The service
What is vacant home staging?
When rooms are empty, they appear smaller than they really are. Our staging service has its own set of furniture, art and accessories in its inventory.
The package is valid through the date of closing and remains in force if the listing continues to be active through a lengthy selling process.

The fit
Who vacant staging is for
The rooms are empty — and an empty room is the hardest thing to sell a buyer, because it asks them to do the imagining.
- Sellers who have already movedThe house is empty and photographing smaller than it is. Furniture gives every room a use again before the first viewing.
- Investors and finished renovationsA completed project with nothing in it reads as square footage. Furnished, it reads as a home a buyer can price.
- New-build and spec homesOne completed house dressed properly sells the plan as well as the plot.
- Listings that have gone quietWeeks of viewings and no offers on an empty house. Furnishing the rooms is the cheaper thing to try first.
The scope
What’s included, and what isn’t
Included in the quote
- A walkthrough, or a plan worked from your floor plans
- A written room-by-room plan: layout, palette and pieces
- Furniture, rugs, art, lighting and accessories, delivered and installed
- The first month of furniture rental
- A styling pass before the photographer arrives
- Collection and removal after closing
Not included
- Painting, repairs or anything structural
- Cleaning and trash removal
- The listing photography itself
- Clearing or storing anything left in the house
We deal with decor only. Nothing structural is touched, which is why staging needs no permits — and why the trades, the cleaners and the photographer stay yours to book.
How we work
Step 1/4
Walk through the rooms.
Meet in person or send us photos — we note everything that will need to be moved in or out.

Create a plan.
Everything is agreed on paper before anything is bought or moved.
Handover day.
You get an organized, decorated and finished room — and adjustments are possible at any stage.
The schedule
From empty rooms to listing photos
- First contactSend photos or the floor plan. A price range comes back before you give us a name.
- Within 2 hoursYour stylist sends a quote; the walkthrough turns it into a fixed number that doesn’t change.
- Install dayA full package delivered and placed — furniture, rugs, art and lighting. Typically 24 hours on location.
- Photo dayPhotographed the same evening, then showings. Everything is collected after closing.
The money
What changes the price
- A whole package, deliveredFrom $1,450Nothing is already in the house, so every piece in the photographs arrives on a van. That is the difference between vacant and occupied.
- How many roomsPer room, not per sq ftUsually the living room and the primary bedroom first, then whichever other spaces the house is being sold on.
- How long it staysFirst month includedThe first month of furniture rental is in the price. After that it continues month to month until closing.
- Access on install dayStairs and liftsA third-floor walk-up with a tight stairwell adds time to the install; a driveway and a lift take it away.
Send the floor plan or a few photographs and a range comes back the same day — the walkthrough turns it into a fixed number that does not change.

What clients say
Decor Homee had an excellent understanding of how to stage our empty apartment. The furniture was appropriately sized and the design was tasteful and functional in all rooms. It was very helpful during the open houses.
The staging made our condo look like a real home. Potential buyers understood the floor plan and the use of rooms right away. The quality was impressive from start to end.
As a real estate agent, I know the importance of staging. The team created a complete look that stood out in photos and was easy to market remotely. Working with Decor Homee was a pleasure.

What is vacant staging?
Vacant staging is the furnishing and styling of an empty property ahead of listing it for sale. It lets buyers see how the property is spaced and how it can be used, with the help of professional staging.
What are the benefits of staging a vacant home?
An unfurnished space can be perceived as smaller, which dampens the appeal of the property in photographs and during showings. Staging gives buyers a visual idea of the possibilities of the property.
Vacant staging vs. occupied home staging — what is the difference?
Occupied staging works with the furniture of the homeowner, while vacant staging brings in rental furniture chosen for staging purposes.
Which rooms should be staged?
Usually, the living room and the master bedroom are the most important, but depending on the house offered, a lot of other spaces can be added to the list of rooms needing staging.
