Secrets to Styling a Successful Booth and My Top Staging Tips

- In this video, I downsize my retail booth while sharing eight of my top tips for staging and styling home decor: starting with a good foundation, creating a focal point, incorporating a variety of texture and materials, limiting your color palette, using the vertical space, maintaining a cohesive style, creating pyramids in odd numbers, and editing. Hopefully, these tips will be helpful whether you are decorating a room in your home or a retail/consignment space.

I hope the audio is better. If you have had trouble hearing me in previous videos, please, let me know if I am loud enough. I hope you enjoy this video even if you don’t have a booth yourself. I tried to focus on styling tips that are true for any space. See you next Tuesday!😀
My BIGGEST PROBLEM is styling my booth....I have a cabinet with locked glass and then a brick wall and they put up a peg board for me...but its very difficult to style it bc of the glass doors, but it nice to have them bc they lock...Ive had MANY small valuables or hand mades go "missing" bc unfortunately they cant be everywhere and people steal =/
My FIRST biggest biggest issue is PRICING! I dont do rent, I coulnt afford it when my booth partner left, so LUCKILY for me, they do a percentage of my sales instead which I know they loose money but Im very lucky they let me stay. I am trying to get my sales up, but Im NEVER sure about how to price. Friends tell me Im a little too low, but if thats the case, why doesnt it sell....they have said if its too low, people think there is something wrong with it...if its too high, it sits for a while before it sells. I feel like I cant win, lol! Its very frustrating and most people that talk about booths and resell NEVER talk pricing and how they get their prices. There is actually only ONE YTer I know of that talks about pricing, what she paid and what she sells it for and even if she had to lower the price and that helps, but shes the only one I know of. I try to look around at other booths, but there are a lot of just antique dealers and other stuff isnt really the same as what I sell (which is more like the stuff you sell). Its hard to balance between time put in, price paid, and then the percentage that stays at the place.
@@Em22-wtf ...I had a booth a few months back. I learned to take a picture each time I set it with new merchandise. Compared the picture to my monthly sales. That's how I knew what was sold and what was taken. We were on a computerized inventory.
Yes, volume is much improved. Good job!
@@Em22-wtf So, here is what I have done. I walk around my store with a notebook and find things similar to what I sell and write down the prices. Also, I know which vendors are successful, so I pay special attention to their prices. I try to price my things in the middle range-not the lowest in the store but not the highest either. I think the appearance of your booth is just as important as pricing. Take pictures of your booth. Does it look attractive and cohesive to you? Several booths in my store look like a garage sale-they try to sell a little bit of everything and end up selling almost nothing. I didn’t talk about prices because I don’t think there is anyway to fairly compare my booth to a booth in a different store, different city, different state... I could mark my prices higher at other stores in the area, but my store is five minutes from my house, so I don’t mind lower my expectations a bit for the convenience. You are lucky to have free rent. I pay rent plus the owners take 8% of my sales, and I have to volunteer in the store five hours a month (or I’m charged $80). Try to tell a story with your booth displays. My “story” right now is spring and gardening. In the fall, I do a back to school/vintage library theme. Take out things that clearly don’t go with your theme and your selected colors. See if that helps!🤞
@@pattietorres6891 I get an email at the end of the day showing what sold. I used to take pictures every time I went to the store, but I stopped. It is so frustrating when things are missing, but the store owners do not reimburse me for stolen items, so I try not to fret about it. I also avoid selling small items (like jewelry) that are easy to shoplift. It is a little harder to shove a birdhouse in your purse!🤪
I would love to see this become a regular series.
Wow! Thanks for the feedback. I love the suggestion!😀
@@CanterburyCottage I also would love to see you restyle your booth seasonally.
Yes please!!!!
Yes. I love all your videos! But this one was very helpful to me!
Your nephew wasn’t wrong about the challenge clock btw. I’ve already see that video and spoiler alert! It turns out amazing! Also that formerly beakless chicken turned into a winner winner chicken dinner!
I agree
Loved seeing your booth. You should definitely include more videos like this. Love the mix. You are very talented and do such a great job
Thank you, sweetie! I can’t wait for next Tuesday’s video. I worked on the clock today, and it’s not bad. Definitely, better than before!🤪
For me the sound has always been fine. This video was marvelously entertaining and instructive. You’re still a teacher, Sherry.
Thanks so much! I’m glad the sound is fine. I really appreciate your comments!😀
I’ve been doing the 3 and 5 thing for many years now. The photo thing works super well. I’m an artist and take photos of works in progress to see what jumps out at me as off or needing touch ups. Very helpful!!
I love watching the staging , would love to see more.
Yea! I really appreciate the feedback!😀 I was thinking I might do something other than crafts at least once a month.
I like the staging tips. You have an eye for the beautiful.

IM SOOOOO GLAD I FOUND YOU...
🌻🌻🎨🎨🌈🌈🥳🥳😇😇🌈🌈🎨🎨🌻🌻
Yay! I’m so glad that you found me, too! Love all the emojis!🥰
Omg! Thank you! I was just wondering (after binge watching most of your videos) what your booth looks like. And there it is!! Awesome! You are a treasure! I love listening to your soothing voice and your ideas are incredible! Thank you for being brave and making your videos! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
You are so welcome, Stephanie! Thank you for all the nice comments! 🥰 I was really nervous (for the first 10-12 videos)!😜 I think I am starting to feel more comfortable! I really appreciate you watching!
Absolutely, show us more. It was fun and gave us an insight into what else you do. Great tips on staging that we can even apply to our own home decorating.
Thank you as always 💛
I loved this video. I'm always interested in seeing how people style their items. Thanks for sharing!
Love the ideas you give and the style . Makes me feel warm inside and brings out the creative juices flowing inside of me . Which we had more local people showing their talent here. Their are so many creative people hiding inside their homes , wish they would share their beautiful work with others . Thanks for making your channel. ❤
Give us a tour of your living area and ideas of how you choose to go where. Also do you do window treatments (curtains) ? How you made them, how you hung them. Paint color ideas. Loads of that type of decorating videos.
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I can definitely make some videos of this type! 😀 I’m not a trained decorator. I’m self-taught, but I can share what I do in my home.
@@CanterburyCottage thank you! I think most of us really admire your style and ingenuity. I don't need NCIDQ or IDDP after someone's name. I know what I like. For some people it's just natural others of us have to really work at it.
I loved this! The tips you provided were so helpful for both home and if you're selling. Would not mind more of these at all!
Your booth is one that if I were in the building I would gravitate to. It is so nice. How funny that your nephew clearly reminds and sounds like your brother to you. I laughed and truly appreciated that. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you! My nephew is only in second grade. He cracks me up!
@@CanterburyCottage : hahaha, you are cracking *me* up! have you considered once in a blue moon doing an upcycle project with one of the kids at a time? i don't like it when video creators allow their kids to be hyper or silly on air, and i don't recommend kids become a regular feature in videos about collecting and crafting, but once in a blue moon with well behaved, focused children can be nice. perhaps subscribers can help you decide if you are considering trying this. *:-)*
I love how you stage your area whether it's at home or your store absolutely beautiful
Thanks so much, Annie. I was worried this video would be boring!
@@CanterburyCottage it's never boring as long as people have an open mind to learn something new I'm not that good at decorating I can make stuff but staging is different unless I have a specific theme it's really hard just for everyday decor
I love that you showed us styling your booth. We all need help in that way.
Sherry, thank you so much for this video. Your tips and advice are as priceless as your creations. It’s one thing to repurpose an item, but it’s another to make it so appealing that someone actually wants to purchase it. Your tips on organizing and arranging an eye-appealing booth are invaluable. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with a novice!
I LOVE the staging and styling videos. Please continue!
Yes, love the staging of your booth, the rules you follow and how you pair everything up. Thank you.
I enjoyed seeing your booth and how you change it up for the seasons. Please continue doing these videos. Thank you.
I think anyone who has a booth would agree that seeing someone else’s style like your own only enhances a shoppers appreciation for what not only we love, but they love, and increases sales! Everybody learns from someone else and that’s why we do what we do! Keep up what you’re doing and thanx, Shelly of Time Honored Treasures.
You are so right! Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it!😀
Yes! Please make this a regular addition. Loved it.
It's so nice to see a bit of your booth and outdoor purchases as well! Keep doing it please !
Yes, I enjoyed this content. I wander the booths at our local antique warehouses admiring the better decorated ones. I find myself being drawn into the ones that show a well thought out design and style. I learn alot from watching you on a weekly basis. Thank you!
I love to see how you arrange your items. Love what you did with your niece and nephew choices.
The audio is great! I found this video helpful for my home decor arrangements. I wish I could afford a retail space but simply can't plus I work full-time at a job...groan... Anyway, this video was very interesting and helpful, regardless. I wish I could visit your booth in person. I saw several things I would purchase!!LOL. Plus it would be great to meet you, shake your hand, and thank you in person for all of your wonderful ideas, inspiration, and hard work. Blessings to you in your continued amazing success!!
I’d love to see your booth updated with each season!!
How to decorate is as important as how to craft. You are so right about the decor, to be designed as you would be decorating your home or a room, and doing what you love. It's not just a business it's a pleasure thing also. Enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy.❤️ Tks for sharing more than just how to craft. There's plenty of those chanel's out there. No one shows how to style or decorate to appeal to the customer. I love your channel I watched every time I see a new video. I'm subscribed and will continue to watch your great ideas. I envy your home, it's beautiful inside and out. You must be a very busy lady. I love your style!❤️ Keep the videos coming. God Bless you.
I, too, loved this video, as I will be moving into my first reselling booth. I’m very excited, scared, elated, feeling very vulnerable. But I know that I have a lot of really unusually neat items…and my style is eclectic!
I enjoy everything you do. I learn something new EVERY time.
I have a booth now for almost 4 years. Yes, please continue to share your booth and all of your ideas and information! Love your channel!!
Thank you! What do you sell in your booth? It’s a lot more work than most people realize!
I really loved this video on decorating a booth. The tips of pyramid decorating and sticking to a few colors makes so much more sense to me for my own home. Thank you.
Yes, please with all the videos you do. This was as valuable as the crafting ones too. I don't have a booth, but the tips you give were so helpful for home decor. Thank you!
You are so welcome. I’m so glad you liked it!😊
This helped ALOT! I love your crafting videos but occasional videos like this one is amazing
I'm so glad! I really appreciate the honest feedback!😀
I love both kinds of videos. I particularly liked this one for the pyramid design clue and limit of colors.
I have wondered what you do with all the things you make and now I know that you sell many items in your booth. i did that MANY years ago and always enjoyed it. Still like to watch you come up with the ideas you do!
Loved it! Every video you do inspires me 💗💗
You don’t need any inspiration, girl! You’re so talented!
Do whatever you want you’re entitled to do whatever you want I like both. I finally get it. I understand. How do I achieve some of the luxe that you create. I just did my house and rearrange so many things and it looks so much better and everything goes together. Much better. I can’t believe it took me all these years to get with the program. Thank you so much I love your videos. Keep them coming. I enjoy watching them in between my breaks.❤
Your booth is very interesting. I loved the remade grandfather clock. Very clever ideas!
This is something I would love to see again! Lots of great ideas! 🤗
Thank you for sharing your booth Sheree. Everything fits in so well.
I liked seeing how you displayed your decor in your booth. Showing how it's done. What to keep in mind when displaying your decor. It was good instruction
Very nice of you to show us how to do a booth or room....very helpful. We no longer have alot of the "treasures" to put out because we were going to move near our son in Texas...our other two grown children are in heaven......, But at ages 77 and 79 we decided we couldn't handle the humidity, heat, traffic and now snow and ice from pipes breaking and freezing and driving so far to get to everything, so we now have a kind of very plain granny Grand Millennial look....but oh well ....a few more plants, maybe some new pillows.....heh!
Loved seeing the staging, since I have a retail Vintage/Retail store I live to watch and see other perspectives and talents. TYFS
💜💜💜
I very much liked watching you stage your space, as I too have a retail space!
I picked up a few tips, thanks. Love your crafting too.
I really liked both of the videos Sherry but I do enjoy your crafting ones as well.
I love the different videos Sherry. Keep em coming!
I shop from your booth all the time!!! I had no idea you had a youtube channel!!! I'm a huge fan. Thank you for the great ideas.
Hi, Becky! I just started the channel in February. It was my new year’s resolution. My goal was to have a video out in January, but at least I started working on it in January!🤪
You’re just a sweet spot in my busy day. I enjoy it all
I loved your styling tips. Would like to see more of those videos. Thank you. Well done.
Please include more of these. I loved it
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback!😀
I love your display. Thank you for all the tips on setting up. I just love your items
Good morning! This was interesting because you tied in some decorating tips. I would have enjoyed you pointing out a few items that you upcycled or crafted. If you decide to do this monthly or something then it would be interesting to hear a few items that sold. Of course, we will all want to know about the clock and if it goes fast and for a profit!
I really appreciate the suggestions, Sharon. I probably won’t show my booth again any time soon. However, I can certainly include updates on what has sold and for how much. I love that idea!😀 We’ll see about that clock! I haven’t started working on it yet. Not sure how it will turn out!🤪
Leery I just recently retired and now I have something to look forward to on Tuesday Mornings!
U you are great!
I really enjoyed the video on setting-up a booth. I really enjoy all your ideas about crafting and home decorating.
I find so helpful to learn how to display specially because I have an open shelf in my kitchen, so I love it!!! Thank you!!
Watching you style your booth and discussing how you make choices was a learning experience for me. As much as I'd like to have a booth, I doubt that I could keep up with the amount of work it entails. BUT there is one thing missing from this video and that is how you determine what to charge for each item and how much it will sell for. Sadly, that is often one area that isn't discussed by anyone selling their crafts. I'm sure many of us are curious to learn how to sell items they make.
I love to see your booth and how you style shelves and create vignettes. 😊
I love all of your videos. Always helpful and interesting!
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I loved watching you style your booth and your design advice. I would watch this type if video anytime.
I have always been the one that just decorates with what she has and with what she loves. So many of my things are from hand me downs and thrifting with very few new items. With your instructions I can at least take what I have and arrange it pleasingly. Thanks so much for sharing, love it!! God bless you and happy thrifting. Sherry from Alabama.
Sherry G from Alabama, I think the most interesting homes are those decorated with meaningful items. I’m sure your home is a beautiful reflection of you! 😀 Sherry G from Illinois!
I learned a lot from this video. Please continue showing your talents. Have a beautiful day
I liked seeing how things goes together. It also showed me a lot of your projects
I enjoyed this type of video, however nothing is better than the crafting videos!
I just watched this video in May. I LOVED it. I just moved my computer from the living room to an unoccupied bedroom. I use my computer for Zoom calls with my WW leader and other WW members. Right now, I'm skipping today's WW because my room is not presentable. If money was not a factor, I'd love my background to look like those people on TV that have wonderful backgrounds. You know, grand ART, large bouquets, etc. But after replacing my gutters this winter, money is now tight. While watching your videos I got several ideas on how to improve my background. One idea is to find a way to display the jewelry I make. All the gals at WW know I make jewelry, so having it on display would just fit with what they know about me. I'm redecorating my house in the new grandmillennial style, which is sort of similar to your style. It must be because I loved everything in your booth. So if I don't do jewelry, I might do a bookcase for my background. And I will rerun this video as I decorate it.
I enjoyed seeing your booth. I do understand why you are needing more time for your channel. You do an amazing job!
I have had an antique booth for 7-8 years and totally agree with your comment about not using plastic or other cheap shelving. Another pet peeve is booth owners who just put items right on the ground, most buyers will not bend down to look at something. Would love more videos like this.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, you are so right about keeping things off the ground! I should have included that tip!
I like this like all your stuff you do. Branch out with your content I think most of us are here for your style not just DIYs
Thank you! That means a lot!☺️
Loved this series! Please continue.
Thank you for sharing your booth. Yes, would like to see more of these 🤗 along with the upcycled videos.
Thank you for the feedback! I am relieved that viewers weren’t bored with this video!
I loved seeing so many of the projects from other videos displayed in your retail space! Super cool!
I would love to see more videos on this subject. I am wanting to open a booth of my own an your tips are so important. Thank you!
Wow…what you said is so true. So before you totally rearranged, I thought it looked cluttered cuz of the many colors used. Once you grouped several of the same colors together, took some items out, your final display definitely looked pleasing to the eye. So this tip will really help me when staging my booth. Plus, now understand about mixing styles. Like your table. Thanks so much for sharing! MOST helpful.
Great for me ! Nice to understand the pyramid style which helps tremendously. Thank you. ✋🤗
I love the crafting videos but this was very helpful and you pointed out many things I would not have thought of. Thank you
Yes! Loved this video!
Your life is all good. I really enjoyed seeing your retail space!
Loved this! Even though I don't have a booth, I loved how you showed us that the same concept can be used at home.
I have a large space in an antique mall it keeps me very busy and it's so enjoyable it's my hobby it's addictive and keeps me creative. Love you videos great work 🌷
Thanks for this! I love seeing your booth and your staging ideas are very helpful.
Yes. Enjoyed this!
Love seeing you arrange your both!
I really enjoyed seeing you arrange your retail space. It was challenging and you were up for the job! You made it so aesthetically pleasing. Would love to see this type of video again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I do need to do a booth update.
Thank you soooo much for making this video! Such great tips! I appreciate you sharing with us and giving us the visuals to go with your tips. I would love to shop in your booth!
Love the variety of visits! Keep it up.
Perfectly lovely! I love the crafting videos but do enjoy learning.
I love your booth!! Ideas, ideas and more ideas. Wonderful!!
I love when you share all your talents and ideas
Thank you, Carol! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos!😀
The info in this video is valuable for a booth owner, those who participate in shows and homeowners. It was a brave choice to downsize and cut down on the pressure to keep the booth constantly stocked.
I am glad I could give a few tips for booth owners. I am relieved of the pressure to be constantly painting furniture. I enjoy painting, but it was feeling more like work than fun.
Love the Store! Hope to see more of it soon!
My mom and daddy used to have a booth at our local peddlers mall and she had the knack for decorating it beautifully and it was quite profitable. They had to close it as their health declined, but people would always comment on how beautiful it was. :)
I’m sorry that they had to close it. I’m sure they have many good memories of shopping and working on that booth together!😀
Loved seeing your booth and your styling tips!!
This was both entertaining and informative. Would appreciate more of this now and then, but definitely, keep the crafting coming!! Love your creations.
Thanks for the feedback! I am thinking that one video a month will be something other than crafts.
Loved this video. I am a vendor at a mall and I
Picked up some great ideas from you. I would love to see more of these video💕
That was the most informative video ever on decorating,thank you!
Interesting...something I have always wondered. Would love more of it all!
I don't have a booth but the decorating advice is easily transferable to areas in my home
Loved to see you work on the booth
I like all of what you've done. Styling your booth also provides some ideas for how to style items in your own home. Keep up the great inspirational ideas.
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback, Lora!
I'm so happy that you decided to keep your utube station❤️😄👏👍 !!
