The main audience of any professional home staging plan is, of course, the potential home buyers. These prospective buyers are looking into moving to your neighborhood and finding their own idea of home in your location. It should always be kept in mind that while it is literally impossible to please everyone with your home staging efforts, there is an ambiance or look that appeals to the broadest target market of buyers that your property is most likely to attract.
Trends in home design and staging are changing almost every year, so keeping yourself aware of the latest innovations and trends can help you put together a staging strategy that would be most effective for the type of clientele you are wanting to reach out to. Here are some current design trends that are popular among interior design specialists and professional home stagers.
Smart homes and automated controls. Consumers are looking for the home of the future which can be controlled, monitored, and systemized using technology and automated settings. High-tech automated systems for controlling electricity, lighting, temperature, security, and more are increasingly affordable for homeowners. If you have these systems installed in your home already, ensure they are working properly and emphasized during house showings.
Kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms outdoors. Homeowners are preferential to wide open spaces for outdoor entertaining and hanging out. Outdoor kitchen areas can be just a BBQ grill or as complex as a complete cooking station with a sink, storage, oven, and countertops.
Home theaters and entertainment centers. Families are travelling less in order to save money, and are choosing staycations and home theaters to entertain themselves. Home theater systems, plush seating, state-of-the-art sound systems, and a comfortable, homey media center feel are very attractive to many home buyers. You do not have to spend too much on a home entertainment system; just recreating the "look" or using props can usually complete the idea effectively.
Multipurpose or dual-use furniture. Today's consumers are gravitating towards cost-effective furnishings and home accessories. Furniture items that have both form and function are very popular and also save space, and they are particularly effective for staging smaller spaces such as apartments, townhouses, and condos.
Sustainable and earth-friendly. The focus on environment-friendly and energy-efficient home accessories and designs is very high among home buyers. Select toilets and sinks with low-water level use, or insulation and air conditioning systems that are more efficient and save energy. Even paint and flooring products and installations can be greener and more earth-friendly.
