows the busy real estate professional to concentrate on what they do best...sell properties!

• Staged properties look better in print and internet marketing.
• Staged properties are recognized as premium listings, resulting in more showings and more offers.
• Buyers view staged properties as well maintained and move-in ready.
• Appraisers are more likely to assess staged properties at full value.
• Professionally staged properties sell faster and for a higher price than the un-staged competition.

How much does staging cost?

Staging fees vary depending on the size of the home and the scope of the staging work. In almost every instance, an investment in home staging is much less than the first price reduction.

At Room Styles Interiors, we offer a variety of staging packages based on the client’s budget with comprehensive staging consultations starting at $250.
