There are several different career paths to choose from as a designer, and interior decorating and home staging are two of the most common. Because the industry is ever-changing and exciting, interior decorators can actually become certified in other design branches, and can offer a wider range of services<\/a> as a result!\n\nIf you\u2019ve received an interior decorating certificate, you can change directions and become a home stager. Follow the guide below to find out how to move from one rewarding role to another, and why this will make you extremely valuable in the long run.\n

Interior Decorating VS Home Staging<\/h3>\nBefore we jump into how to make the switch from an interior decorator to a home stager, it\u2019s important to know the difference between these two branches of the design industry. If you\u2019ve been working on various interior decorating jobs, you may not be completely familiar with what home stagers do on a daily basis.[\/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″][image_with_animation image_url=”9457″ 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]In brief, your job as decorator is focused on the look and feel of a room, and your expertise is sought out by clients who need help choosing color schemes and placing furniture in ways that reflect their unique personalities. A common theme you\u2019ve likely noticed in your career is that your clients are overwhelmed \u2013 they think that a complete overhaul of their home is required, when in reality all they need is an interior decorator to understand their needs and make specific changes in their space.\n\nHome stagers, on the other hand, are sought after by clients selling their homes. They need an expert to determine their home\u2019s best features, highlight them, and sell the house quickly for the best market price. One important fact to note about home staging is that it is a vital service in high demand. Think of the trust that a client places in a professional home stager \u2013 they\u2019re expecting a lot when it comes down to the bottom line.\n\nBecause home staging is such a popular service, it would naturally follow that interior decorators add it to their list. Or, in the case of this article, switch entirely from decorating to staging homes\u2026\n

Home staging training<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re a busy interior decorator, we don\u2019t have to tell you how hard it can be to make time for training. Especially to pursue a home staging certification! While it won\u2019t be easy no matter which training option you choose, an online home staging certification is a great<\/em> option for interior decorators who have already established themselves and are actively building their careers.[\/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″][image_with_animation image_url=”9458″ 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]In order to be successful staging homes, there\u2019s no getting around proper training \u2013 you\u2019ll need to know how to depersonalize, declutter, and create curb appeal for your clients\u2019 homes, and all of these skills are taught in a\u00a0home staging class<\/a>. Just as you trained to become an interior decorator, you\u2019ll need to put in the time to obtain your home staging certification.\n\nDon\u2019t be fooled, however \u2013 there aren\u2019t many similarities when it comes to training as a decorator and training as a home stager. In your staging courses, you\u2019ll focus on depersonalizing, decluttering, redesign, creating curb appeal, and the basics of real estate, and you\u2019ll learn how to deal with different client personalities<\/a>. This is quite a different experience than your training as an interior decorator, but that\u2019s fine!\n\nWith a home staging AND interior decorating certificates, you\u2019ll be well on your way to making the switch from decorator to stager. But this is only step one, so stay tuned\u2026\n

Your home design portfolio<\/h3>\nIf you think that having two certifications under your belt is all you need to switch from decorating to staging, it\u2019s time for a reality check. Don\u2019t get us wrong \u2013 showing that you\u2019ve been professionally trained in both branches of the design industry is excellent, and will impress both employers and clients.\n\nHowever, you\u2019ll need to take things even further.[\/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″][image_with_animation image_url=”9459″ 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\nAgain, the design industry is known for being dynamic and competitive. It\u2019s also known for being extremely visual<\/em>. No matter how strong your resume is, most homeowners won\u2019t give you the time of the day if you don\u2019t have a\u00a0professional design portfolio<\/a> on hand. Think of it as a visual showcase of what you can do!\n\nWe know what you\u2019re thinking \u2013 how can you possibly create a design portfolio as a home stager if you haven\u2019t worked on any staging projects? There are a few ways to build up your portfolio even though you have limited staging experience! One way is to stage some rooms in your own home, like basement wreck rooms and cluttered bedrooms, or even staging a friend\u2019s house.\n\nTake clear and professional before and after shots of your work, and document your planning and inspiration for the designs. Include the assignments you worked on in your home staging class \u2013 you worked hard to get that certification, so why not show potential clients what you\u2019re capable of? You may not have staged for homeowners just yet, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not equipped to carry out excellent staging projects.\n\nLet your home design portfolio do the talking, and be sure to include your best work!\n

Make the switch<\/h3>\nAt the end of the day, you want to move from decorating to home staging. With the necessary certifications and an impressive portfolio in hand, you\u2019ll be ready to do just that!\n\nWhen it comes to actually making the switch, it\u2019s essential to know exactly what to expect in your new role as a home stager. And don\u2019t worry \u2013 your home staging training will provide you with that. However, you\u2019re moving away from your day-to-day duties as an interior decorator, and it will take time to adjust to a role that is much more focused on preparing a home for sale rather than transforming it to meet your client\u2019s needs.\n\nBe patient with yourself (and with your career) as you transition into your new role. Take time to decide on your brand and understand the real estate market<\/a>, but be careful not to isolate yourself in the process! You\u2019ll really need to get out there and network, and we recommend seeking out open houses, networking events, mailing lists and trade shows which will open you up to other professionals in your area. Make important connections and learn from others who are already in the staging industry!\n\nCheck out\u00a0our full guide<\/a> on where to start with your home staging business.\n\nFinally, don\u2019t ever underestimate the fact that you\u2019re certified as both an interior decorator and a home stager \u2013 you may choose to stage homes as your career, but you can always keep learning in years to come and add more to your repertoire as a designer. It\u2019s a thriving industry to grow and advance your career in, so don\u2019t be afraid to branch out to other specializations!\n
