Home Staging Evolves<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the age of HGTV, real estate professionals say home staging is growing in importance and becoming more sophisticated, according to a recent article in The New York Times, which highlighted the value of home staging.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt always makes a difference, and is essential in this market,\u201d says Richard Balzano, an associate broker at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Balzano says he frequently refers his clients to stagers and will often pay for the preliminary consultations.<\/p>\n

Stagers are taking on full transformations of homes that show off contemporary design and offer an aspirational package, The New York Times reports.\u00a0Today\u2019s home buyers want \u201csheer or linen curtains, and they don\u2019t want the home packed. They want a cleaner, simpler lifestyle. And more flair and fun,\u201d says Meredith Baer, a Los Angeles-based home stager. She and her team recently transformed a formal dining room into a casual family room, painted the walls (from cream walls to all white), and brought in white sofas and chairs with clean lines.<\/p>\n

Sid Pinkerton, owner of Manhattan Staging, says he\u2019s doing more accent walls, such as individual panels\u00a0in dark brown lacquer, bursts of coral or aqua paint and patterned wallpaper with a rainbow of color.\u00a0\u201cPeople are looking for more personality,\u201d Pinkerton told The New York Times. \u201cIt used to be more innocuous, where you didn\u2019t really want to convey a sense of style. Now, it\u2019s gotten a lot more modern.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some stagers are also adding more personal photographs, no longer advising clients to rid the home of all photos.\u00a0\u201cIf a photo shows the family on vacation, maybe someplace warm and nice, that ties into a lifestyle a buyer might want to emulate,\u201d says Donna Dazzo, the president of Designed to Appeal.<\/p>\n

But stagers also try to keep it real.\u00a0\u201cWhen I see a tray on a bed, with a coffee cup, I think, \u2018Oh, come on,\u2019\u00a0\u201d says Anne Kenney, the president of Anne Kenney Associates, a New York staging company. \u201cDoes anybody really live that way? Today\u2019s buyer is more sophisticated, so they don\u2019t want to see phony.\u201d<\/p>\n
