The terms HOME STAGING and PHOTO STYLING both involve marketing a home for sale and making it look enticing, but they serve two entirely different purposes.
| Home Staging is Designed for Showings |
Home staging is all about creating a welcoming atmosphere for buyers at open houses or showings
The goal is to help buyers envision themselves living happily in the home
When a professional stager decorates a home they consider the flow of traffic from room to room, the scale of the furniture, and the overall vibe of the house.
Some realtors and stagers follow the 3 C's- Completely Clear Countertops.
Home staging is the art of decorating a house to feel like a dream home when home shoppers tour the house
| The Art of Photo Styling |
Photo styling is entirely about the final pictures. The goal is to tell a story and create an emotional connection between the buyer and the home.
