Home staging refers to improving the condition
and appearance of a home in order to make it easier to sell and
includes decluttering, cleaning, landscaping and perhaps more. Although
home staging has been around since about 1970 it has now become
popular not only with real estate agents but also with interior
decorators, people wanting a home-based business and some people
have taken to a “do-it-yourself” home staging.
How Home Staging Works
Before putting a home on the market the owner or agent may choose
to do home staging to make it easier to sell. They can either choose
to do this themselves or get someone else in to do it for them.
The aim of home staging is to create an environment in which people
visiting the home can see themselves living and as an environment
which they will feel comfortable in. This means that the home needs
to be de-cluttered, cleaned, depersonalized, and perhaps the condition
of some items will need to be improved before making the sale.
The History of Home Staging
Estate agents have been using home staging since the 1970’s
to improve the value of a home before selling it, but it is honestly
recently (since about the 1990’s) that others have been getting
involved in home staging. Today you can choose to do home staging
yourself, get an interior decorator or designer in to do it for
you, or your real estate agent may do it for you.
