I just finished staging a home in northeast Austin and wanted to share the before and after photos. I worked with realtor Donna Scoggins with Remax and the homeowners to pull together what is now a darling and inviting home! The previous home was a bachelor pad that was in desperate need of a decorative touch!
Be sure to look for the detailed work pictured below! Austin Simple Staging goes the extra mile ro ensure that every little detail is just perfect!

By renting furniture and accessories with Austin Simple Staging buyers will now desire this home and this space! The family room is where the majority of families spend their time. If you are going to make an investment in home staging, be sure to spend your money wisely!

Pool table out and hello stunning dining room! When preparing your home to sell, it is important to show buyers what specific rooms are for. In this case the formal dining room housed a pool table which made it difficult for buyers to understand the room’s purpose. After renting the appropriate furniture, buyers will now have no question that this room has potential!

We added a small seating area over to the left to show potential buyers that not only is this the dining room but you can also place a few comfortable chairs for a small yet formal living space! When staging a home, there is absolutely no reason you must show buyers every single option for furniture placement but we must give them a clue into what this home could be!

This before and after gives you a good idea how much furniture you can fit in this space. This is the first room you see upon entering the home and the pool table wasn’t winning over buyers! After staging this room is ready to WOW buyers!

If you have a simple kitchen nook table that is lacking character, place a tall and sophisticated plant in the center. It is amazing what a simple arrangment can do for a space. When staging a home it is incredibly important for each room to have a single focal point. In this case, it is the center of the table. By adding a simple peice of artwork to the room, we suddenly have a more dramatic and lively space.

If you have built in units like the one above, showcase them! You don’t need many accessories at all! 2-3 items/shelf should do the job. You can tell that if you accessorize too much the photo can become extremely cluttered.

This home had a darling office that is just perfect for someone who works from home or is need of an office space. We rented a simple writing desk and fun red chair. Now when buyers tour the home there will be no question what this room could potentially be! Contact Austin Simple Staging for help with staging your upcoming listing!

One of the most inexpensive ways to stage a home is to focus on the bathrooms and give them life. This bathroom was recently remodeled and was in need of some decor. By placing a dramatic centerpeice on the sink it suddenly gives it the WOW factor. Bathrooms are extremely important to buyers and they must be showcased to their greatest potential.

This is the master bathroom in this home and due to the the clutter and distraction buyers couldn’t envision themselves purchasing this home. Buying a home is one of the most emotional purchases one can make. We must make sure the home draws out buyer’s emotion…this gives them the opportunity to fall in love!

Have a vacant home? Rent props from Austin Simple Staging and you can take a lifeless house and turn it into a home buyers will desire. Check out the before and after photos below. This is a vacant home that I recently staged. We utilized a few peices of the family’s furniture but the rest of the props pictured they rented from Austin Simple Staging. Give me a call, I would be more than happy to meet you at your property and provide an estimate. Trying to sell a vacant home is no fun, so stage it so you can sell it!
BEFORE
A vacant house is nothing more than lifeless. When a space is vacant it allows buyers to focus in on some of the negative aspects of a home. For example, check out the backspash, it is a 6×6 white tile…nothing special! Check out what happens to your eye when you look at the after photo! There are props and accessories that are filling the kitchen with life and taking your eye away from what is a dated kitchen! We removed the wallpaper border and installed new contemporary handles on the kitchen doors! What an improvement for only $300.00!
AFTER
All the props below can be rented from Austin Simple Staging. If you have a vacant home that you need to sell, call for an estimate! It is amazing what a little fixing up and accessorizing can do!
BEFORE
When staging a home it isn’t always necessary to rent furniture. It depends on your budget and the room. In this case we used a few pieces of furniture the seller had and added some accessories. The space feels decorated and presents nicely but we didn’t spend a fortune!
AFTER
This is a huge improvement over the photo above! I am an extremely practical stager. I work with the family to make the best of the situation we are in. It is amazing what little team work can do! I met this family, they signed the contract, and we turned this house upside down in less than 24 hours!
BEFORE
Bathrooms can look so generic when they are empty! Spice it up and give it some life by renting accessories! Empty houses are nothing but hard textiles, i.e. tile, granite, hardwood floors, etc. By renting towels, rugs, floral arrangements, and other accessories it softens a home making it much more inviting for buyers!
AFTER
Suddenly a boring bathroom turned gorgeous and interesting for buyers! Check out the handles on the cabinet doors. We switched out the hardware in the bathrooms as well! What a huge improvement and it was much less expensive than refinishing the cabinets!
BEFORE
The bathroom was decorated with minimal “left behind” accessories. It is on the verge of looking desperate and sad. With a few accessories and a bit of color, look what happens to this bathroom below!
AFTER
If the grout in a shower is clean, show it off! Most showers are down right disgusting, but if yours isn’t, then let buyers know you have taken care of your home! Always place a small green plant on the back of every toilet in your home. Fake plants are typically best when staging a home as they will always look perfect. Dead plants don’t give off a good vibe for buyers!
BEFORE
This home has an incredible screened in porch; however, it was set up properly to show it’s potential!
AFTER
After rearranging the furniture and accessorizing a bit, the boring patio was brought to life. We must show buyers that this is a place to entertain and throw parties. Most buyers are not visual, so we must do the pre-work for them!
