A potential buyer makes up his or her mind about a house in the first 30-60 seconds upon entering the house. It is an emotional reaction and decision. Their remaining time in the house is spent justifying that initial emotional reaction.
Given how quickly the entry area sparks a decision by the potential buyer, an entry should ALWAYS be staged.
Some entry rooms are grand, spacious and make my job of creating an emotional reaction easy. But, sometimes an entry is no more than a hallway leading to other areas and that makes the task more demanding. Regardless of the size and space, I still take the opportunity to create a dramatic entry into this house.
Today we feature examples of dramatic entry room transformations.
Glynnwood II – Before staging, this entry was good sized but underwhelming in the décor. I wanted this area to set the stage for the rest of the house. I used a rug, table, lamp and traditional accessories to create a feeling of graciousness that follows into the rest of the house.
Boardwalk - Before staging, this entry had a narrow feel with too many small things that were not impressive or noteworthy. Even though this entry is more like a hallway, I used a large grand painting and larger scaled floral to make this small entry look and feel sophisticated and impressive.
Check out our Transitions website for more vivid examples of how professional home staging transformed entry rooms and areas (http://www.transitions-home-staging.com/Entry-Ways-I.html).
The professionally staged home speaks to the potential buyer - “Enter, if you please! Imagine your best self in this house. Envision living the next chapter of your life adventure in this inviting home.”
With a professionally staged home, one can imagine that anything is possible.
Dwell in possibilities
