Should I hire a professional stager for my living room, or can I do it myself?

If your budget allows, a professional stager can help maximize your space’s appeal—but with the right resources and effort, DIY staging can still be highly effective.

What types of decor should I avoid when staging a living room?

Avoid overly bold artwork, political or religious decor, and anything too personal or cluttered that could distract buyers.

How much does living room staging typically cost?

Costs vary, but professional staging for one room can range from $300 to $1,000 depending on your market and needs.
