Delicious Decors: Ventura County’s Professional Home Staging, Interior Design, and Photography

by: Mana Tulberg Category: County-Wide Businesses

When it comes to selling your home, the first impression has the most significant impact on the price and type of offers you will receive for your home.  As a Realtor® I can attest to many situations in which a home sold higher than the asking price after the home was staged.  As a matter of fact, according to Penny Bergstom, owner of Delicious Decors, 78% of staged homes sell faster and 16% of staged homes sell above the homeowner’s asking price.

Delicious Decors is a locally owned and operated interior design and photography company.  Penny and her husband Fredrik Bergstrom have combined their photography and interior decorating talents to help homeowners with all tastes and styles facilitate selling or just simply redecorating their home.  Contemporary, traditional, cottage, or Mediterranean styles are just a few of Penny’s expertise in the interior decorating field.

Along with professional photography and home staging for home sellers, Delicious Decors offers redesign, interior decorating, and vacation rental preparation services.  Delicious Decors realm of services extends as far north as San Luis Obispo and all the way to the Malibu area.

After meeting with you and listening to your needs, Penny and her team of professional interior decorators will use your own furniture and may add a few items from Delicious Decors’ collection to enhance the feel and look of your home.  In the case of Vacant properties, if you work with Delicious Decors there is no need to rent furniture or decorative items to stage your property.  For all of their staging projects, Delicious Decors uses their own up-to-date furniture, which are stored in their local warehouse.

And of course, if you are looking to redesign your home Penny is able to assist you with her vast knowledge in interior decorating.

"Staging for the Sexes" by Delicious Decors, Santa Barbara California

Yes, you've got it, I’m talking about staging for the sexes in this blog. We all know about “Men and Mars” and “Women and Venus.” And, yes, what a man is looking at when buying a new home is from the eyes of Mars and a woman is looking through the eyes of Venus, at the same house.

I’ll start with Man. The top two things that Man is considering when buying a new house is:

1. Price  
2. Square footage (yes, size matters)Then Man moves on to:

3. Where will I put my TV? And you ask, where does a home stager fit in? Square footage, well it is what it is. Price, that’s the realtor’s job, but do let’s remember, “Price brings interest, staging sells.” That’s where Delicious Decors comes in.

We’ve got a Man magnet in our inventory! This very cool roulette table, works like a charm. Now you’ve got Man involved emotionally (his Venus side kicking in).
He pictures himself and his buddies on Game Night. He’s the dealer, of course.

After all this is his house.

Now, I think we’ve about covered Man, let’s move on to Woman.

Most of you probably know this one. When Woman is going to open houses looking for that special home, the #1 thing that captures her interest most is:

1. How does the house Feel. 

Yes, Woman is Venus and a house, which will become her home, needs to have a certain feeling.

I Love this part of my business, staging a home for Woman! I’m a Woman and it’s a natural for me. Now that we have taken care of Man, Delicious Decors moves on to Woman.

A feminine touch to the master bedroom and bath is always a good idea. We add touches of romance in our bedding, décor and accessories. The master bedroom should feel like a sanctuary, a place to get away from your day’s responsibilities and relax.

For Woman the feeling in the family gathering place is also very important. You know us Women are the Gatherers,  “When I’m preparing dinner, I like to keep an eye on little
Johnny playing and watch Lisa tagging along with her blanket in tow.” Here's little Johnny.

We do a nice, but simple job in the kitchen (less is more here, as you want to show off all the prep room the counters have to offer).

And then we turn the adjoining family room into a cozy, yet practical space for the whole family to gather.

Yes, there’s more to the success story of “Staging for the Sexes with Delicious Decors.” Until then, the Williams family is very happy in their new home!
