The transformational impact of home staging: before and after
Home staging is essential in today's property market, as it greatly enhances a property's appeal and helps attract potential buyers. A great example of this can be seen in a recent project we completed at a property on Packington Street in Islington. By showcasing the impressive transformation through before-and-after staging, we want to demonstrate how effective staging can improve a home's presentation and create a positive first impression.
Living Room, before and after
The living room transformation at the Packington Street property was remarkable. Before staging, the empty space failed to showcase its potential, with the beautiful fireplace underutilized and buyers struggling to envision the room's scale. Post-staging, the space underwent a stunning revamp. Strategic furniture arrangement, including two stylish sofas, created a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. The fireplace became a focal point, anchoring the room beautifully. Carefully chosen artwork, plants and lighting elevated the ambiance, resulting in a sophisticated yet welcoming environment. This thoughtful transformation enhanced the room's appeal and helped buyers imagine themselves living in the space, demonstrating how professional staging can unlock a property's hidden potential.
Principal Bedroom, before and after
The principal bedroom's transformation was dramatic. Initially empty and uninviting, it offered no sense of scale or purpose to online viewers. After staging, the space appeared larger and more appealing. We used strategically selected furniture and soft textiles to create a serene retreat. A neatly made bed with plush pillows became a focal point, while light colours on walls and bedding enhanced the sense of space. This before-and-after contrast shows how effective staging can turn an empty room into a welcoming haven that buyers can easily envision themselves in.
The staging extended to two additional bedrooms, kitchen/diner and hallway spaces, including creating a comfortable working-from-home space in an unused landing alcove, as can be seen in the before and after images below.

The difference between a property before and after staging is truly remarkable! Following our staging expertise, these spaces not only look more appealing, but they also enable buyers to emotionally connect with the property and envision its full potential. We hope you've enjoyed this glimpse into the world of professional home staging. A well-staged property is not just more attractive; it also sells faster. We’re here to help you achieve that success!
NEWSFLASH!! Only a day after this blog post first went live, we found out from our agent partner, Dexters in Islington, that they had received 5 offers within 2 days of marketing, and the property sold for £50,000 more than the asking price. What an amazing result for the vendor and agent. Further proof of the incredible value in staging a vacant property.
