HOME STAGING vs. REDESIGN

What’s the difference between Home Staging & Redesign?

Do we need to do both?

Is one more expensive than the other?

Here’s the differences between the two:

Both services use many of the same skills, except in Home Staging you are “decorating and designing to sell”, and in Redesign you are “decorating to live.”  There is a subtle but important distinction.

If you are planning to sell, you need to consider what potential buyers might be looking for and how to stage an environment that your target market will love and want. 

These factors become very important:

Ø  Be sure your rooms have an open and uncrowded appearance

Ø  Minimize distractions

Ø  De-personalize

Ø  De-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter!

Ø  Set up focal point areas to entice your Buyer

Ø  Complete repairs and clean thoroughly

Ø  Repaint to appeal to your Buyers

Ø  Prune and organize your closets to maximize closet space – Buyers always comment on big closets!

If you are decorating a home to live in, consider these important points:

Ø  Understand how family members will use each room

Ø  Decide furniture placement to meet the needs of the entire family

Ø  Pull your décor together with attention to everyone’s tastes

Ø  Find ways to display your “treasures”

Ø  Determine colors that will appeal to everyone and carry complimentary colors through each room and its accessories to create an overall theme

Ø  Organize cabinets and closets to accommodate what you have with some thought towards the future.

Home Staging Clients who would never have imagined working with a “decorator” will be pleasantly amazed at the transformation that can be made to their present home.

Many times Clients are so astounded with what was easily accomplished in their present home, which they are then anxious for help and ideas with their new home; what furniture they should bring with them, how their furniture should be placed in their new home, and picking new paint colors and new accessories.
