Staging Diva Provides Detailed Look at Color Consultations

(UNITED STATES) July 17, 2012 – Color consultations can be a great source of income for home stagers says home staging expert Debra Gould, also known as The Staging Diva. On the Home Staging Business Report blog, Gould shared a behind the scenes look at two color consultations she recently did for Toronto-area homeowners.

“When I’m choosing colors for home staging, I don’t really care too much about what the client likes or will feel comfortable living with, because in a staging situation it’s all about decorating for home buyers. However, if I’m doing color consultations for clients as part of interior redesign discussions, I’ll often bring my color books to help them figure out what look and mood they’re drawn to before I recommend paint colors for their home.”

The first of Gould’s color consultations was at a luxury home in Forest Hill that had been totally gutted top to bottom. She found it quite challenging because the place was still a construction site, with none of the furniture or final lighting installed.

“In this case, I had to stay fairly neutral because I had no idea what precise colors the furniture and art actually were. And in some cases, I didn’t even have floor color as a reference because the hardwood hadn’t been installed yet! For this home, I relied exclusively on the colors I recommend in the Staging Diva Ultimate Color Guide since I know they work in a wide variety of homes and with different lighting and furniture styles.”

Gould was able to choose a color palette for this five-bedroom, three-story home in just two hours. One of the ways she made it easier for herself was by opening one of her color fan decks and having the client indicate the color of the furniture for each room.

“Naturally, the client’s visual memory of the actual colors may not be accurate, but I needed something to go by. When evaluating wall color options, I’d put them up against the red of the sofa, or the blue of the dining room chairs, for example.”

Gould’s second color consultation was in a home in the Beaches area that was built in 1919. The home featured dark wood trim and leaded glass windows.

“The couple was very nice and the husband really warmed up to the whole process about 30 minutes into my visit. When I arrived, he had his arms crossed over his chest, but once we hit the kitchen and he got to show off his new restaurant-style 6-burner gas stove and tell me about the chef certificate courses he’s taking for fun, he became much more open. It turns out he’s a very talented (amateur) photographer and we had fun hanging many of his works in various rooms of the home.”

His wife served tea, and Gould helped them finalize which glass tile to use for their newly renovated kitchen, selected drapery for the living and dining rooms, and chose paint colors for the entire house.

“In this client’s case, we could have more courage with color because I could see what they liked and all the furniture and lighting were in place. We came up with a fabulous color palette that really pulled the rooms together and worked with the dark wood trim. It was a lovely afternoon for all of us (I know because she hugged me at the end and said all her questions were answered) and I left with a check equal to what many people make in an entire week after only 2.5 hours of work. I don’t say this to brag, but to emphasize that it’s possible to be REALLY well paid for your creative talent when you understand the business of home staging, interior redesign and color consulting!”

For additional tips on selecting paint colors for color consultations and home staging, Gould invites home stagers to visit the Home Staging Business Report on the Staging Diva website.
