The purpose
of a model home is to show off a particular design or architectural aspect of a
house and entice buyers to purchase a large housing complex based on the
design. Because the home's main purpose is to sit and look pretty, designing
the interior with an eye for style is a crucial element to selling the space.
The walls of
a model home are like blank canvases to a designer. Because the space is only
for viewing and not for living, the transition from one room to the next should
be a fluid process and not jarring to the eyes. Crafting a theme for the wall decor will unify each room and
send the sights of potential home buyers gliding gracefully from room to room.
One way to
create universal yet eye-catching wall decor for a model home is by installing graphic wall
decals of re-printed artwork by one particular artist throughout the house.
Michigan
artist Natasha Wescoat creates colorful and playful paintings on removable
wallpaper of swirling trees behind blazing gold backdrops. Each painting
depicts the same bold and vibrant style with a slight variation so viewers of
the model home will find a unified yet surprising quality to every space in the
home.
