Creative Home Staging ideas using accessories available at Pier 1 Imports

Spring has sprung and while the weather is a bit schizophrenic at times, I’m excited for the transition. I recently got the Pier1 Imports catalog and found some really cool new items they have for spring that would make great Home Staging Props. Here are my 3 favorites and how you can incorporate them into your stage design.

Can you see how these bold and colorful tropical plates and bowls would really make your tablescape stand out? I love creating tablescapes based on really unique and exciting themes. What could be more fun than these juicy spring/summer colors?

TIP: Use unconventional placemats like large tropical leaves and add some faux fruit (pineapples would be great with this theme). This would be great fun to use to set up a backyard or can create a party atmosphere if there was a pool. Imagine how attractive this would be to buyers visiting your open house on a warm sunny day. Even if the weather isn’t optimal, they can’t help but imagine crashing waves and swaying palm trees. Add some background music and you have set the stage!

What about the Palm Leaf Chip & Dip Set and the Flower & Leaf Serving Set? TIP: You can fill the bowls and plates with dried fruit like pineapple, apricots, and bananas. Just a word of warning, don’t expect to find a lot of food after a display; people also seem to enjoy eating accessories. (I had someone take a bite out of a fake bread!) Shop the grocery stores for displayable boxed food items and don’t forget those themed cookbooks! These would also be great accessories for hosting a theme-based open house. Did you just get that tip?

I LOVE tropical soaps. They would be really fun accessories for a bathroom – creating a tropical theme without being too kitsch. Find some citrus colored towels, tie them with raffia, add silk tropical flowers, or even some flip flops – check out the one I made out of a $2 pair of slippers from Wal-Mart!

Go to http://alicetchan.com/creative-home-staging-ideas-using-props-available-at-pier-1-imports/ to see the photos. There are plenty of really cheap ideas everywhere you go. Think outside the box and be creative – that’s what makes staging so much fun. If you can engage your buyers and make your home more memorable, you will have tapped into what home staging is all about. Good luck and have a good time!!!
