Home staging i.e. staging the house, ensuring that, thanks to this technique that combines skills of interior design to marketing ones, the property appears more attractive for purchase.
A true discipline, that of theHome Stagingoriginated in the United States in the 1980s, and has become a new trend in Italy: architects, designers and real estate agents are resorting to home staging for their professional activities, especially a discipline that can ideally address the crisis of the property market more and more incessant.
But what are the home staging tricks? What aspects does a home stager professional must take into account in order to reach the target?
It must be known that sometimes simple bathroom renovations or changing the arrangement of furniture in the home can be very useful and sufficient to make a property more attractive in the eyes of a prospective buyer.
The tricks for perfect home staging.
1. Space and Order.
To make a room more attractive, the first thing to take care of is its appearance: the property must be spacious and uncluttered. And this means that rooms must not be suffocated by too much furniture and this must be as linear, minimal, simple as possible, becoming a detail that emphasises brightness. It is also better to opt for light-coloured furniture and, as far as furnishing accessories are concerned, they must be arranged in an orderly and sober manner. Forbidden to be heavy, in short.
2. Colour.
Colour is indeed a very powerful weapon in thehome staging. The skilful and calibrated use of the various shades and their combinations succeeds in giving the right depth to rooms, changing the perception of spaces, making them larger, brighter, more welcoming.
3. Light.
Doors, windows and balconies must be emphasised, because light is one of the decisive factors in the sale of a property. Therefore, the choice of blinds must also be carefully considered in detail, because they are not a mere decorative affectation, but an element that can emphasise or obliterate the brightness of a space.
4. The textile elements.
These determine whether a room is more or less homely: the number, colour, type, style are elements to be considered first for a home stager.
