DECORATING VERSUS STAGING

Posted By Lydia

Decorating is what makes your house a home.  It is all the personal
souvenirs, treasures, keepsakes, family photos and mementos, all
the things that are special and irreplaceable to you and your family.

Decorating is your favorite colors, style of furniture, pictures and the
accessories that you have personally chosen to bring it all together.

Staging is the opposite, staging or home enhancement involves
removing all those special personal items and packing them away
to have to personalize your new house, so it will become your home.

Staging includes not only depersonalizing, but neutralizing your
house.  Potential buyers coming through your house should not upon
leaving feel like they know you and your family.  Buyers should not
leave knowing your cultural or ethnical heritage, your religion or your
educational of sports accomplishments.

Decorating makes it personal.
Staging removes the personal.
