Welcome to Kathryn Corey Interiors
Professional Home Staging and Redesign 

Selling your house…. 

Today’s housing market brings with it a lot more challenges and competition than has been seen in recent history.   We’ve all heard the term, “it’s a buyer’s market”.  Well, we are still in a buyer’s market.  So, sellers really need to take advantage of every strategy that places them ahead of the competition when their house is listed on the market.  One of the newer strategies in selling a house, today, is having it professionally staged.   Statistics show that a staged home typically sells in the shortest period of time for the greatest dollar.  Also, home staging has proven to be less costly to the seller than the first price reduction of the home. 

Buying a home is one of the more emotional purchases we will experience in our lives.  In fact, most purchases we make have one of many driving emotions that bring us to our buying decision.  Just as retailers merchandise their products to engage our emotions, so should a home seller stage their home to arouse that “must have” feeling in buyers. The concept of home staging is gaining popularity in the real estate industry because it transforms the uniqueness of a seller’s home into a desirable product that not only looks better but is designed to make emotional connections with a greater number of buyers.  It’s so effective, savvy realtors will only list a home once it has been staged because it is more likely to create that sense of urgency toward a buying decision.  By using effective staging techniques, a professional home stager recreates the setting of your home to achieve a “feel home” mood.  This leaves an unforgettable first impression with buyers as they visualize themselves living in your home.  Kathryn Corey Interiors is committed to working diligently and cost effectively to develop an action plan customized for your home.   Call or email us, today, to schedule a consultation. 

Living in your home… 

So, you’ve been living in your home a while and it no longer feels like the home of your dreams.  You’ve lost that loving feeling and it’s gone, gone, gone.   It sounds like you have grown apart from your home.   This can happen as your lifestyle changes over time and sometimes at a rapid pace.  You try a trendy new paint color you found in a magazine, you buy new throw pillows to update your sofa, and you add a few new paintings to your walls.   Then you step back and to your dismay you’re still not feeling the love.   What do you do now?  Redesign. 

Just as staging a home to sell captures the hearts and minds of buyers, staging a home to live will recapture the love you feel for your home.   Redesign focuses on the homeowner’s unique ideas and desires for their home so the right ambience can be created for your lifestyle. The process of redesign typically incorporates the use of existing pieces in your home and finding new places and purposes for those pieces, as well as, purchasing new items to bring it all together.  It can also incorporate more extensive design consultation for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, countertops and window treatment.  Kathryn Corey Interiors will partner with you to bring back that feeling of home or establish it for the first time.  Call or email us, today, to schedule a consultation.
