Home Stagers’ Secrets to Copy in Stylizing Your Home

Wednesday, March 28th, 2018

Hancock and Moore Living Room Adirondack Quilted Rocker 5844-R-Q: Have this lovely piece welcome your guests to your home.

Do you know the famous Shakespearean quote, all the world is a stage? He might have not thought of the world of interior design to make sense of this very thought when he was saying it but, here we are, in a world where homes are staged.

Home Staging History

Many of you might not think how home staging all began when you’re out buying your next home. This all started in 1985 when Barb Schwarz created the concept of staging. She believed that a home staging investment is less costly than the reduction in the value of a home if it is not presented to the market appropriately.

Indeed, statistics have proven that staged homes sell more than the un-staged ones. Also, staged homes tend to stay 80% less time on the market.

What Is Staging?

Staging is an art. This is the art of setting up a home so that it will look its best. Of course, the homeowner remains the owner of his property up until the time when he finally decides to let go of it. Once this happens, the property becomes a marketable product, and just like any product, its features and benefits must be highlighted.

You have to stage a home like a buyer is going to purchase a dream.

Home Staging Tips to Steal

Mind the curb appeal. This is number one because this is the first impression that the home is going to give. Invest in flowering plants and some Adirondack chairs to spice up the welcoming ambiance. Cut any overgrown weed and add plantings to up the stylish appeal of your front yard.

Remember that staging does not begin in the interiors of a home and neither does interior design for your own benefit.

Install ample storage. Just as you would pack your personal belongings if you were staging a home, you also need to make sure that your guests will not see any clutter that does not make sense. Keep the toiletries right where they should be and the children’s toys in their respective boxes. It’s all about finding a space for each of these things when they are not in use.

Do decorate with framed family photos, though, as this will personalize your home.

Define the room functions. Be sure to arrange the rooms the way that they are supposed to be utilized. If the architecture all highlight that lovely fireplace and the room is obviously a living room, then use it as it was intended to be.

Your chosen furnishings will also play an important role in making your home aesthetically enviable. Just as home stagers give buyers a sense of how each room is supposed to be used, then your goal as a homeowner who is expecting to bring family and friends in is to fill the spaces with relevant furniture pieces and their corresponding accessories.

Designate kids’ and pet’s areas. This does not mean that your kids or your fur baby won’t be welcome in your home. It is all a matter of giving them their own spot, too. Home stagers know how to organize a home where there won’t be runaway toys to worry about.

Doing this will also teach your kids discipline as they learn to put their own stuff in their own space. As for the pet, be sure to delegate a spot as well where its calls of nature won’t become the center of attention.

Always ask for a second opinion. Don’t ask a friend or a relative for their second opinion because they might end up being nice to you. Have a third party who will critically look all over your home. Hearken to the reviews of this person especially if this person is an expert on interior design.
