Virtual Home Staging

Virtual Home Staging

Staging a home once meant adding accessories, props and even furniture to a home for sale, to create a feeling of warmth and appeal, and make it easier to sell. What is virtual home staging and how is it done? The “after” photos of the home’s interior are created using virtual furniture, wall colors, pictures, window coverings and other décor to help potential buyers visualize a home’s possibilities.

With real home staging, furnishings and draperies need to be purchased, transported and then arranged in the home, in hope that the stager has accurately gauged current decorating trends and design techniques to catch a buyer’s eye. Today, virtual home stagers can embellish empty-room photographs taken and submitted by agents and owners with images of sofas, dining tables, area rugs, draperies and artwork. According to most virtual staging websites, statements of ethics reiterate that the companies will not add non-existent landscaping, wet bars or appliances, or erase power-lines or other detractions from photos. These companies also require customers to tell buyers and agents that the rooms are virtually staged, so a buyer’s expectations are realistic.
