Getting Started

What is professional home staging?

Professional home staging is the strategic preparation and styling of a property to help it show at its very best and appeal to potential buyers. A professional stager uses furniture placement, lighting, décor, and thoughtful styling to highlight a home's best features, improve how each space photographs and shows, and help buyers connect emotionally with the property and envision themselves living there.

Which rooms should I stage?

Focus first on the spaces that make the strongest impression on buyers and have the greatest impact in listing photos. Prioritize the main living area, kitchen or dining space, and primary bedroom. From there, staging can extend to additional bedrooms, flex spaces, home offices, and outdoor living areas to help buyers understand the full potential and functionality of the home.

Do I need to move out if I still live in the home?

Not at all. We offer occupied-home staging designed to work with you and many of the furnishings you already have. We'll evaluate your home, recommend what to keep, rearrange or refresh, and identify any finishing touches that will help it show its best. Every home is different, so we'll create a staging approach that works for your space, lifestyle, and selling goals.

Do you source and purchase the furnishings?

Yes. For Airbnb and short-term rental styling projects, we source furnishings, décor, and essentials specifically selected for your property. We focus on pieces that are stylish, durable, guest-friendly, and designed to stand up to frequent turnovers. Best of all, the furnishings are yours to own, creating a cohesive, photo-ready space that helps your rental stand out and deliver a memorable guest experience.

Can I or my buyer purchase the staged furniture?

Yes. Most staged furniture and décor are available for purchase for a predetermined fee, making it easy for you or your buyer to enjoy the professionally designed space exactly as it is. Mattresses and linens are excluded from the purchase.
