Notes from the Interior Design Summit:
Everything Designers Need to Know about Staging
Here are some notes and ideas from Craig Schiller's class, "Everything Designers Need to Know about Staging"
When staging, designers need to know that the HOUSE is the star. Not the design. Not the designer. The HOUSE.
What designers need to give up is the need to add flair, drama, personality, ego.
What designers need to ADD is speed.
Staging design is disposable, it's quick, it's all about marketing.
