As I set out to mentor a good friend of mine who has just entered into the business, I'm constantly reminding her that it's not about the quantity of pieces you bring into the home. With Staging - what matters most is that the right items are chosen and that you create balance in the space your staging.
Case in point.... Here's the "before" picture of a home I staged today.
Here's the same room after it was staged (and yes, I used a flash):
As you can see, there are a total of nine pieces brought into this kitchen. Here's the list: Bowl of green apples; lemon tree, 2 kitchen towels; a set of three canisters (they sit in a tray); cook book, two rosemary plants and a green plaque behind the burners. That's not a significant amount by any means. However, the difference in how the home appears to a buyer can be huge.
As any professional home stager will tell you, it's all about warming up the space such that it creates an inviting home; one they can envision living in.
