Home Staging TechniquesHome 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 TechniquesProfessional 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.
