If you want to do any of these home changes,
explore the differences between these three
interior design practices:
Redesign, Home
Staging, and Design Psychology Differences
By Jeanette Joy Fisher
Redesign for Home Decoration
Redesign experts reinterpret your home's
living spaces and existing home furnishings to
take advantage of what you already have. Although
some redesigners may be trained interior
designers, professional redesign services
typically charge less than interior designers. You
can redesign your home for yourself to enjoy
living in or to prepare your home for a faster and
more profitable sale.
The redesign phase of preparing a home to sell
includes, deep cleaning, decluttering, painting,
and some remodeling. Redesigners use your home
furnishings in new ways. Redesigners remove extra
furnishings in your home's spaces and move
furniture and accessories around to to appeal to a
home buyer's viewpoint.
Home Staging for Faster Sales
Home stagers set up your home like an
imaginary home setting to appeal to a broader
market. Home stagers make your home look like the
model homes buyers look at and dream about.
(Buyers often select a resale home instead of a
new home because of pricing and quicker
possession.) Often, home stagers furnish vacant
houses to help buyers envision the property as
their new home.
Design Psychology for Happiness
The Design Psychology difference in a
home makeover includes a design plan based on your
individual emotional needs. You can use interior
design psychology to:
- Change a room to give you emotional support
for happiness.
- Increase organization and use design details
to promote productivity.
- Redesign rooms to encourage healthy living
practices for wellness.
Design Psychology for Higher Sales Profits
Our Design Psychology difference between the
typical redesign and home staging services:
- We profile the target market, make redesign
changes to the property to attract a specific
buyer, and stage the home with suggested
activities to create a buyer's "dream home."
- We use interior design psychology ideas to
get the designer's look for less money. For
instance, instead of an ordinary $79 window
covering rod, we spray paint a $10 PVC pipe to
look like wood or Verdi Gris copper to look like
a $200 designer hardware.
Home buyers think they choose a home based on
financial smarts, but most buyers choose the home
they fall in love with and just can't live
without. All buyers want a home that suits their
needs and makes them feel a sense of happiness. We
purposefully choose interior design elements that
we know our buyers prefer, such as colors,
patterns, textures, and building materials.
After the redesign phase, we add a few carefully
selected props to encourage the target buyers'
desired emotions, paying special attention to
feelings of happiness, joy, serenity, and
security. You'll sell your home more quickly if
you pay close attention to the small details.
Selling your home is largely a matter of keeping
your potential buyers in mind. The emotional needs
of various types of buyers are different. For
instance, first-time buyers want shelter and
security, while moving-up buyers desire more
space, prestige, and peace.
