Just released, these 2011 neutrals (complete with inspiring accents colours) are a hit with our Interior Designers at Accentuate Home Staging Design Group.  

These colours introduce a fresh new look at neutrals that we can all draw inspiration from as we prepare homes for SELLING and for LIVING.   Paired with touches of dynamic accent colours like Charlottes Lock No.268, Off Black No.57 or Babouche No.223 these colours are sure to add a contemporary spin to any interior…or exterior for that matter.  

	Oxford Stone No.264 Named after the stone often used in Oxfordshire village houses, this colour is perfect for creating a warm interior.
	Manor House Gray No.265 Inspired by the quintessentially English manor house, this definite grey has its roots in the 18th century but can be used to striking effect in modern schemes.
	Mizzle No.266 A soft blue grey reminiscent of a West Country evening mist. The blue will become more intense when painted in a smaller room.
	Dove Tale No.267 Named after the well known carpentry joint but with a twist in the tale! Some see this colour as a grey while to others it appears to be warmer and more stony.
	Charlotte’s Locks No.268 Highly dramatic and extremely contemporary especially when combined with Railings. Widely used as an accent colour in the minimalist decoration of the 1950s.
	Cabbage White No.269 A delightful clean colour that takes its name from the distinctive wings of the Cabbage White butterfly.
	Calluna No.270 Named after the Scottish heather, Calluna has a contemporary look but with the delicate inclusion of black, it retains a vintage feel.
	Brassica No.271 An aged, darker version of Calluna, named after the familiar purple colour often seen in the Brassica family of vegetables. This colour comes alive when combined with Calluna and Pelt.
	Plummett No.272 Named after the lead weight used to sink a fishing line, this mid-tone grey is appropriate for interior as well as exterior use as often seen in Gothic architecture.

One of the most common issues we all face when marketing properties for sale are difficult room sizes and shapes. Size really does matter!

We all know that every potential buyer is ‘sizing’ up each listing and imagining if they can realistically live there. Small, cramped and narrow spaces can be the same turn off as too much space. Sales have been lost because a potential buyer can’t fathom how their own furniture could squeeze into that small space.  On the flip side, overly large spaces can scare off the buyer who imagines that they’ll have to purchase a truck load of furniture to fill the house.

Effective home staging can transform the most difficult room shapes and sizes into truly ‘liveable’ spaces that sell.  Spend less time helping buyers ‘imagine’ that they can live in the property and more time SHOWING them! A picture, in person or on MLS, speaks a thousand words.  By  increasing  the demand for the property you’ll increase your potential to sell it fast and for top dollar.

Don’t leave a property’s difficult areas to the buyer’s imagination… SHOW them the potential !
