As a realtor and stager, I am often asked "What is the
difference between traditional staging and feng shui staging?”
Traditional staging usually involves, cleaning, decluttering,
neutralizing and positioning the furniture in such a way as to make the home
appear more spacious and appealing to a larger audience. Strong wall colors are
usually toned down, personal items such as pictures and religious symbols are
removed, and collectibles are usually gathered and stored. Often times, stagers
and designers will bring in a new element of design or new furniture.
A good feng shui master will customize a home to the needs of the individual
but I am attempting to generalize some of the concepts that can be effective
in helping a seller market their home. Feng shui staging is more about using
what you have and stimulating each of the five senses in a more positive
direction.
