Karen McCurtain-Blair Interior Design Taos, NM

Being an artist, I bring an innovative and fresh perspective to Interior Design. Every project I do is a blank canvas. I have the ability to tie every element into the whole without relying on any type of "formula". We can use your major pieces and shop economically for the rest. A new look for your home or office is within reach!

"We downsized to a smaller, older house that needed work. We didn't have a clue. Karen and her crew came in and worked a miracle!" Paul

"She just led me through it. She made all of the decision making fun and easy. The end product was more than I could have ever imagined." Diana

"Karen is amazing and totally transformed my space! She has a focused and refined sense of what works and what doesn't... from colors to furniture to window treatments. Her professionalism, talent, creativity, and ability to tune into what her client wants/needs (including reading between the lines), results in nothing less than transformation! All of this is underscored by her grace, intuition, and ability to view the whole picture and break it down into doable chunks." Jan

Recently, I staged a house in Taos, New Mexico. The house sold the day of the caravan for full asking price. Current market listings are taking an average of 320 days (or more) to sell. What made the difference?

It was made more marketable by home staging…creating the most appealing home to the greatest number of prospective buyers, just impersonal enough to not infringe on a buyer’s own sense of style. I de-clutter, re-arrange and accessorize in order to showcase the home’s best features.

Real estate professionals who use staging swear by it. I know you have about 5 seconds to make an impact on your buyer. I make that happen. The investment in my services is well worth it, resulting in more money for you, your company, and the seller. Research reveals that staged homes sell an average of 32% faster and for 3 to 10% of a higher asking price!

"After my house was on the market nearly a year I asked for her help! The house was under contract in a few weeks." Doris

Initial 2 hour consultation is $250.00 and includes making basic suggestions, giving the client a written report on what was discussed, as well as a follow up to help fine-tune the house.

If more work is needed other than just editing the house contents and doing a little rearranging, I am available at an hourly rate. I attempt to use sellers own things, in some situations I suggest purchasing a few key items that may then be used in the sellers new home. Call me today at (575) 586-1029 for an appointment.
