Q & A

Is home staging really worth the cost if I want to sell quickly and for a higher price?

Yes—and the numbers speak for themselves. Professionally staged homes sell up to 3x faster and for 5–15% more than unstaged ones.

At Farrow Home Staging, we’ve helped property developers and homeowners across Kent, London, and Greenwich turn both vacant properties and lived-in homes into market-ready spaces that stand out online and in person and have sold quickly for maximum profit.

With our furniture and accessory rental packages and expert styling, your property will look brighter, more spacious, and far more appealing to buyers—often avoiding the need for price drops or long time on the market.

What’s the best way to stage a vacant property—should I rent furniture or buy it?

For most property developers and home owners with vacant properties in Kent & London renting furniture is the preferred option.

It’s faster, more cost-effective, and handled by professionals who curate pieces to suit your target market.

Buying furniture means added costs, time spent sourcing, and having the expertise to select the right style and size furniture and the challenge of delivery, assembly and storing it after the sale.

In contrast, rental staging offers a quick turnaround and expert styling that helps buyers emotionally connect with the space.

With only 10% of buyers able to visualise empty rooms, staging makes your property stand out.

Could I stage my property myself?

Yes, you absolutely can—especially if you have the time, enthusiasm, and a good eye for detail.

Many homeowners across Kent, London, and Greenwich choose to stage their own properties, and even basic decluttering and styling can make a big difference in how your home presents to buyers.

If you're working with a limited budget, we recommend starting with a home staging consultation and report. At Farrow Home Staging, we offer expert guidance and a personalised “to-do” list that helps you style your property yourself, using what you already have or sourcing affordable accessories.

However, if you're short on time or want maximum impact, our professional staging service—including furniture rental and styling—can transform your space quickly and effectively. Professionally staged homes often sell faster and for more, making it a smart investment.

Whether you DIY or call in the experts, any effort to improve presentation before listing will most certainly help your property stand out and attract serious buyers.

My property has been on the market for several months and it is not selling, should I stage it?

If your property has been on the market for months without any success in selling, a price drop might seem like the only option. However, before making such a significant concession that could cost you thousands, we recommend a much cheaper and effective alternative – home staging!

With our professional home stagers, you can give your property the much-needed 'wow factor' that will attract more buyers. Instead of rushing into a price reduction, let us revamp and re-style your property to make it irresistibly appealing.
In the United States, a vast majority of sellers use professional home stagers to ensure quick sales and higher returns. Often, it's not the price that prevents a property from selling, but rather poor presentation.

I am thinking of contacting a home stager, but I am embarrassed and overwhelmed by the mess and state of my house, what should I do?

Feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed about the state of your house is entirely normal, and you're not alone. As experienced home stagers, we are understanding and non-judgmental, adept at bringing out the best in even the messiest of houses.

We want you to know that homes are meant to be lived in, and it's okay for them to show signs of life. However, when the time comes to sell, we encourage our clients to recognize that decluttering is essential. Those cherished 'nick nacks' may need to be packed up and prepared for their new home. Buyers want to envision themselves in a clean and tidy space, and our expertise lies in helping them see your property's true potential.

We understand the emotional attachment you may have to your home, and our role is to support you through the process of detaching and seeing your property as a valuable asset. Our decluttering services are here to assist you every step of the way. From providing guidance on decluttering to helping you pack up your belongings, we have you covered. Moreover, we have strong connections with local storage companies, making the process seamless.

So, if you're considering contacting a home stager but are worried about the state of your house, don't be. Let us help you transform your property into a welcoming and clutter-free space that will captivate potential buyers and ensure you achieve the highest possible selling price.
