Staging a vacant home is nuanced. There are decisions to make regarding which rooms to stage (only main living spaces?), how to stage them (as a bedroom or an office?), and what to stage them with (current homeowner furniture, thrifted pieces, new?)… and regardless of how you answer the first 3 questions, there’s one key that will make each space amazing… and that is STYLE! Staging a vacant home is about creating an emotional connection between potential buyers and the property… and style plays a key role in that! A well-styled home, using current and relevant design, can make the space feel warm, welcoming, and lived-in, helping buyers imagine themselves living there. On the other hand, a clean but un-styled home can feel cold, uninviting, and impersonal. So, while cleaning is important for creating a good impression, it is not enough to create the emotional connection that is crucial in selling a home. Style helps to elevate the property, making it stand out and appealing to potential buyers.
Think about purchases you’ve been influenced to make because they were styled (marketed) well. Imagine a beautiful dress just hanging on a rack… verses staging the dress on a model with appropriate accessories! Style sells!! Style is pretty… and we all want it. It can be the reason someone wants your home!!
However you stage… think about styling. Make it attractive, and the people will come!
