Paint Color Toolkit Takes Away Guesswork by: RESA RVP, Kristie Barnett

Award-winning Decorologist makes important staging decision easy!  After a dozen years of staging homes to sell for top dollar, Kristie Barnett, The Decorologist, has become an expert at choosing the perfect paint colors for every room, every time.

Barnett has created the Psychological Staging™ Paint Color Toolkit for evethedecolorgist1ry real estate professional or home stager who has ever been overwhelmed when choosing between thousands of paint colors to update and sell clients’ homes.

Realtors and home stagers love the confidence the toolkit gives them.

“The kit has truly been a lifesaver during consults where I have no idea what I’m walking into and when I get stuck trying to find that perfect color for the client,” says home stager, Morgan Thompson, owner of Graced Interiors.

Sunny Tracey, Realtor with Spyglass Realty and Investments in Austin, Texas, uses the toolkit every time she discusses color with a client. “It legitimizes your opinion,” Tracey says of the kit. “With this kit, it’s tangible. I can show them why this is the best choice with actual paint on the sample boards.”

Simple and direct instructions accompany 15 sample boards painted with on-trend, universally appealing neutrals, basics and colors. The kit will take the guesswork and stress out of these decisions that could make the difference to potential buyers. While they may not remember every detail about a home they tour, they will remember how a home feels.

“The right paint colors and placement can make nearly every space appear larger, enhance architectural features, and create an updated and high-end feel to any property,” Barnett says. “Many Realtors have told me that the right colors sold the house.”

Knowing that buyers want to feel something when they walk into a home, Barnett has drawn on her psychology background and honed her home staging skills to where she is now sought after for staging, speaking, and coaching. Barnett’s book, Psychological Staging: Home Staging Secrets of The Decorologist, has been a popular seller on Amazon since its release in March.

Barnett has earned international awards in home staging for three years running and taken first prize in a national Benjamin Moore color trends contest. She writes the popular design blog, www.thedecorologist.com, and is currently the color expert creating new exterior color palettes for LP SmartSide, a major exterior building product company.

Here’s how the Paint Color Toolkit works: each kit contains 7 neutrals, 4 colors, and 4 basics on SmallWall® sample boards. Each board has simple instructions on the back explaining where to use it and, importantly, where to avoid using it. Barnett gives tips to create the most on-trend and high-end look with the proper placement of each color in the kit, which also includes a link to a 10-minute instructional video.

“The Psychological Staging Paint Color Toolkit is the most powerful tool you can own when staging a home to sell,” Barnett says.

The toolkit is available in limited numbers for $139 each at http://thedecorologist.com/product/psychological-staging-paint-color-toolkit/
