Stage It & Sell It: A Sweeter Guest Suite

My “Stage it and Sell It” series takes you to a guest suite in a Nashville home my stagers and I recently styled and sold for above asking price, in 24 hours! Our mission with this contemporary home was to soften and feminize the masculine look of the guest suite by removing several dark furniture pieces and bringing in light, neutral bedding, throw pillows, linen chairs, a rug, and a large, light-colored, pastel floral canvas to create a focal point above the bed. We also created a cozy seating area that faced the TV wall, to show potential buyers just how large this guest suite was and what they could do with the extra space. Before this room was styled, it looked and felt cold and uninviting. The focus was on all of the hard surfaces and dark-colored furniture. We added softness, texture, and a touch of femininity, to warm up this space and make it cozier and inviting.
