31 Days to Sell Your Home: Day 22 – Stage to Show, Not to Live
🛋️ Stage to Show, Not to Live
Your space works great for you. But you’re not the one buying it.
Staging isn’t about style — it’s about strategy. The way you live in a home is different from the way you sell it. And right now, we’re selling.
Why It Matters
Most buyers can’t visualize potential — they need to be shown. A cramped room with a huge sectional says “small.” A room with a sleek loveseat and open space says “airy and flexible.”
Buyers are looking at layout, light, and possibility — not your TV angle or favorite reading chair.
What to Shift
- Pull furniture off the walls to create walking space
- Remove oversized or excess pieces to open up rooms
- Use neutral colors and textures to appeal to the most buyers
- Rearrange seating to highlight focal points — not the TV
- Keep surfaces clear and minimal
Think “model home,” not “real life.”
👉 One Action to Take Today:
Pick one room and ask:
If I were staging this for a photo shoot, what would I move or remove?
Then do it.
