Accessories

I spent the day staging a home that is going up for sale. I have some favorite pieces that I use for staging and thought I'd share them with you. They're great pieces of decor that work in almost any home with any style and color scheme.

Lantern

I love using lanterns! They look beautiful on an end table, or a collection as a dining table centerpiece. They're also great to stick in that little nook. Better yet, add some of the great battery operated candles to create ambiance in the home. I particularly love these lanterns from Pottery Barn. 

 

Ottoman

Having an ottoman is a great piece of furniture. I have this Issac ottoman in Black from Pier 1 Imports. I've used it in almost every room; add a tray and you have a coffee table, use as extra seating and I've even used it as an end table when staging a bedroom. 

Coffee Mug

Yes...go ahead and laugh...I have a favorite coffee mug. I like to place coffee mugs in a kitchen to give it a comfortable feel so the potential buyer can imagine themselves coming downstairs to grab their morning cup of joe. These mugs from Crate and Barrel are perfect. A clean white color paired with a simple clean shape provide for the perfect home staging mug.

 

Storage Baskets

I don't know of a single house that can't benefit from some great storage baskets. I like to use these great baskets from Target to show how the homeowner could keep organized. I use them in every room from the office to the bathroom.

Candle

 I find my favorite white or cream pillar candles at Pier 1 Imports. They always have tons of the unscented candles in stock in every shape and size you could imagine. They also offer the battery operated candles and they even have great scented ones too. I addition to the Pier 1 candles, I also love to add Illume brand candles to homes. They are my favorite and have amazing scents. Their Pineapple Cilantro will give the room an amazing scent without even lighting it! They can be sometimes difficult to find so check out their website here. 

I hope you enjoyed viewing my list of MUST HAVES for home staging. Have a great day!
