I know there is a say "Home Staging is not Interior Decorating" and as a Home Stager and Interior Decorator in the same time, somehow I agree with that.To me a good result in a Staging project involves much of Interior Decorating principles and criteria and I think you can not get an appealing final look of a space until you relate colors, forms, textures and patterns and coordinate scale & proportions.Keep in your mind space organization, choose the best furniture lay-out to visually increase space and to create ideal traffic patterns, emphasize architectural details and expose the good features all over the house you stage.Don't forget to consider both, natural and artificial light to create a certain mood in a room or as a spot light on displayed items.Read about everything that's trendy in the field, watch TV shows, visit profiled stores and make sure you keep yourself updated with trends and events.
On the other hand, decorating only for sale is not enough to increase selling chances of a property placed in a competitive market. As a stager you are supposed to be able to minimize weaknesses and to highlight the strong features. How to do that? Exercise your eye to see critical details, find solutions based on low cost, be creative and use your imagination.Try different alternatives and do as much as you can even sometimes looks overwhelming and your energy level goes low.You'll find that everything will come nicely to an end, just put your passion in the job you choose to do and be patient. Great rewards are waiting for you at the end of the day!
