Our team recently had the pleasure of getting a large contemporary home in Villanova Pennsylvania ready to sell. It is a spacious home with 8 bedrooms including an inlaw suite, a full finished basement and many rooms for entertaining. We started this project by providing the owner with a consulation for some minor updates that needed to be made and then added the final touches by staging a few key rooms to show buyers how they could enjoy this luxury home with their family. The result? The home looks warmer and more inviting.
Take a look for yourself.
Kate, With this home being so large and contemporary it really was in need of being warmed up and you accomplished that...it looks great. I really like the kids space, it's so cute!
Thanks Donna
I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I usually do not stage contemporary homes so this was a bit of a challenge for me but I think we accomplished a lot on the little budget we had- the majority of the budget went to a new roof, the deck, painting and cleaning. The staging was just the icing on the cake!
I had fun with the kid's space. The home already had 2 offices so I could not see making this a third office. I went to Ikea with my son Ben and he helped me pick out a few items (he is 4) I told him we can use them in his playroom when the home sells. Giving him a lesson on investing in inventory early!

Amazing job as always Kate. Wow, the homeowner sure had a lot of those blue chairs eh? You made them work though. Congrats!
Kate, Fabulous. You did a great job warming this home up. I love how you incorporated an area for the kids. I think we too often try to exclude them in our staging.
thanks ladies- those blue chairs were everywhere! I had originally planned to bring in some alternative chairs but it was not in the budget so I made them work. We were giggling about them when we were staging- everytime we turned around there was another chair! They were actually expensive back in the day! Retro is in so hopefully some one else will love them too. kh
i think that the home was charming and inviting. good color choices for the sofa pillows the little pop of color was on point . i hope that it sells quickly, i am sure that Ben will asked more than once when he will receive his chairs and table back for his newly redesigned play room. : )
Great job Kate. It looks much warmer and welcoming now. It is a beautiful house and I hope you get a speedy sale.
Looks like you met the challenge of a contemporary home head on. It turned out great. I really like the family room and kids space. With the wood floor and stone fireplace staging made all the difference - much more welcoming.
