Fall 2010 Color Trends; Triple Threat; to Feng Shui or Not?

Fall is a beautiful time of year, with the leaves changing color, cool breezes and scurrying squirrels burying nuts for the season. I’m looking forward to crisp air, some apple cider and possibly some pumpkin carving, too!
The signature colors of this year’s fall season are gold, brown, burgundy, cream and green, all colors that reflect the current trend of bringing nature indoors. It seems as though people want to simplify their lives these days, and this can be seen in the color palette being used, especially in bedroom where calm colors are so effective. These color trends can and should also be applied when Staging a house for sale, not only through paint, but also with area rugs, pillows, linens, and accessories.
To Feng Shui or Not?
Incorporating some Feng Shui principals into Home Staging is an effective way to create interesting spaces by using color, shape, and texture along with proper furniture placement. Light, clean, calming, balanced, and spacious are the words that come to mind. It doesn’t really matter if you personally believe in Feng Shui or not, what matters is that your listing gets positive feedback and an offer. By combining Feng Shui practices with proven Staging techniques, a house can be totally transformed and made to stand out in the crowded marketplace.
