The Staging Fashionista Blog: March 2010

I was staging an occupied home and one of the rooms was a guest room.  So in order to add something special for the guests or should I say buyers, I added an origami towel rose and some chocolates.  I sure hope the guests or should I say buyers like the origami rose.  I know the homeowner and realtor loved the added touch of towels and chocolates in the guest room! 

Home staging is all about those important details called pockets of emotion that makes a home appealing to a buyer.  You want to show off livable and usable space but also make it inviting and "homey".  You don't want buyers to walk into a sterile, vacant, unstaged home. You want a buyer to say this is the one!  There has to be some kind of connection or emotion that has to be stirred up in a buyer to make your home "The One" they want to buy.  This comes with the staging details.  Making each room inviting and adding some pockets of emotion here and there will provide that connection and feeling that will grab a buyers attention and get your home sold every time.  So what am I talking about when I say pockets of emotion?  Here are some examples.  Do they stir up some emotions for you as well?
