More Than Just Empty Spaces: Home Staging with Virtual Furnishing

Virtual furnishing is when imagination becomes reality, transforming dull spaces into cozy environments where creativity knows no bounds. Home staging helps showcase the full potential of properties. Furnished rooms appeal to potential buyers on an emotional level more than empty spaces, creating a connection that ideally leads to a sale of the property.

What software is used for virtual home staging? In virtual furnishing, specialized software solutions are used that offer photorealistic 3D visualizations and flexible design options. Users can create floor plans, accurately plan spaces, and adjust lighting to optimize the effect. The programs also support the export of high-quality renderings to create appealing presentations for potential buyers or renters.

Since the real estate market in Switzerland is vast, you need to stand out with your listings. The best way to achieve this is by sparking the curiosity of potential buyers, exciting them, and ensuring you remain memorable.

What is virtual home staging?

Virtual home staging is a technique in which unfurnished properties are digitally furnished with furniture, decorations, and accessories to provide potential buyers or renters with a better impression of the space’s usage. By showcasing a fully furnished property, interested parties can better envision the layout and potential of the property. This can be particularly helpful for empty, renovation-needed, or older properties.

This visualization is done on the computer: First, the property is photographed empty and ideally under optimal lighting conditions. Subsequently, the property photos are digitally edited using modern 3D software to add suitable furniture, wall designs, and decorations. The software allows for realistic placement and orientation of objects within the space. Textures, materials, and lighting can be precisely adjusted, resulting in a realistic overall image.

Virtual furnishing is more cost-effective and flexible than physical staging, as it does not require real furniture and can be easily adjusted as needed. Specialized agencies like Visualista.ch offer home staging on the computer, as well as virtual renovations of outdated furnishings and cluttered spaces.

Areas of application

There are numerous areas of application for virtual interior design. Many properties can be enhanced and brought to life using digital technology. Here is an overview of the types of properties where furnishing or virtual renovation can work wonders:

• Vacant apartments and houses: Properties that are currently unused are brought back to life with virtual home staging. Dull and abandoned spaces shine anew and attract the attention of potential buyers.
• Properties in need of renovation: If a property looks neglected and worn, it will be difficult to sell. Through virtual renovation, cosmetic flaws, damage, and dirt disappear. Potential buyers can then see the property as it allows for its full potential.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• New construction projects: Professional virtual home staging can also serve as a time machine. Newly built or under-construction properties are presented as finished and livable spaces, enticing buyers to want to take a closer look.
• Office and commercial properties: Naturally, it’s not just residential properties that can be enhanced through digital furnishing. Virtual staging also showcases the potential of commercial and office spaces, allowing interested parties to better envision the layout and usage.
