Interior design – Home staging – Real estate investment

Aug26

Interior desing = planning, makeover and furnishing the property for customizing it to the requirements and style of the owner(s). The owner sets the budget.
Home staging = furnishing/refurnishing the property (which is frequently inhabited) for fitting it to the taste and requirements of the more customers-to-be. The staging contains smaller makeovers but the spent amount on it should be maximum the 5% of the property’s value.
Real estate development/investment = buying a property in bad condition, then reselling it after a full makeover. It should be done in a way that the property fits the taste and requirements of the more customers-to-be. The spent amount and the profit after selling have to be conciliated.

Chartreuse color is in the middle between green and yellow on the color wheel. Although it is a vivid hue, it’s not very showish because of it’s mid-dark tone. It is perfect for focal points but looks good on big surfaces also. In the latter case, it might be outweighed by neutral colors. It was named after the French liqueur made by Carthusian monks since 1764, which is made from 130 plants and herbs, that gives its natural yellowish-green color.

Cream

May27

Cream color is produced by mixing white and some yellow. In interior design, it is frequently used instead of pure white, when it would convey too vivid or steril impression. A vintage effect can be reached by using it, which fits perfectly for antique objects. It was named after the milk of cattles grazing on fields rich in yellow flowers.
