Welcome to Maggie Meadow

Home staging focuses on preparing a home for sale by creating an appealing, neutral look that helps buyers envision themselves living there. Home decorating is about personal expression and creating a space that reflects your individual style and needs.

We recommend refreshing your decor every 2-3 years, or when your lifestyle changes. Small updates like new throw pillows or artwork can make a big difference without a complete overhaul.

The best time depends on your project. Indoor projects can be done year-round, but exterior work is ideal in spring or fall when weather is moderate. Avoid peak seasons (summer) when contractors are busiest and prices are higher.

Consider the return on investment, how long you plan to stay in the home, and the impact on your daily life. Kitchen and bathroom renovations typically offer the best ROI, while cosmetic updates can increase enjoyment and property value.

Stop work immediately and reassess priorities with your contractor. Consider phasing the project or finding cost-saving alternatives. Always have a contingency budget (10-20% of total cost) for unexpected expenses. For personalized advice, call 877-432-1720 for a free consultation or contact us to discuss your project.

Consider your lifestyle, the room's function, and natural light. Test paint samples on walls, and consider how colors work together. Neutral palettes are timeless, while bold colors can make a statement. Always consider resale value if you plan to sell.
