If you are currently looking at homes in the Metro Area, you may find that the Traditional Style and Old World Elegance is a thing of the past.

Do you find you need to update your home to appeal to yourself, the new streamlined you and to the future buyers of your home? Even if you think you are going to live in a home for eternity, chances are you will be considering selling your home in the next few years. That is life, no matter what you plan, things change.

Current styling does away with the heavy fabrics on windows, deep carved mantles, dark woods and large furniture. You will find that the trend is lighter woods, streamlined edges, sleek fabrics and comfortable yet human sized furnishings. Don’t think “The Jetson’s” Yet! Think homey yet uncluttered. Studies show that we think, are less stressed and function better with less clutter. Just think of the time savings on dusting!

Here is an example of the look many are moving towards. There are homes I have had the pleasure to be in the process of planning, staging and selling. My clients reached out to me well before they are on the market, often a year in advance to make sure that they choose the right colors and style for the current market.

Call me anytime, just to chat and plan your next purchase or sale, no matter how long away it may be.
