So for this room, I asked Michelle to remove all of the pieces and we started
again. We installed light, caramel-coloured sofas (re-positioned so they didn’t
‘block’ the room, but instead created a sense of flow through to the other
rooms), a white shaggy rug, glass coffee table and side tables, a large piece of
beautiful artwork on the side wall, a floor lamp (for extra light and a sense of
luxury), stylish scatter cushions and some beautiful ornaments to layer in
the emotion.
It created a very different first impression!
But in other rooms, the changes needed were very minimal. For example,
in the master bedroom, we simply updated the linen, bedside tables and
lamps. (TIP: It’s great to use large, luxurious bedside lamps – especially in the
master bedroom. It looks grander and more impressive as they ‘frame’ the
bed and add more light! This great styling tip is something we use in nearly
every home, and you should do it too.) Again, we added some beautiful new
artwork and scatter cushions to complete the look.
We talked about de-cluttering the surfaces in the bathroom, re-arranging
the furniture by the pool, upgrading some of the older chairs that were a
bit worn, and removing all those excess pieces of furniture that you have
in your home for everyday living, but need to be taken out for sale (eg.
magazine racks, filing cabinets).
