Staging with Baskets and Books
Staging Tip! Baskets and books are must haves when staging! I use them everywhere!
Staging your home using baskets and books can add a touch of style and organization, creating an inviting atmosphere for potential buyers. Here are some tips on how to effectively use baskets and books in the staging process:
1. Declutter and Organize:
Remove excess items from shelves, countertops, and other visible areas.
Arrange books neatly on shelves, leaving some empty space for a clean and organized look.
2. Baskets for Storage:
Use baskets to store and conceal items like magazines, toys, or other small belongings.
Place baskets in strategic locations, such as under coffee tables, on shelves, or in built-in storage units, to create a sense of order.
3. Coordinate Colors and Styles:
Choose baskets and books that complement the color scheme and style of the room.
Consider neutral tones for a cohesive and timeless look, or match the colors to the overall theme of the space.
4. Create Vignettes:
Arrange books and decorative items in small groupings or vignettes on tables, shelves, or countertops.
Use baskets as part of these groupings to add texture and interest.
5. Use Books as Decorative Elements:
Stack books horizontally and vertically to add visual interest.
Consider arranging books by color for a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing display.
6. Functional Design:
Opt for baskets that serve a dual purpose, providing both storage and visual appeal.
Incorporate decorative bookends to keep books neatly organized on shelves.
Speaking of books - are you looking for some new books to read? Some of my go-to books are from my friend, Kristina Henson, who is the author and illustrator of “One Hundred Birds Telling One Hundred Little Stories” and “Letters to Lily”. These books bring me so much joy! I can’t wait for her next book!
