LUX Autumn 2018

113 Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design provides model home merchandising for home builders on the national and international levels; full service interior design for residential and commercial properties; and home staging for new and resell properties. Taking time to provide us with a detailed overview of the firm, is founder and owner, Joan Inglis, who reveals more about their innovative designs and what it means to have been selected in LUXlife ’s 2018 Leading Designers Awards as the Most Outstanding for Luxury Staging – North Carolina. Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design is very humbled and honoured to have been selected as the Most Outstanding for Luxury Staging – North Carolina. The award was totally unexpected and unsolicited. This is what makes LUXlife Magazine Leading Designers Awards so special. It is based on merit and not a contest where judges are familiar with the contestants and swayed by popularity. This award means so much to us! At Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design, all of our services come with the specialty and recognitions awarded in the luxury market. We have a furniture showroom and design centre in Belmont, North Carolina. Also, we sell high-end name brand furnishings, as well as designing and selling custom furniture. Since starting Carolina Spaces in 2004, we have soared to the top of the staging and design industry and we remain there, while increasing our highly qualified staff and expanding our service territory each year. We have developed a very loyal following of discerning clients and referral business. We are constantly gaining new clients who appreciate our attention to detail, exquisite furnishings, and our gifted ability to establish trends - which sets us apart. Other designers and stagers merely follow trends and watch what we do while trying to copy our uniqueness. It’s important for Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design to gain trust with new clients. We are a client-focused design firm. We gather information from the client as it pertains to project expectations and focus our portfolio on the client’s needs and wants. Also, we create excitement around what we are doing and ensure the client is thrilled every step of the way. Clients can expect the best and expect the unexpected with Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design. We often hear clients tell us that one of the most exciting aspects of working with our firm is the assurance that they will see their project completed in new and unique ways using colour, texture, and furnishings. Our clients want talent and quality of products, and we deliver! The most important attribute that a designer should support is to focus on the likes and needs of the client while putting aside their personal 1808LU31 bias and tastes. Designing is a delicate balance of listening, observing, and guiding the client with selections that will keep the client happy and satisfied for years to come. Carolina Spaces has seen too many designers force their personal style on the client, and many clients have come to us very unhappy with the outcome after working with a domineering, intolerant designer. Our team of staging and design professionals has over 100 years of combined experience in the interior design and real estate industries. We put education first and constantly learn, grow and share our knowledge with the public through professional speaking engagements. Recognition and awards received for our work range from local, regional, state and national to international! Also, our clients leave us great feedback and we’ve been recognised multiple times as Best in Customer Service. Our accolades and portfolio speak for itself. One of our first projects performed as a company, was furnishing and decorating a $10 million vacant home for a red-carpet charity event. We were given the very short notice of 10 days. Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design is comprised of a fearless team of designers who never say, never. Another short notice project, was a builder’s model home that needed furnished in seven days. We successfully completed this project and were instrumental in helping the builder sell many homes in the subdivision. Also, we have helped many luxury and unique homes sell that lingered on the market while vacant. We furnished a $1.2 million historic property that had been for sale vacant with no offers for 462 days. That home sold for full price in 19 days after staging by Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design. There are many sellers who do not adopt a wait-and-see approach. They contact us first before listing their luxury home for sale. These sellers know our reputation and know they can count on appropriate top-quality furnishings. Homes staged by Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design sell on average in five days. Many of our staged properties sell in less than 24 hours. Clients contact us to bring exceptional results to their exceptional properties. Lastly, we make every effort to help community organisations and we are always willing to assist non-profit agencies. Carolina Spaces was awarded on the state level for furnishing and marketing a home builder’s beautiful model home put on public tour to benefit a local assistance centre that provides food, clothing, financial assistance and life skills training to those in need.
