I'm a big fan of staging.  Designated an Accredited Staging Professional or ASP.
That makes Barb Schwarz, my staging guru I guess!

So, when I found an article where Barb outlined the top staging trends of 2012, I was immediately interested.

Listen up, Sellers!
You should be looking to use:

Mother Earth - Inspired Elements
Colors that are found in the earth, soil, oceans, forests.
Textures that remind us of sand, eggshells, seashells.
Pair natural tones with accent colors such as Tangerine Tango.
Incorporate natural elements with accessories such as woven baskets, leather stools, cotton towels.

Fabulous Faux
Use the animal print for rugs and votives, but use sparingly!

Digital... Fabrics
Framing digital fabrics is an easy and inexpensive way to create modern artwork.
Fern and tree branch patterns are particularly trendy.

Doilies and Lace
Use lace in subtle ways - on top of tableclothes or paired with bold colors.
Also popular are traditional quilts and handmade crochet pieces.

Faded Area Rugs
Vintage is in!  Use old Asian rugs as a foundation for the rooms color palette.  Complement vintage pieces with modern art and table accessories.

Opposites Attract
Silk with suede.
Furniture with studs.
Shiny and vintage together.

Touch the Sky
Envision clouds and water when choosing reflective, blue, white and silver objects for a room.
Mirrors make rooms look bigger, but consider using them as things like trays for cups, or to reflect light into darker areas of the room.
