Vacant Staging by The Inviting Home – Photo by Eloise & Peas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Staging a vacant home is nuanced. There are decisions to make regarding which <\/em>rooms to stage (only main living spaces?), how<\/em> to stage them (as a bedroom or an office?), and what<\/em> to stage them with (current homeowner furniture, thrifted pieces, new?)\u2026 and regardless of how you answer the first 3 questions, \u00a0there\u2019s one key that will make each space amazing\u2026 and that is STYLE! \u00a0Staging a vacant home is about creating an emotional connection between potential buyers and the property\u2026 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<\/em> helps to elevate the property, making it stand out and appealing to potential buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about purchases you\u2019ve been influenced to make because they were styled (marketed) well. Imagine a beautiful dress just hanging on a rack\u2026 verses staging the dress on a model with appropriate accessories! Style sells!! Style is pretty\u2026 and we all want it. It can<\/em> be the reason someone wants your home!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However you stage\u2026 think about styling. Make it attractive, and the people will come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
