Since I announced that a new Service was coming to LM Interiors, I had A LOT of people wondering what it could be. Majority thinks it's Staging, however I had someone people say Decorating/Styling. I wanted to be able to explain this Service the best I could without any confusion as there is a lot of overlap of terms us Designers use!
What is Home Staging?
" the activity or practice of styling and furnishing a property for sale in such a way to enhance its attractiveness to potential buyers "
What is Room Styling?
" enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of a room or space without altering its core structure to reflect the homeowners style "
Home Staging
I think majority of the people thought it was going to be Home Staging because of my Certification in Real Estate Staging however at this time I don't wish to pursue my business in the Home Staging/Real Estate industry. The reason for this is simply because I don’t wish to work within the housing market and tight timelines it creates. It can be very challenging and stressful as a Team of 1.
Room Styling
ding ding ding, we have a winner!
Yes, LM Interiors is expanding to now have a Room Styling Service. This was very important to me to launch, as decorating has always been a passion of mine. I went to school for Interior Decorating and graduated in 2017, but once graduated I was working for a woodworking shop as a custom cabinetry designer. I am proficient in creating and designing cabinetry due to my experience however the point of me starting LM Interiors was to be able to be fully creative in the industry I know and love. I went from designing cabinetry for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooming, etc. to now designing and contracting full renovations (kitchens, bathrooms, etc).
For every project photoshoot I have done, I arrive 1-2 hours prior to stage. I do this so a viewer’s eye is drawn towards the design elements like cabinetry, countertop, lighting, and all the small details I put into a project. This gives a clear visual of what the audience is supposed to be looking at. With that being said, I have a warehouse of decor items for moments like this and for all the items I don't have, I shop at a local Homesense & Bouclair store and usually the St. Jacobs Antique Markets. I find myself more and more staging these spaces just for the photoshoot and after I receive the photos back, I just wish I had offered my client a chance for me to style their space like this to use every day.
I have had inquiries if I would decorate someone's space, but I truly think it's more than just decorating. This service is going to be known as Room Styling because it isn't just about the decor on the shelves and the coffee table. It's about creating a space that is unique to each person and will still flow beautifully and seamlessly with all design aspects in mind. It's about creating a furniture plan to know what best size couch suits your Rec Room. It's about creating that comforting feel for everyone in the family but also making your guests go 'WOW'. Here at LM Interiors were here to create beautiful interiors, functional aesthetics and one of a kind style so you can love your home.
By adding this service not only will LM Interiors be a one stop shop for all your design needs, but we will also be there throughout your whole project (literally from start to finish) to maintain a smooth and finished look to your home.
Room Styling Service is now available for booking. Please see our website for more information.
