| WHAT IS INTERIOR ReDESIGN?

 

Interior ReDesign uses what you already own so you are sure to like the look, in fact, you will be amazed at the results!

My interest in home interiors goes deeper than simple esthetics. The inner spaces of our homes can effect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We want to feel at ease, creative and uplifted in our rooms but we may be feeling dis-ease, uninspired and oppressed in our spaces. At Jan Laurie Interior ReDesign & Home Staging we understand the elements and principles of design so we will make the very most of each room that you live in. The qualities that we need for positive living can be influenced and directed in the layout of a room. The placement of the light, furniture, art & accessories all help the room to serve its function as dining room, living room, family room, etc. and are what facilitate successful rooms for the whole person/people who live there.

| WHAT IS HOME STAGING?

 

Home Staging is preparing and presenting your house for sale in order to make the strongest first impression to the greatest number of potential buyers. Stagers enhance curb appeal; work with the flow of a home; edit belongings; arrange furniture, lighting and art.

Home Stagers can think like the buyer, not the owner. Buyers are looking for a home that they can picture living in. They want to be able to simply move in and add their own personal touches to make the house feel like their own. When they walk through your home they will stay and look longer if they experience an emotional connection which staging helps provide.

The best time to stage your home is before you invite a Realtor to come and represent you. A well-staged home can affect the setting of the house price and shows the home better in photos and walk throughs. The objective is to have your home well priced and looking better than the competition. Realtors recognize staged homes as the premium listings to be viewed. This results in more showings and more offers.

Staging is fast becoming an essential and lucrative step in selling real estate as it increases the desirability of a property and significantly increases the potential price a house sells for. This makes both the seller and the Realtor happy.

It is very hard to have perspective about your own home. This is why many people today hire a professional Home Stager. We bring fresh eyes, training and experience.

We also understand that preparing to sell your home can be stressful so let us help you along the way to SOLD.

Call me for a consultation to see how Home Staging can help you.

This is the simplest and best investment you can make to secure the equity you have in your home.

 

| WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

 

“Jan Laurie is a gifted designer with an eye for possibility. She approaches her craft of redecorating with a combination of respect for her clients and enthusiasm for what needs to be accomplished. As a client, I was appreciative of the way that Jan listened carefully to my concerns. She discovered wonderful solutions to decorating dilemmas in our home that I considered insolvable. Best of all, she did this without suggesting that I go out and buy brand new furniture! Our whole family has reaped the benefit of the new look and feel of our living space. I highly recommend Jan to anyone who longs for a decorating makeover. You will find yourself feeling more at home than ever before!”
K. Wehlander, Nanaimo

“Just want to say a huge thank you for the interior makeover you did on my condo. The changes you made are staggering and incredible and I love my ‘new’ home. The changes that you made when you moved my things around add much more light, comfort and excitement to my home. Also your very knowledgeable ideas about furniture was invaluable. I am telling all my friends about your great business, thanks!
L. Pearson, Nanaimo

“An interior rescue - Burnt out after painting the entire interior of my home and adding color for the first time in search of a ‘new look’ --- and ‘re-doing’ every room over the course of a year, I just gave up! I just couldn’t face finishing the makeover with any enthusiasm. It was TOO much! Jan came in, talked to me about it for an hour or so, and then efficiently went about achieving in a day, what I had been unable to accomplish in a year. A fresh look, the pathways of my home opened -- but most amazing -- the ‘feeling’ of tranquility that I thought was gone forever has been restored.
I highly recommend what Jan does. I love what she did here -- and I didn’t have to do it myself!!”
I. Makepeace, Nanaimo

“Many thanks for putting your professional and creative expertise together with our ideas and treasures to make our home more interesting and enjoyable. We are very happy with the results.”
C & B Steane - Nanoose Bay

“After having to downgrade my home, I felt uncomfortable about my living space. I had trouble arranging my furniture and items and couldn’t seem to get around an uneasy air. Thanks to your expertise, Jan, the redesign surpassed my expectations. Your eye for colour groupings and shapes turned an awkward environment into a comfortable and inviting space with an artistic flair.”
