What Is Model Home Merchandising?

Model home merchandising is a research-based method of interior design by which a specialized designer combines aesthetic elements, technology, buyer demographics, and psychographics to create a buyer-centric, sales-targeted model home interior design with model home furnishings to enhance builder sales.

This marketing-focused design is not just integrated into model homes, but also sales centers, community amenity areas, and clubhouses.

Model Home Interiors as an Art

Model home merchandising accounts for elements such as traffic/walking patterns, room designations, brand colors, model home furnishings and material selections, along with “memory points” all in thoughtful consideration. Each is artistically and masterfully integrated into the model home interior design to in a way to best attract and sell potential buyers.

Model Home Merchandising as Innovative as it is Imaginative

A model home merchandising designer skillfully crafts “a-day-in-the-life” environment. Accomplished correctly, model home merchandising invites prospective families to step into a welcoming experience previewing a lifestyle and atmosphere they don’t want to miss.
