What moves the price
- How much is staged — decluttering and rearranging costs far less than furnishing an empty home
- Furniture hire — hired sofas, beds and accessories are charged for as long as the house is on the market
- Size of the home — more rooms to dress means more furniture, styling time and delivery
- Painting and repairs — touching up walls and fixing small faults before photos adds to staging
- Location — staging a London home or a high-value house usually costs more than elsewhere
- Length of the sale — a slow market means paying furniture hire for more months
Building and repair prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical home staging would have cost about £1420 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Declutter and clean the home yourself first, so the stager's time goes on styling rather than clearing
- Stage only the main rooms buyers see first — living room, kitchen and main bedroom
- Use your own furniture where it suits the look and hire staging pieces only for empty or dated rooms
Before you book
- Ask what the staging fee covers and whether furniture hire is a monthly charge on top
- Check the staging company has insurance for hired furniture in your home
- Check the home has a valid Energy Performance Certificate, which you need before marketing it for sale
- Agree the staging date with your estate agent so photos are taken once the home is dressed
Home Staging cost: questions people ask
Roughly £600–£2,642 per project, about £2,000 typical. Decluttering and styling with your own furniture costs least; furnishing an empty home with hired pieces costs most.
One to three days to style most homes. Hired furniture then stays until the home sells or the hire period ends.
It can help a home photograph better and sell faster, especially if it is empty or cluttered. The gain varies a lot, so weigh the cost against your likely sale price.
Yes. Decluttering, cleaning, neutral bedding and good lighting cover much of what a stager does, for very little cost.
Professional photography, deep cleaning, decorating and repairs are generally separate costs. Your estate agent may include photos in their fee, so ask before paying twice.
