I also recommend going into Stagers Connect to see and share a ton of photos of stagers work. I also share a lot of stagers photos on my blog, so click here to see those stories.
Emotional Connection Examples:

The key to getting these emotional connections right is to make sure it corresponds to the LUXURY level of the home. Don't put a bed tray on a twin bed in a plain jane house (not luxury). Don't set the dining table in a plain jane house with crystal/china if the table itself is not luxury. Match luxury with luxury.
This is clearly a luxury master bathroom, so a getting the buyer to imagine sitting next to the bath and having a drink or getting out of the bath and wrapping a fur throw around you is quite luxurious.
Likewise in this million $ plus home with game room, it is well staged with pool cue on the ready and IPA beers at the side table for friends to watch.
If the home you're staging has a demographic benefit from your research, make sure to highlight that in your staging efforts...
Allowing the buyer to make the connection of simply walking to the beach with their on-the-ready beach bag is very clever! Photo by Pacific Home Design
Yes, the shower in this luxury home's laundry room is for the pup:)
If you're not staging a luxury home, you can still add smaller doses of emotional connections that fit to your buyer demographic...
I like to see kids bathrooms staged with art that speaks to their confidence...what parent doesn't connect with that?
A tray for making lemonade, so the buyer can imagine a summer day drinking cold lemonade.
I love this island centerpiece of wine, cheese and gourmet cookbook which speaks to cooks everywhere!
Again, a gourmet cook connection in the kitchen and easy way to stage a corner.
Kitchen Desk Area - Notice the coffee cup on the book for the buyer to imagine working in this space mornings over coffee?
A family room centerpiece staging of popcorn, bowls and soda connects the buyer to family time or movie nights in this space.
