Stage: selling or letting

Before the keys change hands.

Staging for sale or let, in a day.

A seller whose agent says the spare room "reads as storage". A landlord with viewings next week. Staging gets a home ready for its photographs and its viewings, using what is already there wherever it can.

A small bedroom set up simply: a made bed with a knitted throw and folded towels, lamps on two bedside tables, a rush-seated chair.

Three ways in, for a sale or a let

Do it yourself with a list, have Laura do it in a day, or plan something bigger.

  • Staging Walk-Round

    £125

    Up to 90 minutes in the home and a written list of what to clear, move, mend and add.

    Good for: sellers and landlords who would rather do the work themselves.

  • Staging Day

    £325

    Up to 7 hours using what the owner has, a finishing list of up to 10 pieces.

    Good for: a home that is lived in, readied for photographs and viewings in one day.

  • Bigger Set-Up

    £325 a day, written quote first

    Bigger lets, several lets, or an empty home furnished with the owner's new pieces.

    Good for: more than a day's work, with the number of days agreed in writing before anything is booked.

Let the space do some of the talking.

Furniture, light and textiles arranged for the camera, using what you have.

On a Staging Day the work happens in the rooms themselves: a walk-round first, then furniture, art, lighting and textiles rearranged, surplus cleared from view, and each room styled for photographs and viewings.

What the day cannot do with what you own goes on a finishing list of up to 10 pieces, for you to buy if you choose.

  1. First

    The walk-round

    Every room, with the listing photographs in mind.

  2. Then

    Rearranged and cleared

    Furniture, art, lighting and textiles moved; surplus cleared from view.

  3. Then

    Styled, room by room

    Each room set for the camera and for viewings.

  4. At the end

    The finishing list

    Up to 10 pieces that would finish it, if you choose to buy them.

For the photographs, too

The Photo Brief and Shoot Day Styling work for a sale or a let exactly as they do for a holiday let.

Plainly

  • Styling and set-up only: Laura makes no promise about sales, offers or rents.
  • Laura doesn't carry out or sign off fire, gas or electrical safety checks.
  • Need it cleared first? Declutter sorts a room or a whole home before the styling.
