Home Staging Techniques
Home staging techniques are the tricks of the trade used by professional
home stagers
the world over. While
home staging
may look like decorating to some uninitiated observers, it is actually far more complex. Having studied both arts, I can tell you that although the results of staging and decorating both improve the aesthetic appeal of the property, that is about where the similarities end…
Marketing with Home Staging Techniques
Home staging is all about
real estate marketing.
While decorating seeks to improve the look and feel of a home from the owner’s viewpoint and for the owner’s enjoyment, home staging seeks to present an atmosphere of
universal appeal,
with little personalization or taste-specific features. Decorating is performed when a person is setting up a home to fulfill THEIR OWN NEEDS, while home staging is used to cater to the NEEDS OF OTHERS when trying to sell the property. To put it very simply, real estate staging seeks to
declutter
and
de-personalize
the look and feel of the property in an effort to make an
emotional connection
to prospective buyers.
Professional vs. DIY Home Staging Techniques
Professional home stagers have an incredible array of tools at the disposal to help prepare your home for sale. They typically remove most of your own furniture and possessions and substitute incredibly well planned pieces from their own company warehouse. Some home stagers use
art rental
and
furniture rental
companies to provide an even larger selection of items to perfect the appeal of your property.
DIY home staging
is a compromise which works well for many home sellers, since it is more flexible and far less costly than
full service staging.
Of course, the trade off is that the final aesthetic might not be as good as the professionally staged house. Of course, one way around this is to hire a
home staging consultant
to guide you in your staging plan, helping you to achieve a professional look without the high
cost
of full staging services.
Advice on Home Staging Techniques
If you intend on
hiring a home stager,
you do not have to worry at all about what techniques they will use. All you have to do is find the best stager for your needs and make sure you can pay them! If you are going the DIY route, then you will have to learn some of these techniques yourself. There are many great staging ideas in
books,
magazine
articles and on television
shows.
Of course, the internet is also a great place to look for
staging advice,
as you are doing right now! If you need any help in finding the best techniques for your property, feel free to
