Saturday Staging Feature: Does Staging Require Buying New Furniture?

This is a common question.  In most cases it's not necessary to buy new furniture or accessories.  Sharon Tara, a professional Home Stager in New Hampshire like to "shop" around the house.  Looks what can be done by rearranging furniture and purchasing a few slipcovers.

NH Home Staging FAQ - Does Staging Require Buying New Furniture?


Most New Hampshire sellers are not familiar with Home Staging and their expectations are usually based on TV shows...not exactly "real life" accurate.

Home Staging doesn't always involve the removal and replacement of your furniture.  Yes, you can hire a stager to do that, but it's not required.

Sharon Tara Transformations specializes in Home Staging consults for occupied homes.  I will recommend replacement when necessary, but whenever possible I use the home owners' existing furnishings.  It's surprising what can be done simply by moving things around and "shopping" for accessories within the house.

 

1.  Built-ins and paneling painted.  New slipcover for couch.  Nothing new brought in.

2.  Furniture rearranged.  Nothing new brought in.

3.  Furniture rearranged.  Nothing new brought in.

 Professional Home Stagers pride themselves on saving sellers money and finding inexpensive, creative solutions when the furnishings are somewhat lacking in the appeal department. 

 

If you have a vacant property, you will need furniture.... but, it's your decision whether to borrow, rent, or buy.  Meet with a professional stager to discuss your options.  You don't have to furnish every room.  Most stagers can work with all budgets and advise you on which rooms would best benefit from staging.

Hi Diane~ She does a wonderful job.  I really like that she includes BEFORE and AFTER photos on her blog.  It helps folks visualize the difference that staging can make in a home for sale.

Donna, Another good reblog. I have found it amazing just repurposing a piece of furniture from one end of the room to another or from one room to another.
