Luxury Home Staging Secrets
Staging any home requires creativity, design sense, and knowledge of trends in design and real estate. Staging luxury homes requires even greater skill and finesse in order to be effective. At Virtually Staging Properties, we stage homes of all shapes and sizes throughout the Metro-Atlanta area. Our team of designers and real estate professionals knows well the process of staging luxury homes, and works hard to stay current in design and market trends.
When staging a luxury home, it is important to consider the target market, which is very competitive and consistently evolving as buyer preferences change. To be effective in luxury home staging, you have to understand these elements and be able to stretch your creative muscle when needed.
3 Luxury Home Staging Secrets Revealed
In March, lifestyle blog “Previews Inside Out” published an article about luxury home staging, with comments and tricks of the trade offered by home staging specialists. The interviews conducted culminated into three primary secrets that luxury home stagers should remember, and we at Virtually Staging Properties agree. These three secrets are:
- Start with a Vision: Staging a luxury home begins with crafting a vision for the finished product. Consider who the buyer is, what their lifestyle may be, where do they spend the most time in the home, and what are their aspirations? When staging, you want to maximize the features of the home to help potential buyers imagine themselves utilizing the space, entertaining family and friends, and customizing the home to suit their lifestyle.
- Make Luxury Meet Livability: There is a delicate balance between elegance and comfort when staging a luxury home. Yes, you want the potential buyer to be immediately inspired by what they see, but you also want them to see a space that is livable, functional, and comfortable. The goal of home staging is to help potential buyers imagine themselves living there, so a fine balance is crucial.
- Do Not Take it Personally: When staging a luxury home, the goal is to reach the largest number of potential buyers in the market. Try to avoid staging a home based on the personal preferences of a seller, and rather focus on the vision of the home as defined by the target market and largest concentration of potential buyers.
The professionals at Virtually Staging Properties agree with these three secrets of luxury home staging. We also have a few secrets of our own, such as our patent-pending virtual staging process, which puts staging a home at the fingertips of our trained graphics designers, in collaboration with our home stagers and real estate professionals. Our Virtual Staging services can digitally bring life to any room or home without the constraints of our clients having to buy or rent furniture, or hire movers. With virtual staging, clients have the freedom to collaborate, customize, and carefully target the widest range of potential buyers possible.
