Who clears and cleans the home before staging?

The seller or the realtor does. The home should be cleared and cleaned before the install day so we can stage a clean space. Vacant homes use our own inventory, and occupied homes get a 2 hour Listing Restyle after that prep.

How much notice do you need for a Boulder install?

One week of notice is preferred. A rush install is possible for a fee. Call (970) 286-9918 with your listing date and the address in Boulder, and we will confirm the install date with you. Planning ahead gives you the most choice of dates.

Can you stage an occupied home?

Yes. Occupied homes get a 2 hour Listing Restyle. Vacant homes are staged with our own inventory. Most of our clients are realtors. Either way, the home should be cleared and cleaned before we arrive, and we can talk through the details by phone.

Boulder listings range from Victorian and craftsman homes near Pearl Street to 1950s and 1960s ranches in Table Mesa and Martin Acres. Staging gives each one furniture scaled to its rooms, so buyers can see how the space lives.

The Home Staging Process, Step by Step

Reach Out

Call or send the form with your Boulder listing date. One week of notice is preferred, and a rush install is possible for a fee, with some rush jobs started from photos.

On-Site Staging Consultation

We visit the Boulder home to read the light, views and room sizes. Vacant homes use our own inventory. Occupied homes get a 2 hour Listing Restyle.

Proposal and Install Date

You receive a proposal with the install date, and the inventory is chosen for that Boulder home, not a fixed package. Sellers or realtors clear the home, and cleaners come before the install.

Install, Listing Period and Removal

We install and style the home. Thirty days of rental are included, then it continues month to month, which helps when a Boulder listing runs past the first month. Removal needs 1 week notice.

Market-Ready Staging

Furnished staging for vacant Boulder homes, using our own inventory chosen for that house. In a Mapleton Hill Victorian, that means pieces that suit the woodwork and scale. In a 1960s ranch, it means defining open rooms so buyers see how they live.

Market-Ready Staging

Listing Restyle

For occupied Boulder homes, a flat fee restyle of up to 2 hours using the owner's furniture, with art provided if needed. It suits a seller still living in a Table Mesa or Newlands home who wants the rooms edited, not emptied.

Listing Restyle

Designed to Sell

Renovation for resale, where we design and manage the build before the home lists. With many Boulder homes built before 1980, older kitchens and baths are common candidates for updating before listing. We make no guarantees on sale price or days on market.

Vision is the art of seeing the invisible.

How long does the staging stay in the home?

Do you stage homes in Boulder, and is there a travel fee?

Yes. We have staged a house on Marshall Road in Boulder. Our service area is Northern Colorado, and a travel fee may apply outside it, so call (970) 286-9918 with the address and we will confirm for your listing.

How do you stage a Boulder home to show its views and light?

Furniture is chosen and placed so windows, light and sightlines stay clear. Many Boulder buyers look for light, foothill views and a link to the outdoors, so we look at these at the on-site consultation. Inventory is chosen for that home, not a fixed package.

Yes. Vacant condos and townhomes are staged with our own inventory, and occupied ones can get a 2 hour Listing Restyle. Downtown and Pearl Street have many condos and townhomes, and the inventory is chosen for each unit's rooms and scale. Call (970) 286-9918 to talk through a specific unit.
