| Most people would be distracted by a deer antler towel rack, a wagon wheel coffee table, or an octopus candelabra. It’s almost as uncomfortable as walking into your hotel room and seeing a personal item left from the previous guest. |
But de-personalizing when preparing a home for sale doesn’t mean eliminating all vestiges of life. There have been times where I have walked into a seller’s home where they have stripped shelves bare, rolled up rugs, and packed up their books; the home looking like movers are arriving any minute. #1 difference between designing an interior and staging is intention. Design is intended to reflect the style of the homeowner and is completely subjective, while staging is objective and intended to highlight architectural focal points of the home (among others), as well as creating a lifestyle experience for buyers to emotionally attach and make an offer. The priorities are very different. The goal is to make the home look and feel as if all the buyer has to do is unpack their bags.
