Many people have questioned me about the concept of Home Staging…

“Staging? What’s that?”

“Isn’t it the same as Interior Decorating?”

“Oh, you mean ‘flipping houses’?”

Needless to say, I find myself constantly educating real estate agents, homeowners, and builders not only about the concept of staging, but also its benefits. Home Staging is the art of “strategically preparing your home to sell quickly, and for top dollar.” Home Stagers, as we are affectionately called, de-personalize (removing photos, diplomas, etc.), de-clutter, and rearrange or add furniture and accessories to maximize a home’s appeal to the broadest range of buyers. In layman’s terms, we suggest repairs, furniture, art, and/or plant rearrangement, paint colors that should be made to your home PRIOR to going on the market.

Home Staging vs. Interior Decorating

While most people may argue that Home Staging and Interior Decorating are one in the same, I respectfully beg to differ. They’re actually complete opposites. With Interior Decorating, the goal is to decorate the home, taking into account the homeowner’s individual personality and needs. If a homeowner loves the color purple, for example, an Interior Decorator may paint the living room walls purple, custom design a purple headboard, and add purple window treatments all throughout the home. The Interior Decorator will also take into account the homeowner’s needs. Let’s say that the homeowner works from home and NEEDS a home office. The goal for the Interior Decorator may be to create a functional space in which the homeowner can do their work with little or no distractions. Interior Decorating is all about the HOMEOWNER.

In contrast, Home Staging does not factor in the personality or needs of the home’s owner. Instead, it focuses on bringing out the true personality of the home itself. Furniture, plants, and artwork are (re)arranged to highlight the unique, yet positive, characteristics of the home. Home Staging is all about “decorating to sell”. Any potential negatives of the home are downplayed, while positive features are emphasized. The goal is to ensure that your home will show better and attract the broadest range of potential buyers.
