Thinking of a Home Stager for your home?

Home staging is a powerful tool which has been proven to make homes stand out above the crowd and sell faster and for higher price – regardless of the market. In a slow market, staging is invaluable when it comes to getting homes sold. In a hot market, staging makes sellers unbelievably happy as it often results in multiple offers for significantly over the asking price.

However there some arguments and common mis-conceptions about Home Staging…

Staging is expensive
While the costs can range from a few hundred dollars for a professional consultation, to several thousand dollars for some painting and furniture to improve the space. Making a small investment in your home will ensure that buyers will be inspired by your property and will do everything they can to buy it.

Unless your friends and family are buying your home, you still need to ensure your home appeals to all the buyers walking through the door. Personalized decor schemes with wallpaper, border, specialized paint finishes are tough sells for buyers. Buyers are looking for homes with neutral decor styles they can live with for a few years before they have to think of doing any kind of re-decorating.

Built-in Kitchen Cabinets

Ensure your kitchen is sleek with flush kitchen cabinet panelling

One of the most important reasons people choose built-in refrigerators, is the counter depth look, as this only extends out as far as the cabinets and is flush with the rest of the kitchen cabinets. This way, the refrigerator does not block your space at all, which is good whether you have a small kitchen or just want to use every inch of space you have. This type of refrigerator is usually wider and a bit taller than the standard one in order to make up for the lack of depth. Therefore, you do not lack any volume so that you still have plenty of room. Also, you have a few choices when it comes to a counter depth fridge, as it can be side-by-side, French door bottom freezer, or plain bottom freezer. The choice depends on your inclination.

Another kind of built-in refrigerator on the market is the all-refrigerator kind, which means that the entire appliance is taken up by a refrigerated area. There is no freezer, but you can get an appliance with only frozen area put in next to your all-fridge appliance. This allows you to have tons of space in each appliance, and is especially good for those who love to cook. If you want your kitchen to be gourmet, you should consider this choice when seeking built-in refrigerators.

You can also request a custom built-in fridge, where the appliance blends into the rest of the kitchen since it matches the cabinets. While a counter depth refrigerator blends in by only coming out as far as the counter tops, a customized built-in refrigerator does the same but also features panels put over it so it looks like the cabinets. The point is for guests to initially be unable to tell the difference between the fridge and the cabinets, making for a really sleek look. This is considered well-lied, but is usually among the most expensive options for a kitchen.

If you desire to set your home apart from the rest, you may be checking out built-in refrigerators. This option is often costlier than a standard refrigerator, but you get a better, more modern look. If you are ready for a new look for your kitchen, consider the kinds of built-in refrigerators on the market.
