The Secret to Staging that Sells – from a Colorado Springs Home Stager. What’s the secret to staging a home that sells? A wise mentor who once worked for the greatest story teller of our generation, Mr. Walt Disney, revealed to me “its all about the experience”. What experience does your home create? How do you tell a compelling story when your home looks like the home that’s for sale down the street?
Take a cue from what’s on-trend in design. A tastefully collected, curated look rather than a perfectly matched suite off the showroom floor reflects a “lifestyle experience” that Buyers will daydream about. Highlight your home’s features by using pieces that tell a story and feel as though they’ve been acquired over time. So, how do you tell your home’s story without looking like Grandma’s attic?
Reclaimed pieces such as this reclaimed elm wood and forged iron bench are touches that will give Buyers pause...
and then admire those beautiful hardwood floors.
19th century botanical prints from over the pond, England, showcase what might be deemed as a somewhat ordinary fireplace
into what is now the pièce de résistance of the room.
Envision dinner with your family seated at this lovely table complete with 1940’s Blair dinnerware, ambient rattan-lantern lighting and… 
oh hey, look at the view off the deck, is that Pike’s Peak? 
(see where my story's headed?)
The secret to staging that sells is this - tell a story of what life is like living in this home. It should be an experience that Buyers desire. Create the desire, and you’re certain to create an offer. This home created an offer in 33 days.
