Staging Tips
January 2012
Tip #1- Design Style Selection
This is the time of year when homes are getting prepped for the spring real estate season. With quite a few staging jobs under our belts, we have some helpful pointers to get you started staging your home for style or sale.
#1. Choose a consistent design style throughout the residence. it is important to create a unified design feel to make the house feel cohesive.
In this library room, we used linen furnishings and kept to a transitional theme in the house. Transitional refers to a style that is in between contemporary and modern. We featured the khaki Claremont chair which is also available in umber for $245 each.
Tip #2 - Pieces of Interest
#2. We love to use vintage pieces in staging to make the interior unique and memorable. Here we used a vintage Barcelona Day Bed by Mies van der Rohe to accentuate the modern design of this residence.
Tip #3- Bright and decluttered for small spaces
#3. It is crucial that small spaces are bright, airy and that all clutter is removed from the rooms. In this area, we used a glass coffee table and white upholstered pieces for levity. In staging, sometimes less is more. To delutter this room we kept furnishing and accessories to a minimum so the room would appear larger.
This vintage asian wedding cabinet multi tasks as a beautiful accent piece and extra storage for personal belongings while your house is on the market.
The Charlotte chair in linen works great for dining or as a desk chair available for $185 each.

A Whimsical Table
December 2011
As the festive season approaches, it is always a busy time for us at Harringtons, especially in the dining area gallery. As ususal, we love to mix and match. In this set we have assembled modern chairs and console, a vintage Asian rosewood hutch and rug and and a fantastic vintage American table. We call the table the Gucci table in honor of the G shape at the base.
Modern Chairs and Console
These new white leather dining chairs forge the table into the 21st century. We love the brass reindeer as it renders a glimpse of the season to come.
Featured Products
These candlesticks inspired setting and bring a hint of Alice and Wonderland meets Lladro to the table. A hare, a princess and so many childhood memory figurines rolled into one candlestick. They are perfect accent to any eclectic table setting.
This vintage rosewood china cabinet is from Hong Kong. We love the glass on the sides and its large storage capacity. It dismantles into two pieces which makes it easier to move into city apartments and houses.

Interior Staging, Junior League Home Tour 2011
November 2011
The Junior League of San Francisco, celebrated their 100 years of commitment to the community during their annual Home Tour fundraiser over the weekend of October 22nd. We anticipated in this event in 2009 with a partial stage in Pacific Heights and in 2011 we staged an entire home in Sea Cliff with view of China Beach and beyond! We are so grateful for the assistance from The Bud Stop for their fantastic floral arrangements and to LDL Design for recreating the exterior courtyard.
Our new Linato sofa line is showcased in this room with vintage console table, chairs and props.
Assemblage of Antique and New
In the dining room we continued our assemblage of old and new pieces together. We used an amazing antique oak dining table and used new linen dining side chairs and two Hickory arm chairs. The studded linen Charlotte chairs retail for $185 a pieces and are available in a few fabric and leg color choices.

The Valencia Sofa for Small Space Living
October 2011
Small Space Living
We designed this look to accommodate city apartment living. The 72" sofa with curved arms is a dream to get into small spaces. The Wassily style armchairs can be used for dining or entertaining guests. An open bookshelf adds dimension to a small space and does not crowd the room.
The Valencia Sofa
This sofa was designed especially for Harrington Galleries and is manufactured in Los Angeles. We love the scale because the higher back adds space to the 72" shorter length of the sofa. The name of this fabric color is Lavish Caviar!
The sofa's dimensions can be customized to fit all living spaces and available in over 75 different fabric choices.
