Are you adding that element of surprise or that something unexpected to your home staging? If not you should. By adding that element of surprise a home will stand out and be memorable to potential buyers. When buyers go out to search for homes they see so many in a day that if there were no homes that stood out they most likely will not think about it again. However, if you stage a memorable home by adding the unexpected, or something that will make them laugh, smile or even say awwhhh, then you have made the home stand out from the rest. Try it one time and see what happens I bet the home sells faster. Happy Staging!
This is a good example of something unexpected. When buyers walk into the master bathroom and walk up to what they think is just another tub they will see this little element of surprise inside the tub!

Very clever Mannie!
I like adding little touches and elements of surprise, but there is a fine line from it looking too "contrived".
Karen - Thanx!
