By Tracy McLaughlin
A feeling. A lifestyle. Staging packages a home for potential buyers. It’s a presentation designed to engender an emotional response, somewhat analogous to the way Apple packages the iPhone.
In a cluttered and over-stimulated world, every part of an iPhone’s packaging is carefully conceived to be clean, simple and elegant. From the moment you pull back the little tab to open the outer box until you peel back the plastic that covers the screen, the process is effortless. No cheap cable ties or bubble wrap. Apple boxes have carefully designed cavities to hold the phone and accessories. The unboxing of a product only happens once, but it leaves a lasting impression, enhancing the product.
The same principle holds true in home staging. Stagers use design elements and concepts that elicit an emotional response in buyers so they can envision a home as their own. The sensory experience that’s created in the home and online attracts buyers. Buyers acquire not just the physical property but the idea of the home presented to them.
