\nDo you have the right decorating mindset to style a home? No matter where you are in the homeownership process it’s important to focus your perceptions so your home is the most appealing on the block. Every homeowner, especially those selling, m<\/span>ust become successful at creating first impressions. This step allows you to develop a good sense of what your audience (buyer or guest) wants, and what it takes to ensure that you stand out in their minds well after visiting your property.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\"What
\nThink of your open house or dinner party as if it\u2019s opening night for your favorite show. The stars would be walking the red carpet, dressed to impress, promoting the show and creating excitement and buzz\u2014that\u2019s what staging<\/a> does to your home when selling (or staying).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Decorating Mindset<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A buyer\u2019s gut reaction never goes away, so make sure to critique each area of your home or recruit a judgmental friend who can help answer these questions.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What will the cohesive style be throughout the home?<\/span><\/p>\n

Where will furniture and accessories be placed or removed? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This will take some visual thinking, which can be difficult for some homeowners who are left-brain thinkers. Most people are more left-brain driven, using organizational and logical skills to conquer a task at hand. The right-brain thinkers, however, use their creative ability and function\u2014particularly shape recognition\u2014to assess the world. That\u2019s why some homeowners can visualize the potential of a space while others have a hard time figuring out how to arrange the furniture or what accessories go together.<\/span>
\nAre you a left brain or right brain thinker? Take the quiz now!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nLeft-brain thinkers:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Deal with words or numbers.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They assess things in parts.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • They’re time bound, meaning they stick to a tight schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Right-brain thinkers:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Deal with pictures. <\/span><\/li>\n
    • They assess things as a whole and in relation to one another.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • They’re time free. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      When thinking about how you\u2019re going to transform your space, tap into your right-brain thinking to create a cohesiveness throughout the entire space. You can\u2019t just hang a picture on a wall because the wall is empty; the picture should be generic enough to appeal to either your theme or for all types of people. It has to match the color scheme and be in proportion to the rest of the items in the space. Watch this video to learn more about how you can tap into your right brain.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
