If you’ve ever scrolled through property listings and wondered why some homes seem to attract all the attention while others linger on the market, the secret might just be home staging.
A well-staged home not only looks more inviting but also sells faster and for a higher price. But how much does home staging cost?
At House of Arden, we provide expert home staging services tailored to maximise the value of your property. Below, we’ll break down our pricing structure and explain what you can expect when you choose to stage your home with us.
How We Price Home Staging
For an empty property, our pricing is based on a per-room structure:
£500 per room – This includes bedrooms, living rooms, dining spaces, offices, conservatories, and any other reception areas or rooms.
Kitchen and Bathrooms are combined as £500 – These areas require fewer furnishings but still need careful styling to create a cohesive look. However, open plan kitchen/diner/family areas will be charged per functional area.
For example, a three-bedroom detached home with a lounge, an open-plan kitchen/diner, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms, as standard, would be quoted at around £3,000 (exc. VAT).
Note: Prices may vary either way depending on the size of the rooms and the amount of furniture required to create the perfect look.
What’s Included in Our Staging Package?
Our home staging service is designed to be completely hassle-free. Here’s what you get when you work with House of Arden:
Furniture Rental – High-quality, stylish furniture that suits your property’s layout and buyer demographic.
Soft Furnishings & Accessories – Cushions, rugs, throws, bedding, lamps, and decorative items to enhance the space.
Artwork & Decorative Pieces – Carefully chosen artwork and accessories to add warmth and personality.
Professional Staging Team – Our expert team will handle everything, from setup to styling, ensuring your property looks its absolute best.
Seamless Removal – Once your staging contract ends, we take care of de-staging, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
8-Week Rental Period – All pricing includes an initial 8-week furniture hire contract to give your property plenty of time to attract buyers.
Custom Staging Options
Not every property needs full staging—sometimes, a few well-placed finishing touches can make all the difference. That’s why we offer a range of staging options:
Full Staging – Ideal for empty homes or newly built properties, where we furnish and style the entire space from scratch.
Partial Staging – Perfect for homes that have some furniture but need extra pieces to fill in gaps and create a cohesive, polished look.
Accessory Staging – If you’re still living in the property while selling, we can enhance your existing furniture with stylish accessories to add warmth and appeal.
How Long Does Staging Last?
Our standard rental period is 8 weeks, but we understand that some properties may take longer to sell. If needed, you may be able to extend your staging contract in 4-week increments for an additional fee. The cost of extending your staging will depend on the amount of furniture being rented.
The Staging Process: How It Works
Initial Consultation – We visit your property to assess the space, discuss ideas, and provide a bespoke written quote.
Scheduling – Once you’re happy with the quote, we book a staging date (typically within 2-4 weeks).
Staging Day – Depending on the size of the property, staging can take anywhere from half a day to a full week.
Marketing & Viewings – Your beautifully staged home is now ready for listing photos, viewings, and open houses.
De-Staging – When the contract ends, we handle all furniture removal. You don’t have to do a thing!
Is Home Staging Worth the Cost?
Absolutely! Statistics show that staged homes sell up to 3x faster and achieve 5-10% higher sale prices than non-staged properties.
For example, if your home is valued at £400,000, a 5-10% price increase means you could sell for £20,000–£40,000 more than a non-staged equivalent. With staging costs starting at just a fraction of that amount, the return on investment is significant.
Ready to Stage Your Home?
If you’re looking to sell faster, attract more buyers, and achieve the best possible price for your property, home staging is one of the most effective strategies you can invest in.
