When it comes to selling property, first impressions count. Professional home staging - presenting a home so it appeals to buyers - can transform a listing from ordinary to irresistible. But how much does it cost to stage a home in the UK, and what do you actually get for your investment?

In this guide, we’ll break down typical staging costs, what influences the price, and why it’s often worth every penny.

Why Home Staging Matters

A staged home doesn’t just look attractive - it performs better on the market. According to industry reports, staged homes often:

- Sell faster than unstaged homes.

- Achieve higher offers, sometimes 8–10% above asking price.

- Stand out in crowded online listings with professional photography.

For property developers, estate agents, and homeowners alike, staging is an investment in both speed and value.

Typical Costs of Home Staging in the UK

The cost of professional home staging varies depending on the size of the property, its location, and the level of service required. Below are some industry benchmarks:

Consultation Only: £250 – £500
A professional walkthrough or virtual consultation with recommendations you can implement yourself.

Staging a 1–2 Bedroom Flat: £1,500 – £3,500
Styling of key rooms (living, kitchen, main bedroom), with rented furniture and accessories if needed.

Staging a 3–4 Bedroom Home: £4,000 – £8,000
Comprehensive staging of multiple rooms with full furniture packages, artwork, and styling touches.

Show Homes / Premium Developments: £10,000+
Bespoke styling with luxury furniture, artwork, and accessories designed to match the property’s positioning.

These prices usually include initial consultation, furniture rental, accessories, installation, and professional styling. Photography is often an additional cost, unless bundled.

Factors That Influence the Cost

Property Size - Larger homes require more furniture and styling pieces.

Location - London and the South East command higher rates due to demand and logistics.

Duration - Most furniture rentals are charged monthly, so costs rise if the property takes longer to sell.

Level of Finish – Luxury properties need higher-quality furniture and bespoke styling.

Photography – Professional interior photography may be offered as an add-on or included.

Is Home Staging Worth the Investment?

For developers and sellers, the return on investment is clear. Staged homes can sell faster, reduce price negotiations, and deliver a higher sale price — often far outweighing the initial staging fee.

For interior designers and architects, staging also provides professional photography that enhances your portfolio, helping you win future work.
