What's Old is Trendy Again in the World of Home Decor
Everything seem sot have its time in the limelight, including decor and design trends. Shaggy orange rugs may have been hot in the 60s, but their appeal fizzled out after a few years. The same can be said about the tacky velvet wallpaper that Grandma had in her home that was prevalent in the early 70s. This trend may have been the cat's pyjamas back then, but no modern home owner dared have this wallpaper in their homes since.

Who doesn't want to get the most money for their home, and get it off the market sooner rather than later so they can get on with the next phase of their lives? That's what home staging can do for you.
