When a home sits empty, it often feels cold, impersonal, and smaller than it really is. Buyers struggle to imagine how furniture will fit, how rooms connect, or how the home will support their lifestyle. That’s why vacant staging is so powerful. At One Two Six Design, we transform empty properties into warm, welcoming spaces that inspire buyers to picture themselves living there. With over 27 years of experience, 15,000+ staged properties, and a 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse of curated furnishings and décor, we possess the expertise and resources to make vacant homes stand out in the competitive Bay Area market.

Below are some of the most common questions sellers ask about vacant staging:

What is vacant staging?

Vacant staging involves fully furnishing and styling an empty home to make it appear as if it were a home for sale. We utilize our extensive inventory of furniture, art, and décor to lend each room purpose, flow, and character, ensuring buyers view the property at its best.

Why stage an empty home?

Empty homes can feel smaller and less inviting, making it hard for buyers to connect emotionally. Vacant staging highlights scale, defines each space, and creates a warm atmosphere that helps buyers visualize their life in the home. A staged property also photographs better, attracting more attention online.

How does the process work?

We begin with a consultation and walkthrough to evaluate the property. Our team then creates a design plan tailored to your home’s style and layout. Once approved, we deliver furnishings from our warehouse, install everything, and style the home. When the property sells, we handle the removal quickly and efficiently.

What are the benefits of vacant staging?

• Stronger first impressions: Staging turns an empty house into a move-in-ready home.
• Faster sales: Staged homes typically spend less time on the market than vacant properties.
• Higher offers: By showcasing the home’s potential, staging often results in more competitive bids.
• Better photography: Professionally staged homes stand out in online listings, drawing more showings.

Do you stage every room?

While we recommend staging key areas such as the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom, and dining space, we can tailor the plan to suit your budget and specific needs. The goal is to create a cohesive presentation that highlights the home’s most important selling points.

How long does vacant staging take?

Most vacant staging projects are completed in under a week. After the initial consultation and design plan, we efficiently handle delivery, setup, and styling, ensuring your home is ready for photography and showings without unnecessary delays.
