While yellow might be a\u00a0color associated with happiness<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 well, except in Charlotte Perkins Gilman\u2019s short story \u201cThe Yellow Wallpaper<\/a>\u201d \u2014 the wall color simply had to go in a recent Atlanta-area home staging project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Sylvia Gholston, senior designer at\u00a0Showhomes of Cobb<\/a>, knew that getting rid of the outdated hue throughout the home would modernize and refresh the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom house. \u201cStaging cannot help inconsistent paint colors,\u201d she says. \u201cSo we had the entire house painted a balsamic white.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Luckily, the house had great bones and an appealing exterior, so Gholston\u2019s goal was to provide a look that was lived-in, yet trendy, so that potential buyers could picture themselves living in the space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Her approach is immediately clear in the living room, which featured the same dingy yellow walls, as well as exposed wires and hardware from a former\u00a0wall-mounted TV<\/a>. These elements eclipsed appealing aspects like the dual built-in bookcases, a sizable\u00a0fireplace, and vaulted ceilings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cOur primary goal was to showcase the high ceilings and the openness of this space,\u201d Gholston says. \u201cWe placed the furniture in the center to indicate that an actual set could be used and fill the space. We wanted a bit of a glam look but not over-the-top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Painting the walls a soft dove gray with bright white on the fireplace mantle and surround, trim, and bookcases immediately made a difference, and removing old wiring from the TV created a clean slate.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe bookcases were staged lightly so that the potential owner could see that you do not have to crowd bookshelves,\u201d she says, noting that she chose clean-lined silver and white items, like vases and faux plants, to match that minimalist aesthetic. \u201cMy philosophy is less is more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

To achieve the desired lived-in look with a glam twist, Gholston chose a furniture set, comprising a sofa, a love seat, and a chair, that was neutral yet plush. \u201cThis was important to show that you do not need the traditional staged look \u2014 couch and two chairs with two lamps \u2014 to highlight a space.\u201d Coordinating throw pillows with a bit of sheen invite guests to take a seat and get cozy.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

A faux fur area rug in a creamy hue grounds the seating arrangement and adds to the luxe vibe. On top, a square coffee table with silver X-shaped legs and a faux animal skin cushion displays a plush fur throw blanket and a barware set on a silver tray.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The granite on the fireplace pops against the new paint color, while a large-scale piece of abstract art in neutral hues draws the eye upward to the high ceiling. A silver vessel on the ground in front of the fireplace adds further shine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While the overall color scheme is neutral, the interplay of textures, shapes, and materials keeps things interesting. \u201cThe ultimate goal was to show that glam can be functional and does not have to be over-the-top,\u201d Gholston says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Originally, the home was on the market for a month. But after Gholston was hired and worked her magic over the course of two days, it sold within 24 hours for $5,000 over the $850,000 list price. The homeowners were thrilled \u2014 and the yellow walls are now nothing but a memory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
