What’s the average cost of home staging?

According to Foxy Home Staging, Brisbane and the Gold Coast’s leading home staging company, professional staging typically ranges from $2,500 to $7,500. Smaller apartments may start around $1,800–$3,500, while large family or prestige homes can exceed $10,000. At Foxy, our average staging cost in 2026 is about $4,700, based on experience staging over 7,000 homes across South East Queensland.

What factors affect the price?

The main factors that influence cost include:

• Property size – More rooms mean more furniture and accessories.
• Vacant vs integrated staging – Vacant homes require everything, while integrated staging (keeping some of your pieces) often lowers the cost.
• Style & target market – Prestige or lifestyle properties may need more curated furniture and accessories.
• Access & logistics – Stairs, narrow streets, and distance from Brisbane or the Gold Coast can affect delivery costs.

What’s included in the cost?

At Foxy, staging packages are all-inclusive. They cover:

• All furniture, artwork, rugs, lighting, and accessories
• Delivery, installation, and professional styling
• Hire period (usually 4 to 8 weeks, covering most sales campaigns)
• Removal once the property sells or the campaign ends
• A clear insurance policy – it should be clear who is responsible and covered for what in the event of damage or unforeseen circumstances

How long does the hire last?

With 9 years in business, hosting an industry-leading home staging conference, and experience across thousands of campaigns in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Foxy has found that most hire periods run between 4 and 8 weeks. This comfortably covers most sales campaigns, with extensions available if your property takes longer to sell.

Is staging worth the cost?

• Higher sale prices (often tens of thousands above unstaged competition)
• Shorter time on market
• Fewer price reductions
