Adding Personality to Our Staging Projects: The Benefits of Incorporating Local Art
Adding Personality to Our Staging Projects: The Benefits of Incorporating Local Art
Staging can help a home sell more quickly and for a higher price by highlighting a property's best features (and minimizing any flaws). But ultimately, the goal of staging is to create an emotional connection between a buyer and a property, helping them see it as a place they could call home.
One of the ways we do this at NurtureSource is by featuring local artists in our staging designs. Not only does using local art support the community, but it can add that unique touch to your staging that helps buyers make an authentic personal connection with the space.
Here are some of the local artists we love to feature in the Bay area:
1. Louise Valeur
Abstract, nature-inspired art that harmonizes the home with the beauty of the environment.
2. Janet Yelner
Contemporary art that tells a unique story through color, shape, and form adds interest to interiors.
3. William Ulrich
Fine art that brings beauty, connection, and a sense of inspired awe to any space.
4. Jeff Cohen
The earth tones in Jeff’s work make them versatile pieces that suit a variety of different spaces. They work especially well in bedrooms and with a modern organic design style.
5. Kyle Cohen
Modern art that brings dimension, movement, and a striking visual experience for visitors.
For those of you who don’t live in the Bay Area, here are some of our favorite art pieces, frames and console tables so you can use the power of art in your staging.
Art:
Using charcoal to define not only the contours but also the areas of negative space between the forms, artist Kari Taylor gives expressive shape to seaside rock formations.
Freenote
Combining graffiti techniques with the style of abstract expressionism, "Freenote" is a wild composition filled with abstract iconography.
Inspired by the artist's travels to Italy, "Ischia" uses layers of paint that bleed across a custom-designed linen canvas to create an abstract landscape that's both feminine and moody.
An earthy, abstract piece inspired by music, nature, travel and family by Texas-based artists/photographers.
"La Isla" is Kristen Giorgi's "aerial reinvention" of her previous "Dreamscapes" series, where she captures the ethereality of dreamed travels.
This abstract piece livens up an empty wall with its eye-catching design featuring geometric shapes and mix of colors, inspired by nature, music and travel.
Frames:
The slender, deeply inset profile of these frames is formed by hand but looks entirely modern.
Exhibit your favorite photos gallery-style. Creating a display of modern proportions, oversized white mat floats one 18x24 within matte black aluminum frame. Curate an entire wall or freestand on a desk or table.
Console Tables:
Inspired by the Japanese art of shou sugi ban this console table is heavily sand blasted for a charred-like surface feel. A shapely cutout base completes its striking look.
This table’s narrow shape fits well in tight spaces. It features clean lines and simple proportions. Gold hardware pops against the black finish. It has spacious drawers and a wide shelf.
The texture and shape of this table is inspired by the Amalfi coast and gives off a tranquil feel. It is sustainably sourced & Fair Trade Certified™ with unmatched durability.
