What is the Difference Between Home Staging and Home Decorating?
The goal of home staging is to sell a home quickly and for the most money possible by making a home appeal to the highest number of potential buyers. Staging focuses on improving a property to transform it into a welcoming, appealing and attractive product for sale. Staging raises the value of a property by way of reducing the home's flaws, depersonalizing, decluttering, cleaning, improving condition, and landscaping. But don't make the mistake that the home should look sterile.
A decorated room might have a chair with a side table. An ottoman to put up your feet. A lamp, TV, channel changer, books, magazines on the table. The chair might have decorative pillows and the ottoman might have a throw tossed across it. A few pens and personal items might also be on the side table.
A staged room would have the chair, table and ottoman. The lamp would stay. The throw on the ottoman would be in place. Most everything else would be removed. A few current books would be on the side table with a pair of glasses.
An over-staged room would have the books, glasses and throw removed.

Here is the difference between a staged room and a decorated room:
- A staged room looks like "I could imagine living in your room."
- A decorated room looks like "You live in your room."
- An over-staged room looks like no one lives in that room.
