When choosing an accent color for staging, I tend to be drawn to blues. Blue pairs well with a neutral palette, is on trend and isn’t too much of a distraction. It evokes feelings of calmness and serenity and it is one of the most popular colors which means it will appeal to the broadest range of potential buyers. - Amanda Shields, www.mintconditionstaging.com You don’t have to choose a color to make a room pop. You can use different elements and textures to create the perfect balance in a neutral space. In this open concept space, I added drama and texture with a darker shade of gray on the dining chairs to tie in with the iron screen beside the stairs. The wood tones give the space a feeling of warmth while accents in gold and silver add that final pop of color in place of an accent color! - Liliana McInerney, www.upstagebylili.com 54 CANADIANHOMETRENDS.COM
