#DOOR UMBRA DESIGN HOW TO#
This is the convenient part of having a co-worker who shares 50% of your genetic material! Even when we do disagree on a design element, we have known each other for 20+ years and know how to communicate our opinions in a situation of disagreement. Further, we just select items and work them into the design in a coordinating way.Į: Regardless of when/how we see the home, we usually end up having a similar vision when we discuss. First is figuring out the furniture and then an inspiration piece like artwork or a cool pillow or tablescape influences the other decor pieces we bring in. Of course, it has to be available and within reason. L: It's corny but I get a feeling in most houses and just go with it in making the selections.
How do you usually choose what types of products to pick out for each staging space? What is the process like? We can love a piece of furniture and have dreamt about it in a certain space, but if it is not going to help the house sell or highlight a feature/minimize a deterrent, then guess what? That dream piece does not get used. Sometimes we will theorize an idea in our planning and furniture selection that absolutely does not work when we get on location so here is where the maneuvering and flexibility comes into play. While we have our processes somewhat formulated, this is something that needs to be calculated on a home-by-home basis. Whether this means highlighting features and minimizing others, this is specific to each home. The purpose of home staging is to best showcase a home for sale. While some homes are easy and everything is obvious and works according to plan, the ones that are tricky make my creative heart tick. This is my favorite part because it is where we can run into hurdles. L: My favorite part is the transformation we make to a home, the dramatic difference that bringing in a new piece of furniture, artwork, or using a homeowner's item in a completely new way can have on a home.Į: My favorite part of home staging is determining the design concept for each home. What is your favorite part about home staging? In addition, I push Luise to step out of the box and challenge traditional staging and home decor concepts by using accessories and decor in atypical ways and locations. Since joining, Green Door has seen significant growth especially due to increased social media marketing which I was able to contribute to greatly.

One week into my "little summer job" with Green Door Home Staging, I made one of the easiest tough decisions to leave my school job and original career path and join Green Door full time. Interiors have always been something I was passionate about but had never explored as a career option. I was working in a school at the time and had decided I would help my mom out a few days a week during my summer vacation. It was in Iowa where the business truly grew because of the diverse market and the immense amount of new construction.Įmily: While I always supported my mom in her business from its inception, I was on my own career path in Occupational Therapy. In 2014, my personal home became a product of my staging as my family relocated from Rhode Island to Iowa. So when I had the financial opportunity to start my own business of Green Door Home Staging I took advantage of it. I loved helping my clients with ideas on how to make their home show better. While I was a real estate agent, what I loved was the "getting ready" part. Luise: So I got started in staging because I love houses and real estate but not so much the selling part of it. If you want to avoid the telescoping-rod notch, we’ve included a few options for custom-cut rods, from a DIY method to splurge-y rods with matching hardware.How did you and your mom get into home staging and decide to start Green Door Home Staging? While most of the rods on this list are telescoping, that design does leave a visible notch in the middle of the rod, which Hersch says is “not a big deal, but it is a telltale sign” that a rod is not custom size. For outside-mounting, Megan Hersch, the owner of Studio MG Interiors and online interior-design service RoomLift, recommends measuring about 12 inches wider than a window on either side, “so you can pull the drapes off of the window when you open them.” For the height of an outside-mounted rod, she recommends hanging the rod about halfway between the window and the ceiling for a very tall ceiling, place the rod about 16 inches above the window. To find the right length for an inside-mounted rod, simply measure across the width of your window, where you plan to hang your curtain. Curtain rods can be inside-mounted, or hung within the window frame, or outside-mounted, which allows the curtain to cover the edge of the window frame.
