In this session, Emmy award-winning interior designer and stager Cathy Hobbs takes stagers on a deep dive into how to use interior design principles in home staging to create stunning, buyer-ready homes.

Drawing from her book, Home Design Recipes, Cathy will explore how staging differs from interior design and how stagers can leverage trends without over-personalizing. She will also break down room-by-room strategies for maximizing marketability, addressing common mistakes, and applying a “recipe” approach to staging success.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to blend style with strategy, implement trend-aware yet timeless staging, and refine their approach for higher-impact results.

• Understand the fundamental differences between home staging and interior design.
