Everything we can do for a listing

  • Staging, empty or furnished

    A room can be empty, sparse or already full, and we stage it either way. For furnished rooms we clear the existing furniture and clutter, rebuild the surfaces behind, and restyle, keeping the structure, finishes and any defects exactly as they are.

  • Kitchens and bathrooms

    We add towels, plants and tableware so kitchens and bathrooms look clean and inviting. Décor only, never furniture.

  • Open-plan in one shot

    A whole open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen, furnished in a single wide shot.

  • Photo enhancement, included

    Included with every listing: we brighten dark photos, straighten crooked ones and clear haze. Where suitable we also recover the real view through over-bright windows, warm an exterior to golden hour, or replace an overcast sky. Always from the real photo. We never invent a view.

  • Tidying distractions

    Where suitable, we tidy away temporary distractions like bins, hoses, cables or a parked car.

  • Consistent across angles

    We can stage more than one angle of a room so the set stays consistent.

  • Choose a look

    We suggest a style to suit the property: modern, minimalist, classic, luxury, coastal or Scandinavian. You can pick a different one if you prefer.

  • Listing description, free

    A ready-to-post listing description, written from your photos and included free with every listing.

Questions

Does virtual staging look real?

Yes. We furnish or restyle the room photorealistically and keep the property itself (walls, windows, finishes and any defects) exactly as photographed. Every staged image is clearly marked as virtually staged.

Can you stage a room that already has furniture?

Yes. We clear the existing furniture and clutter, rebuild the surfaces behind, and restyle the room. A room doesn't need to be empty.

What rooms can you stage?

Living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, studies, entrance halls and patios, plus open-plan spaces. We add tasteful décor to kitchens and bathrooms.

How long does it take?

Your staged photos, enhancements and listing description come back within 48 hours, ready to post.

Will the staged photos be marked?

Always. Every staged image carries a visible “Virtually staged” mark, we keep your originals, and we never hide a defect or invent a feature.
