Home stage for FHC.

In today’s crowded furnished rental and real estate markets, well-designed, staged homes consistently outperform the competitionespecially when targeting high-value guests like insurance-displaced families, travel nurses, and relocating professionals.


At Furnished Housing Consultants (FHC), we’ve seen firsthand that professionally designed and staged properties often generate 20% or more in added ROI, whether listed as short-term rentals or homes for sale. Why? Because potential renters aren’t just booking a space—they’re buying into a lifestyle.

Why Design and Staging Matter?

Effective design and staging transform a property from "just okay" to "I want to live here." Thoughtful layouts, appealing colors, and small lifestyle touches help prospective tenants imagine themselves settling in—and that emotional connection drives bookings and higher income.

This can be achieved with just a few simple, practical ways to enhance your property’s design and staging:

  • Declutter and Depersonalize: Remove personal items and excess furniture to make the space feel larger and more inviting.
  • Use Neutral Colors: Stick to warm neutrals like soft gray, taupe, or beige to appeal to a broad audience.
  • Add Lifestyle Touches: Incorporate throw pillows, cozy blankets, plants, and tasteful artwork to create warmth and character.
  • Focus on Key Rooms: Prioritize the living room, kitchen, main bedroom, and bathrooms—where guests form their strongest impressions.
  • Optimize Layout and Function: Choose furniture that fits the room size and flow. Multi-functional pieces (like storage ottomans or fold-out desks) are great for maximizing usability.


These updates don’t need to be expensive. Even modest changes—like better lighting, updated linens, or improved furniture arrangement—can result in stronger listing photos, better reviews, and higher rental rates.


Staging and design aren’t just aesthetic upgrades—they’re a proven investment. Professionally staged properties can rent for up to 25% more each month, attract more inquiries through stronger listing photos, and stay vacant for fewer days. At
