If you are gifted with an eye for design but you don’t have the money to start your own business, or you do not have the required degree to facilitate a career in designing, you might want to start a Home Staging business instead. Home Staging is close to interior designing except that stagers design homes so that they will be sold easily. The main goal of stagers is to improve the chances of a home to be bought quickly by making the home presentable inside and out.

Starting a Home Staging business will not require you a lot of money to start-up. You may have to spend sufficient funds for your initial materials but rest assured that you will make more money than you spend. You can then use your first Home Staging pay for subsequent staging jobs. You can either charge by the hour or per day; it is all up to you. You are in control of how much you earn from a project plus, you control your own time as well.

This is NOT a Home Staging Course but is intended as a brief overview of “some” of the subjects covered in Home Staging Courses that should be considered when preparing a house for sale.

Clean-up the clutter: Start by removing the clutter in the house. Small knick-knacks, collectibles, excess toys, and miscellaneous papers should all be removed before showing the house to buyers. Removing clutter will instantly increase the visual size of your room.

Clean-up the house: You are in competition with many other houses as well as new construction homes. You need to make the house feel as fresh as possible by thoroughly cleaning everything from light fixtures to baseboards. (Obviously you can hire somebody to do this) This will help to eliminate any odors left by pets, smoking, or cooking.

Arrange Furniture: Furniture layout determines the visual size and “flow” of the room. Take note of how the furniture is placed in the house. Is there a focal point in each room? Are there easy pathways around the furniture? If the house is vacant you can rent furniture for temporary display purposes.

Color Choices: Freshen up outdated or dirty walls with a new coat of paint. Painting is the least expensive way to update a room. Consider soft, neutral colors that appeal to a broad range of buyers while avoiding stark white or paint that is too bright. Choose wisely, wall color sets the atmosphere in a room.
