In the art of home staging, understanding the distinct nuances between preparing a space for photography and for in-person showings is key. While both aim to showcase the property in its best light, the techniques and focuses differ significantly. At Pathlight Design, we have honed the craft of staging that appeals both to the camera lens and the human eye, ensuring that properties are captivating, no matter the medium through which they are viewed.

Techniques for Photographic Staging

When staging for photographs, the emphasis is on creating visually stunning images that grab attention in listings. Here, the details are paramount:

• Lighting: We utilize lighting techniques that highlight the space's best features, ensuring rooms look bright and inviting.

• Composition: Furnishings and decor are arranged to create balanced, photogenic scenes. This often means positioning items specifically for the camera’s perspective.

• Colour and Contrast: We pay special attention to colour schemes and contrasts that pop in photos, making the images vibrant and eye-catching.

Elements that Shine in In-Person Showings

In-person showings require a different approach, focusing on creating an experience:

• Flow and Space: We ensure there is a natural flow through the home, allowing potential buyers to move easily from room to room.

• Sensory Appeal: Touch, scent, and sound are taken into consideration, making the space feel warm and welcoming.

• Detailing: Small, neutral details like plush towels in the bathroom or a bowl of fresh fruit in the kitchen can make the space feel livable.

Conclusion

Pathlight Design's expertise in both photographic and in-person staging ensures that properties are not just seen but are experienced. Our dual approach guarantees that homes are presented in the best possible light, both online and offline, attracting a wider range of potential buyers and facilitating successful sales.
