Frequently Asked Questions
What is space planning?
When we discuss space planning with our clients, many of them aren’t sure exactly what we mean, which is normal! Space planning is a term used by designers, architects, and home staging experts to describe the act of analyzing a space and organizing it in such a way which maximizes and elevates every aspect of the room. When a space is effectively planned, it is aesthetically pleasing, functional, and helps a person easily flow from one room to the next.
What value does space planning add?
When a space is planned properly, it can make all the difference for a buyer’s experience in your home. Have you ever been in a room which felt very cluttered? Conversely, a space which is too empty can feel small and cold. An effectively planned space hits the sweet spot between these two extremes: a warm and welcoming space which feels large enough to accommodate a buyer’s lifestyle. If a space is planned with care, a buyer is more likely to fall in love the second they walk in.
How do you properly stage a space?
Since the definition and value of space planning now likely make sense, we will provide some insight into how this works in practice. When we visit a home to create a staging strategy, we take careful measurements, examine the current layout, take in the style of the home, and talk with the current owners. By using this valuable information, we can effectively plan how to stage the space to make it as welcoming and practical as possible.
What does the staging process involve?
As you can likely tell, all of our staging projects have a life of their own and there is no “one size fits all” approach to staging in our opinion. When we have clients who are interested in staging, we start with a consultation to learn their space. From there we craft a plan tailored to their home’s needs, and explain our process. Once they agree on the plan, we execute the staging and work with any interested parties like the homeowner, Realtors, or photographers to ensure the home is as marketable as possible.
