A Brief Look At Interior Design Staging

Interior design staging is the practice of preparing the inside of a home for showcasing to potential buyers. Although related, interior redesign is quite different than interior decorating. With interior redesign, you are creating a neutral yet beautiful canvas on which possible homebuyers can paint their idea of what home should look like. Just don't confuse neutral with cold. If a home is too monotone, too sparse it can appear unwelcoming.

There are easy ways to fix this. Adorn a neutral couch with a few luxurious throw pillows and toss a plush flokati rug in front of the fireplace. Burn scented candles for ambiance and don't underestimate the careful placement of an art object or wall hanging. If you want to add touches of color choose soothing shades of sage green, ocean blue or soft rose here and there. And don't underestimate the power of color on the human psyche. For example, warm pink and peach colors are thought to encourage romance in the bedroom. It's said you should never use blue plates because they make the food placed on them look less appealing. Color is a powerful force that affects the mind.

Now that you know what you might want to add to the scene, let's talk about what needs to be left out. Clutter is the number one enemy of the homeseller. Remove all personal knicknacks and toiletries; even family photos should be taken down. The home should appear unlived in. This is the opposite of what an interior decorator does. But the end result is a more lucrative selling opportunity. This is why home sellers and real estate agents seek out the services of staging professionals.

If you believe interior design staging is the career for you, there are plenty of distance learning schools online where you can earn your certification. There are also a few traditional style schools that teach interior redesign and related arts like traditional home decorating and interior design. You should also market your services in way that relates to your location. If you're in a big city, you might find success opening your own staging business. A small town stager could be successful as a consultant to private clients and Realtors. There are various opportunities for people in the home staging business.
