First, let me introduce myself.
I am Noreen and I'm a Trained Professional Organizer with the Professional Organizers in Canada (POC) and Owner of Organize My Space Calgary.
My specialties are home decluttering, home and office organizing, styling/staging and productivity coaching for professionals and small business owners.
My passion is to help you transform your home and work spaces to give you the freedom and enjoyment you deserve.
The following Home Styling & Staging Basics guide is going to make your styling or staging project so much more simple and informed once you start working through it.
Home Styling & Staging Basics
Live well.
When you experience a beautifully styled home after organizing this is the cherry on top! Imagine a world where your spaces are calm, relaxing, functional and you love the freedom in your life.
Thoughtful decor and clutter-free spaces allow this vision to be your reality. My "north star" is to help you uncover exactly what this means for you.
The principles of styling your home versus staging to sell are quite opposite. Styling your home focuses on:
- Your personality, taste or style
- Says something about you
- Personal
- Enhances function
- Matches your lifestyle
Sell wisely.
The basic steps to stage your home are the same as styling however, the principles behind staging to sell your home are quite different.
- Focus on the potential home buyer
- Declutter, declutter, declutter
- Impersonal
- Enhance features
- Not taste specific

85% OF STAGED HOMES SELL FOR 6-25% MORE THAN UN-STAGED HOMES!
