The art of staging

Deciding what the best features of your home or property are and enhancing them is also key, says Robinson. “If you have a beautiful ocean view but your walls are painted red when you walk into the house you’re not going to notice the ocean view you’re going to notice the red walls,” she says. The same goes, says Robinson, for hand-finished floors. If they’re covered with area rugs and furniture people won’t notice them in photo shoots or showings and by simply removing the rugs and rearranging the furniture you can direct more than just peoples’ eyes. “Not only can you control what they’re looking at or noticing when they first come in by taking away distractions or doing what you can to enhance the features but you can also control their traffic patterns,” she says. “So really opening up your living room and inviting them visually into the space rather than having the back of the sofa across the living room and closing off the space.” Similar tricks and tips are used when it comes to staging a good event, says Ashley Bond, founder of Vancouver’s Spread Love events. “Often times you’ll go into a space and there will be a really bad chair or painting on the wall that’s taking things away. Don’t be afraid to remove pieces that take away from what you’re trying to do,” she says. Being lucky enough to plan a lot of events outdoors, in B.C.’s Lower Mainland and Los Angeles, Bond says the biggest thing for her is take cues from the natural environment, such as a wedding her team recently planned in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. “We wanted to mix in natural elements, wood, sticks, flowers, plants, bring in the natural landscape, so it doesn’t feel like you’re trying to put a fancy couch in an area where it doesn’t make sense,” she says. The details are important when it comes to staging a wedding, she says. “Something I’ve seen time and time again is a simple detail — like how a napkin is folded and that’s on repeat throughout the entire reception, so maybe up to 200 people — and if you haven’t thought about what might look nice and it’s left to the catering team it might be a swan fold that’s chosen and that very much changes the look,” she says. Much like staging a home for a photo shoot, Bond and her team choose key pieces of furniture and props for their events, with a less is more approa... http://www.lfpress.com/2016/01/21/the-art-of-staging
