By keeping the overhead to its lowest. It is all about being creative art & money wise.

Why go with the staging?

The Real Estate market is hot or soft.  Economy is up or down.  It is always something.  Either time or money is scarce, or both.  However, life can not be put on hold.  You want to decorate your home for enjoyment  or you need to sell your home - Shoestring Design budget staging & styling is the key. No matter you decorate your place for yourself or for sale - I make it warm and lovable.

Did you know?

When a Real Estate market took a downturn, many smaller home builders opted out of staging to protect their profits. While property prices started climbing back, the prices for new homes in Edmonton even  dropped further by 0.8%. It is not a coincidence: 90% of the population can not visualize themselves in an empty or heavily decorated space. Shoestring design brings that perfect balance allowing the home buyers to see themselves living in that home.

Do you have to have a lack of interior decorating skills to hire a stager?

There is not such a thing as a substandard decor taste as long as it makes you feel good.  What matters when you sell your home is to show your house to the buyer.  Your decor gets in the way of seeing it. Your decor is about you and the functionality of the place. Selling is about the buyers and opening up the space  to them.

Remember: Feedback leads to transformation that results in progress. Be open to it! Buyers do not want to buy YOUR home, they want to buy THEIR home.

With the solutions that perfectly respect your desires, your needs and your budget, I advise you on the  type of mechanism to be used on each project and can implement it too.
