You never know which way the market will swing. But when you have professional training, the whole process gets easier. Believe it or not, knowing the basic principles of interior decorating can help you predict which trends are here to stay. It also helps you spot the so-called trends ahead so you don\u2019t waste your time stocking items that fall out of favor quickly.\n\nEven if you\u2019ve never taken a staging course before, you may want to. Here\u2019s how a professional home staging certification course will teach you to spot the right<\/em> trends![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

Will it be widely appealing?<\/h3>\nTo make a home look appealing is the whole point of staging a home in the first place! If you can\u2019t make a home appeal to the taste of as many potential buyers as possible, then you aren\u2019t doing your job. You need to make the space functional, cozy,\u00a0and unisex. A trend shouldn\u2019t diminish the value of the space.\n\nWhen most people incorporate trends into their decor, they do it to reflect personal taste. They are personalizing their home to suit themselves, but home staging is all about depersonalizing<\/a>. Removing all sentimental elements in a home and decorating\/styling a space to make it appear like the perfect blank slate. To make a space look stylish AND like a blank slate for whatever the new homeowner wants to do sounds like opposing ideas. That\u2019s why people need an expert for the job![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”13165″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

How versatile is the trend?<\/h3>\nTo highlight an asset of a specific home, you will want to switch up your decorating style<\/a>. If you\u2019re decorating a rural home built like a barn, does it really make sense to use black and silver as dominant colors in sleek materials? The point is to sell the assets of a home! Even if something is trending, doesn\u2019t mean it works for every context. Your course teaches you how to sell a home\u2019s architectural features, the values of the community, and a particular kind of lifestyle\u2014all using decor.\n\nTake a look at the common types of clients who approach you. If you choose to hold your own stock<\/a>, you\u2019ll slowly gather pieces that can be universally used. Does a particular trendy piece of art make sense with the rest of your inventory? Can you use it on the same types of homes you\u2019ve been working on? Or, if you love tackling different types of properties and decorating styles, what sorts of spaces is it best suited for? Be realistic with yourself. You\u2019ll be able to evaluate whether it\u2019s worth your time and money investing in a piece.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”13166″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

How do you know which trends aren\u2019t going anywhere?<\/h3>\nMany designers flock to the world\u2019s best home designers to see where decorating trends are headed. Some trends are super volatile\u2014in one day, out the next. But other trends have longer staying power. In choosing the right trends to pledge allegiance to, study past and current trends. You may find some commonalities between them that can help you forecast future trends!\n\nLet\u2019s take the example of the eco trend. Green d\u00e9cor is not only pleasing to the eye, it\u2019s also good for your health! It helps brighten up any sterilized space and adds life to any room. The green color associated with plants also has a positive effect on psychology. Because of its strong associations with growth, spring, and nature, green fosters feelings of balance, calmness, and support. It is thematically perfectly suited for buyers who envision a new beginning with the purchase of a new home.\n\nTo predict a trend\u2019s longevity, look at how many different industries are incorporating it. Makeup, fashion, interior decorating, art, retail, etc.\u2014the more places you can find traces of it, the more it\u2019s likely to stay relevant for a while. It\u2019s all about doing your research. Don\u2019t only take your own personal tastes into account. Just because you like something doesn\u2019t mean others will. But if you see it everywhere, chances are there\u2019s an audience out there who loves it. If most people don\u2019t like something, another trend will rise to take its place.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”13167″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

Study competitors<\/h3>\nUnless you\u2019re a home staging hot shot, chances are you\u2019re following trends and adding some<\/em> stylistic flair. You aren\u2019t the one making the rules. Trusted authorities in the decorating and staging world along with designers call the shots. As such, if you don\u2019t look towards others in the industry, you\u2019ll be lost!\n\nBut there\u2019s one more thing to consider. Just because staging can be a little more avant-garde in places like New York City, doesn\u2019t mean the same boldness exist in Charleston! To see just what trends actually get a chance in the spotlight, look at your local industry competitors.\n\nStudy their portfolios, see their work, and consult a few real estate agents! Home Stagers should always be keeping their portfolios fresh and update to date. You\u2019ll be able to see how they\u2019ve made use of any trends. You may also be able to find the length of time it took for the home to sell after their staging work. When trends work for the current market, they can help you sell a space.\n\nThe most important thing to remember is that you\u2019re trying to sell a home and the imagined lifestyle with it. If a style is too out there\u2014a giant cow sculpture\u2014you can only appeal to a small niche audience. Consider your course materials. They\u2019ll give you a good idea of what can work and what absolutely cannot.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”50″][image_with_animation image_url=”13168″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]Have some tips you\u2019d like to share with your fellow home stagers?
