Home Staging for Homeowners

Home staging is the process of preparing a property for sale by enhancing its appeal to potential buyers. At Featherington Interiors, we strategically arrange furniture, décor, and accessories to showcase your property's best features, create a welcoming atmosphere, and help buyers envision themselves living in the space.

After staging, your property is ready for professional photography and viewings. The staging items remain in place for the agreed contract period (typically 8-12 weeks). If your property sells within this period, we'll schedule removal after the sale completes. If you need an extension, this can usually be arranged for an additional fee.

Featherington Interiors provides home staging services throughout London, Essex, and Hertfordshire. Our experienced team is familiar with the property markets in these areas and understands the preferences of local buyers.

No, you don't need to be present during the staging process. As long as we have access to the property, our professional team can handle everything. We'll need a key or access code, and we'll arrange a convenient time for installation.

The physical staging process typically takes 1-2 days depending on the size of the property and the scope of staging required. A one-bedroom flat might be completed in half a day, while a large family home could take 1-2 full days.

We recommend contacting us at least 2 weeks before you want the property staged. For larger properties or during busy periods (spring and autumn), more advance notice may be required. For urgent requests, please contact us directly as we may be able to accommodate shorter timeframes for an additional fee.

Our process typically follows these steps:

1. Initial consultation: We assess your property and discuss your needs and timeline

2. Proposal: We provide a detailed proposal outlining our recommendations and costs

3. Scheduling: Once approved, we schedule your staging date

4. Installation: Our team brings in and arranges all necessary furniture and décor

5. Marketing period: Items remain in place during the selling period (typically 8-12 weeks)

6. Removal: Once the property sells or the contract ends, we remove all staging items

We stage all types of residential properties including flats, terraced houses, semi-detached homes, detached houses, new builds, period properties, and luxury estates. Our approach is tailored to each property type and the target market of potential buyers.

While interior design focuses on creating personalised spaces that reflect the homeowner's taste and lifestyle, home staging aims to appeal to the broadest range of potential buyers. Staging creates a neutral yet attractive presentation that helps buyers envision themselves in the space rather than highlighting the current owner's personal style.
