Den Before Staging |
To effectively market luxury homes in a competitive housing market it is imperative real estate agents think creatively about how to best present the properties to prospective buyers.
I am proud to represent the ultra-luxury residence at 10005 Meadowbrook in Dallas’ Preston Hollow neighborhood. To highlight the home’s uniqueness, I selected Dallas-based interior designer Barry Williams of Barry Williams Inc. to stage the almost 12,000-square-foot residence, which features a treasure trove of inlaid and mosaic stone. The home is truly a work of art in itself.
At 10005 Meadowbrook, Barry approached two design challenges – keeping an interesting mix

and the home’s unique living room – in his usual confident manner. “The home features five large living areas and if they all have two chairs flanking one sofa it would appear uninspired,” Barry says. “There are, however, only so many ways to arrange furniture, so keeping the mix of fabrics, textures, colors and whether or not the furniture is upholstered or shows a wood frame is all important.
“I like for a room’s landscape to be varied,” Barry says. “I like all different types of furniture as well – painted and stained wood, metal, stone, all upholstered, and different textures. All comfortable, of course.”

“The specific challenge of the living room is that the room is ringed by nine onyx columns and all the furniture is seen from all sides,” Barry says. “That is very unusual. The front door is on axis with the back doors to the courtyard. Respecting that line of site is critical and yet that is not the center of the room at all. I had to make it the center of the back of a sofa and then back up a table to the sofa so that would be the view coming in the front door. Walking into the back of a sofa never feels right. It is not welcoming at all. And yet the room can’t be all chairs either.”

Barry has done a superb job complementing the already superb home at 10005 Meadowbrook. I am truly proud to represent this fine property and I know that choosing Barry Williams to add his personal touch was a great decision.
