Actress Meg Ryan recently sold her beautiful home in San Francisco and Architectural Digest provided us with a beautiful home tour before it was sold. The home has a simple, elegant appeal to it with a contemporary vibe that I’m sure helped it find a buyer so swiftly. It’s a great example of staging your home to sell in a competitive market. Even high end homes can benefit from a neutral palette and basic staging techniques. From the enticing curb appeal to the clever use of space inside (and in the outdoor living areas), this home got it all right. Take a look to get some great ideas and tips on well-staged home.
Details on the glass add interest to the front door and character to the overall curb appeal of the home.
A couple of vases are the only accessories this beautiful fireplace needs. Its architecture remains the star of the show.
A soothing palette of neutrals and accents of blue keep the living room open and elegant.
A pop of red in the stools give a nice visual punch to the console table.
Abstract patterns of blue and yellow join the sitting area and dining room together.
A streamlined glass table keeps the dining room feeling open and airy, drawing your eye to the stunning view.
A couple of gray bar stools and a simple piece of art on the walls keep with the contemporary flow of this kitchen.
A bold pop of turquoise in the art over the staircase brings the space to life, with some colorful vases drawing your eye to the great shelf adjacent to it.
The area rug under the bed brings warmth to this large, open master suite and helps define the area around the bed. A bench adds some nice seating below the window.
The console table beneath the window in this guest suite is narrow enough not to take up too much floor space, but still provides a space for guests to work at if need be. The ottoman is a nice choice to be able to slide under the desk out of the way.
A few accessories here and there – the towel warmer, rolled towels, a sea shell, and a couple pieces of wall art – makes this space feel inviting without taking away from the stunning marble throughout the space.
In a kids room, floor space is valuable for playtime. There is plenty of it in this large, open space that is elegant while still carrying some whimsical traits.
For this small balcony space, they cleverly chose a narrow sofa and loveseat set to keep the space from feeling cramped.
Two conversation areas make the most of this great outdoor space, with extra potted plants adding to the lush landscape.
This home is clean, elegant, and inviting to anyone who steps inside, making it a prime example of how character and neutral decor can make a home appeal more to buyers.
Warm regards,
Megan
