Rather than working with a personal style, it\u2019s about reaching a broader audience with your designs. Trends and careful home planning can help create a dream home for any potential buyer!\n\nMaking different types of people all feel comfortable in a home can be challenging, but with these 5 tips from an online home staging course, you\u2019ll be bringing in buyers from all over!\n<h3>Matching types of colors<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3058\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Color-theory-for-home-decorators.jpg\" alt=\"Color theory lessons from online home staging courses\">\n\nUsing color schemes is undoubtedly the biggest task for home decorators and stagers alike, so it\u2019s important for design professionals to know&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/01\/color-guide-the-most-popular-paint-colors-by-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which colors will work in each room<\/a>. It\u2019s also an essential skill for home designers to know which colors work together. This is the key to tapping into your buyer\u2019s emotions!\n\nAs a home stager, you\u2019ll be trained on the types of colors you can use. This might sound strange, but it\u2019s not a basic guide to the color wheel! You\u2019ll learn variations of colors like hues, tints, tones and shades. They all work together to make a room feel dimensional!\n<h3>Using psychology<\/h3>\nThe second aspect of choosing the right color scheme is working with the feelings associated with each one. It\u2019s not just a dark vs. light scenario \u2013 you can combine colors to build an atmosphere in each room. Plus, you can plan which moods you want to create for each type of room.\n\nFor example, the bathroom should give off a clean and relaxed vibe whereas the kitchen should feel energetic and healthy.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/online-courses\/home-staging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your home staging class<\/a>&nbsp;will train you in color theory and psychology. This will help your clients get that buyer on board by creating a liveable and fluid space!\n<h3>Creating a style<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3057\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/styles-for-home-staging.jpg\" alt=\"Contemporary home staging style and home decoration\">\n\nNo, we\u2019re not talking about your style, or even your client\u2019s style! What we\u2019re talking about here is knowing different room styles and assessing which one works where.\n\nYou\u2019ll need to consider where each style works within the home, and how to make different styles flow together. Plus, there\u2019s a connection between the choice of home style and the type of buyers you\u2019ll be attracting. Working in an upscale neighborhood? You\u2019ll most likely be using formal or contemporary styles to stage the home.\n\nThe most important part of learning the different styles is learning&nbsp;<em>how&nbsp;<\/em>they affect the atmosphere of the house and the overall impression on potential buyers. Use the right style and bids will be flooding in!\n<h3>Adding a garden<\/h3>\nOkay, so this is quite an obvious part of home staging. Curb appeal has a huge impact on the impression of a home. Buyers want their house to be the best on the block, and they won\u2019t trust an unkempt front fa\u00e7ade!\n\nSo, in addition to painting and cleaning the lawn, you should consider adding a garden to jazz up the yard. In the front lawn, a small garden and pathway can be inviting to buyers and make the house feel fresh and lively. In the backyard, having a garden creates a sort of oasis on the property.\n\nShow your buyers the property\u2019s potential by planting a garden, adding a pond, or placing stepping stones. And don\u2019t worry \u2013 you actually learn how to create gardens in your home staging course!\n\nCool, huh?\n<h3>Planning and placing<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3056\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Home-stager-planning.jpg\" alt=\"Home stager floorplans and furniture placement\">\n\nArranging furniture is no easy feat \u2013 especially when you\u2019re faced with a small room or a client who\u2019s unwilling to get rid of old couches! In a home staging class, you actually learn how to work with these types of rooms (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/09\/ready-deal-5-home-staging-clients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">and clients<\/a>) to optimize space.\n\nFloor planning can take time, but once you know the ins-and-outs of how and where to create space, you\u2019ll be flying through designs! Measurements, angles, and features of each building will determine how you plan out each room. Only a true home stager will know how to work with challenging dimensions!\n\nThat being said, proper training literally shows you how to do it! Yes, it takes practice and experience (you\u2019ll learn as you grow!) but you can get industry tips and tricks right off the bat. So, why not make your job easier?\n<h3 align=\"center\"><em>New to the home decorating industry?
