Q: I am staging my one bedroom apartment myself. SO far so good, but the bedroom looks cluttered and too small no matter what I do. The set is king sized and the room is 12 feet by 14. What should I do? Thanks for any tips, Eva
A: Hi Eva, If the rest of the furniture is not too large, you can save it and simply replace the bed with a queen size. You can buy a cheap air mattress to use, if it is just for show or rent a mattress if you are actually sleeping on it. Consider removing one of the nightstands, if there are 2, for added room or losing either the dresser or the chest. Hope this helps, Adam Rostocki
Q: i live in north carolina and was wondering how much i should charge as a home staging consultant? bobbi
A: Hi Bobbi, You must research your competition's fee's. market conditions and the amount of competition you have. Using this data, you should be able to come up with a fair price for your services. Start lower, you can always raise the price as you gain clients. Best, Adam Rostocki
Q: I was wondering if you had a suggestion for me- my career has been in Visual Merchandise. Recent years, the focus has been on Showroom and Special Event installations. This has involved furniture rental, prop sourcing and overall layouts. I would like to shift out of fashion and more into home staging, but I don't have any contacts in this field. Can you recommend a company I can approach? I take pride in my work and would like to be able to utilize my skills. Any advice is appreciated.Thanks! Carolyn
A: Hi Carolyn, I do not align myself with any particular firms, but suggest approaching all of them in your area. What do you have to lose? Apply for a position and bring your best skills to the table. See what they can offer you and go from there. Alternately, you can go out on your own and build your own business. Just make sure you receive any training you might need so that you are prepared to fulfill your client's most lofty expectations. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can make the transition into a new and challenging career. Best, Adam Rostocki
Q: How much will it cost me to stage my house? Billi
A: Hi Billi, It really depends on many factors, including the size of your home, the geographic location and the type of staging design you require. Of course, the type of staging you choose, be it professional or DIY will also be an important consideration. I advise reading my section on "home staging costs" for detailed information.
