Half Day of Staging: Before & After Photos
As a Morris County Home Stager, my niche market is occupied staging. I use what the client already has repurposing and rearranging their existing furniture to keep costs to a minimum. I provide my clients with everything but furniture: Bedding, lamps, pillows, throws, art, candles, bathroom and kitchen accessories all for only dollars a day (between $3.00 and $6.00) depending on the size of a home.
This was a recent condo I staged. The total inventory charge was $3.00 a day which included over 12 pieces of art, bedding, pillows, throws, ect. The job took 5 hours and the total bill came to $650. which included the initial consultation, staging each room, along with 30 sized and edited MLS photos sent to my client later that day.
Is this condo an HGTV reveal? No…….and generally speaking occupied staging with no furniture rentals aren't, BUT, is it a big improvement considering we used what my client already had, making staging affordable to my client? He thought so and even tipped me $100! That's a first!
Living room: because the valances were dated and dwarfed the windows we took them down and left the silk curtains...
After: By bringing in art, lamps and accessories this room now feels more homey...
Before:
Because the mirror didn't reflect or draw your eye to the fireplace we put a large piece of statement art...
Family room before:
Once we added accessories, a chair from the another room and art the space came alive...
Kitchen before:
We we softened the hardscape making it warmer and more inviting...
The only thing the dining room needed was a centerpiece and larger piece of art...
Small changes, big impact....
The master bath was already in great shape...
By adding a few warm touches, removing the floor mats, it's now more inviting...
We created emotional connections using bath accessories and candles...
Our goal is to have buyers picturing themselves taking a warm bath after a long day...
The Master bedroom had a lot going for it....
Adding new bedding, pillows and art updated and made it more appealing...
The guest room wasn't living up to its potential.....at all!
Again, we added art, pillows and highlighted the window seat; a really nice architectural feature...
Included in the total price were the exterior shots...
While home staging isn't always an HGTV reveal, by investing $650. my client's overall MLS and in person presentation was greatly improved.
There are a lot of misconceptions that staging costs thousands of dollars, but's that's rarly the case and usually when a home is vacant and in need of furniture and accessory rental.
However, Elite Staging and Redesign has never staged an occupied home for over a thousand dollars, even when the home was 5,000 square feet.
