What staging is actually buying you
A photograph that stops the scroll
Almost every buyer sees the listing photos before they see the house. An empty room photographs as a floor plan, and a floor plan does not book a viewing.
A room somebody can stand in
Furniture gives scale. Without it a buyer cannot tell whether their sofa fits, and a buyer who cannot tell assumes it does not.
A price you can defend
Staging is the cheapest thing on the list of ways to defend an asking price, and the only one that comes back out of the house afterwards.
One decision, not forty
You are not choosing cushions. You approve a direction at the walkthrough and we do the rest.
Rooms we staged this season
Photographed on handover day, before the listing went live.
Kenwood, four bedroom
Full stage · Listed in nine daysVacant, on the market unstaged for eleven weeks before we were called. Whole ground floor plus the primary bedroom.
Highland Park, three bedroom
Primary bedroom and livingOccupied. Staged around the owners' own furniture, which is most of what we do.
Como, bungalow
Kitchen and living · Sold at askingA dated kitchen nobody was going to replace before selling. Styled rather than argued with.
This is what an empty room does
Not a before-and-after pair. Just an empty room, which is the condition most of our calls arrive in.
A vacant room photographs as an inventory of its own faults. The eye has nothing to land on, so it finds the scuffed skirting, the dated curtain track and the outlet halfway up the wall. Buyers scrolling a listing feed spend well under two seconds on a photograph like this one, and almost none of them can tell you afterwards how big the room was.
The furniture is not the point. Scale is the point. A sofa of a known size tells somebody instantly whether their life fits in the room, and that is a question no floor plan has ever answered persuasively.
We stage occupied homes as often as vacant ones, working around what you already own and removing about as much as we bring.

What it costs
Published, because a stager who will not quote until they have seen the house is a stager who is pricing your postcode.
| Package | First 60 days |
|---|---|
Consultation onlyTwo hours, a written room-by-room list, and you do the work yourself. | $325 |
Occupied restyleWe edit and restyle what you own and bring in what is missing. Usually three to four rooms. | From $1,400 |
Vacant, main roomsLiving, dining and primary bedroom furnished throughout. | From $2,800 |
Vacant, whole houseEvery room a buyer walks through, including the awkward one nobody knows what to do with. | From $4,600 |
Extension after 60 daysMonthly, no new install fee. | 20% of package |
Prices include delivery, installation, styling, removal at the end of the term and the consultation. Nothing on this page is a deposit against a later quote. Homes over four thousand square feet and anything outside the first ring suburbs are quoted individually.

Walkthrough
Ninety minutes at the house. We photograph every room, measure what matters, and tell you which rooms are worth staging and which are not. Charged only if you do not go ahead.
Proposal and price
Within two working days. Room by room, with the package price and what is in it. No allowances, no line saying to be confirmed.
Install day
One day, two stagers, everything delivered in a single van. You do not need to be there and most people are not.
Photography the next morning
We hold the styling overnight so your photographer shoots it fresh. If you do not have one, we will give you three names and take no fee from any of them.
When we say no
If the house needs a deep clean, a repaint or a repair before it needs furniture, we will say so at the walkthrough and tell you to spend the money there first. Staging a house that is not ready wastes your rental term and makes our work look worse than it is. Roughly one walkthrough in six ends with us recommending nothing at all, and those are not charged for.
The agent programme
Straightforward terms, and the last line is the one that matters.
- Priority schedulingWalkthrough within 48 hours for listing agents on the programme
- Direct billingInvoice at closing rather than at install, on request
- Consultation creditThe consultation fee is waived on your third listing and after
- Shared photographyFull-resolution install-day photographs, licensed for your marketing
- No referral fees, in either directionWe do not pay for listings and we do not accept payment for recommending anybody
That last line is a policy rather than a boast. A stager paying for referrals has to recover the money somewhere, and it is always in the package price your seller pays.
What people say
Eleven weeks empty, no offers. Staged on a Tuesday, photographed Wednesday, three showings that weekend and an offer the following Monday.
Danielle O.Seller, KenwoodThey told me not to stage the basement and to spend the money on the carpet instead. Cost them about six hundred dollars of work and bought them every listing I have had since.
Marcus R.Listing agentWe were still living there with two kids. They worked around us, took away half our furniture for eight weeks, and the house looked like a magazine.

Before the walkthrough
Does staging actually work?
We are not going to quote you an industry statistic, because the ones that circulate are produced by the industry that benefits from them. What we will do at the walkthrough is show you the last four comparable listings in your neighbourhood and how long each took.
Can you stage while we are living there?
Yes, and it is more than half of what we do. We work around what you own, put some of it into storage for the term, and bring in what is missing.
What if it does not sell in sixty days?
The term extends monthly at twenty per cent of the package price, with no new install fee. Most extensions run one month.
Do you charge for the walkthrough?
Only if you decide not to go ahead. It is credited in full against any package.
Who owns the furniture?
We do. It is rented for the term and removed at the end. Nothing in a staged house is for sale, including the thing your buyer will ask about.
Book a walkthrough
Tell us about the house. We reply within one working day with a time and, if we already know the neighbourhood, a rough range.
