Curious about home staging? Let’s break it down.

  • No. At Open Home Ready we understand that all homes are individual - we will create a truly exclusive look that suits the house and desired target marke

  • Our staging packages cover 4 weeks, with the option to extend weekly if needed.

  • The cost of the home staging must be paid before or on the day of installation, you can pay by credit card, bank transfer or Klarna

  • Our quote includes a 4 week period of prop and staging hire, thereafter prop and furniture hire is charged out on a week to week basis.

  • After the initial consultation at the property, and acceptance of our quote we can home stage your house usually within 1 week. This may vary in our busy seasons

  • No! We would advise you to leave us to it. Once we have completed your stage will invite you to come back for the grand unveiling!

  • We don’t move or store your furniture ourselves, however we can highly recommend Man & a Van for any removal needs.

  • The team will arrive either in a morning, midday or afternoon slot. Staging will typically take 1-3 hours - depending on the size of the home. For safety, we ask clients to duck out during setup.

  • Whoo Hoo! However please note there is no refund, as the cost primarily reflects the styling service rather than the hire term. We’ll schedule collection as soon as the contract goes unconditional

  • Staging isn’t about personal style. It’s about maximising buyer appeal and helping your home stand out.

    However, we always consider the home’s architecture and the target market when selecting furniture.

  • Yes we are fully covered.

The team quickly turned around a staging for us, they did an incredible job and were responsive, flexible and helpful.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We couldn't believe the transformation of our rental once Mia and her team had staged the house ready for sale. It looked incredible and I am sure it is exactly what resulted in an offer 5 days after going on the market. Mia was fantastic to deal with, and will definitely use her again.


— Bev Hamilton

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The best decision we ever made was engaging Mia and the Open Home Ready team. Walking in and seeing the transformation left me completely speechless and I’m not embarrassed to say, moved me to tears. The house looked absolutely incredible and their staging really gave it the WOW factor. The fact there was three offers after the first Open Home was in a large part due Open Home Ready’s staging and we can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond to help us get such a quick sale.
