Are you up with the latest home trends? These 5 quick tips can get you that modern, luxurious look we are all dreaming of…

 

1. Go green. And, as much as we love the green Kennedy Apple, we don’t mean that! It’s all about the outdoors coming in. Pantone has declared Greenery the color of 2017. Earthy shades to look out for include Kale and Hazelnut. Pair these natural greens with organic, sustainable décor, such as burlaps and soft linens.

 

2. Mix metals. Pairings such as oiled brass and chrome or silver and polished nickel can add flare and depth to a room. It’s easy to achieve this look in you kitchen or bath, where there are various metal accents, such as cabinet handles and faucet. But the same effect can be had in other rooms using throw pillows and small décor pieces.

 

3. Create texture. Mingling unusual design pairings can create texture and personalize a space. For example, unfinished woods, linen upholstery and faux fur may not be the first thing you think of, but they can combine to make quite a decorative impact.

 

4. Artistic comfort. These days, a chair isn’t just a chair. Comfort is giving way to artistic value, so choosing the right conversation piece, whether it be a textured sofa or a one-of-a-kind bathroom vanity, can increase the luxuriousness of a space.

 

5. Minimize. Words to live by, Less is “always” more. Modern minimalism, which often includes camouflaged solutions, is all the rage. A decorative pillar or archway can double as a hidden pantry, closet or wet bar. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and design.

 

Virtual Staging to the rescue!!

KENNEDY Real Estate is proud to introduce virtual staging to the Edmonton Marketplace! Virtual staging is more common place south of the border and in other centres such as Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. And now KENNEDY Real Estate is bringing this most awesome miracle for selling vacant homes to Edmonton!

What is Virtual Staging?

Virtual staging uses 3D rendering technologies to take a photo of an empty room and then fill it with up to date designer inspired furniture and accessories. We can add couches, lamps, rugs, T.V.’s, drapes and a whole host of other items to enhance the space.

With Virtual Staging you will save hundreds (or thousands) over traditional staging methods. In addition you avoid the hassle of moving furniture in and out of the home. Virtual Staging allows interested buyers to see the potential of your home using digital imagery.

How does Virtual Staging help sell my vacant property?

It creates the lived in look for the buyer. The designer options for furniture style and arrangements. Creates interest, retains interest and it gives the buyer something to remember your property by – other than blank walls and rooms.

Who should use Virtual Staging?

PROPERTY OWNERS with little or no furniture. Or it can be used for outside patio shots – to fill a  deck/yard/patio with awesome eye catching patio furniture and outside  entertaining arrangements. Great for BUILDERS with multiple floor plans and only one showsuite! Condos, single family homes, spec homes, vacation homes, cottages etc.

 

How much does Virtual Staging cost?

Virtual Staging – up to three rooms comes FREE with our Golden Delicious Listing Package!

BONUS:

KENNEDY Real Estate also offers: Styledesigner option for all of our listings!

What is Styledesigner?

Styledesigner is an interactive model that allows buyers to actually change the way your property looks on line to meet their personal taste with the click of a mouse. Allowing the buyer to take “psychological ownership’.

This in an innovative approach to marketing online, buyers are sure to make your property their ‘dream home’.

 

Who should use Styledesigner?

Style Designer is very adaptable to just about any property that could use a few different updates: flooring, paint, paint on walls , trim and kitchen cabinets. SO – instead of deliberating on actually doing those reno’s – Styledesigner does it for you – and the buyer alike. NOW the buyer can pick their own wall, trim and kitchen cabinet colour as well as choose from many different carpet, hardwood flooring options.

 

How does Styledesigner help sell my house?

This interactive design option allows the buyer to ACTUALLY see the reno’d potential in your home right at their finger tips. It helps retain the listing value in your home. In addition it keeps the buyer engaged with your property longer – and that gives you a better chance of more showings which lead to OFFERS.
