Virtual Staging for Vacant Homes

Empty rooms are hard to fall in love with. Buyers struggle to judge scale, picture where the couch goes or feel what living there would be like. Virtual staging solves that by digitally furnishing your listing photos, at a small fraction of what physical staging costs and without moving a single piece of furniture.

How virtual staging works

1. We photograph the empty room as part of your real estate photography shoot.
2. You choose the rooms and a style. Modern, transitional, traditional or coastal: tell us the look that fits the home and the likely buyer.
3. The room is furnished digitally with realistic furniture, rugs, lighting and decor, matched to the room's perspective and light.
4. You get both versions, the staged photo and the original empty-room photo, so you can show buyers the room as it really is, too.

Which rooms to stage

You don't need to stage every room. The biggest impact usually comes from the living room, the primary bedroom and the kitchen or dining area, the spaces buyers look at first. Awkward or multipurpose rooms are worth staging too, because furniture shows buyers how the space can be used (home office, nursery, guest room).

Pricing and quotes

Pricing depends on the size of the home and the services you choose. Request a quote or call (617) 858-7268 and we'll send a price for your listing.

Compared with renting and moving furniture into a vacant home, it's a fast, low-cost way to make a listing feel finished. Add it to any shoot.

Staging the right way

Virtual staging should help buyers imagine a home, not mislead them. We add furniture and decor only. We never hide defects, change views or alter permanent features like walls, floors or windows. Most MLS rules and fair-advertising practices call for labeling virtually staged photos, so we recommend marking them as "virtually staged" in your listing and keeping the original photos available.

Pairs well with

Vacant listings also benefit from a 2D floor plan, which shows how the rooms connect, and virtual twilight on the front exterior for a warm, lived-in look. For buyers who want to walk the space themselves, add a 3D tour. We provide virtual staging for listings throughout Greater Boston, the North Shore, the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire.
