*National averages, not local quotes. Angi figures are from a 2026 guide updated October 2026, HomeAdvisor figures are from a 2025-data guide updated June 2026, and Fixr figures are from a guide updated January 2025. Your price depends on home size, whether the home is occupied or vacant, staging type, and how long the furniture rental runs.

What the sources say
| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (updated Oct 2026) | $1,846 national average from 414 reported projects; most pay $830 – $2,917 | Stagers often charge $300 – $700 per room; furniture rental $100 – $700 per room monthly |
| HomeAdvisor (2025 data, updated Jun 2026) | Headline: $1,846 average, $830 – $2,917; overview box: $1,849, $832 – $2,917 – two presentations disclosed, not resolved here | Corporate sibling of Angi – matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration |
| Fixr (updated Jan 2025) | $1,500 national average for consultation plus a day of staging with no furniture rental; range $1,000 – $3,000; low-end $200 (consultation only); high-end $10,000 (full-service with rentals and redesign) | Empty-home staging totals $4,000 – $6,000 |
Angi’s headline figures are presented as published; HomeAdvisor’s two presentations are disclosed without choosing between them. Fixr’s figures are separately published and older (January 2025), with no shared sourcing stated, and its average covers a differently scoped job.
Occupied vs vacant home staging
| Home status | Angi (2026) | HomeAdvisor (2025 data) | Fixr (2025) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Occupied | $1,000 – $3,000 | average $800 | $1,000 – $3,000 |
| Vacant / empty | $4,000 – $6,000 | average $2,000 | $4,000 – $6,000 |
Angi and Fixr publish matching ranges for both statuses – separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing. HomeAdvisor publishes single averages rather than ranges, a different presentation shown side by side rather than merged. Fixr notes furniture rental for an empty home adds about $1,000 to $3,000 per month over an occupied home.
Cost by staging type (Angi, 2026)
| Staging type | Average cost |

| Occupied | $1,000 – $3,000 |
| Vacant | $4,000 – $6,000 |
| Luxury | $4,000 – $10,000+ |

| Consultation, organization, and redesign | $1,000 – $2,000 |

The two publishers use different package structures; each table is presented under its own publisher’s scope.
Cost by home size
| Home size | Angi (2026) | Fixr (2025), occupied | Fixr (2025), empty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $250 – $4,500 (studio or 1-bed) | studio: $250 – $1,000; 1-bed: $500 – $1,500 | studio: $3,000 – $4,000; 1-bed: $3,500 – $4,500 |
| 2 bedrooms | part of $1,000 – $5,000 (2-3 beds) | $1,000 – $2,000 | $4,000 – $5,000 |
| 3 bedrooms | part of $1,000 – $5,000 (2-3 beds) | $1,500 – $2,500 | $4,500 – $5,500 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $1,500 – $6,000 (4+ beds) | $2,000 – $3,000 (4 beds) | $5,000 – $6,000 (4 beds) |
| Large / luxury (4,000+ sq. ft.) | $4,500 – $10,000+ | not listed | not listed |
The publishers tier home size differently, so the columns are presented side by side as published rather than merged.
Furniture rental costs
| Scope | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Per room, monthly | $100 – $700 | Angi (2026) |
| Per room, monthly | $500 – $600 (about $2,000 per month total on average) | HomeAdvisor (2025 data) |
| Room (Fixr, 2025) | Monthly rental |
|---|---|
| Office | $50 – $300 |
| Kitchen | $50 – $300 |
| Dining room | $100 – $500 |
| Living room | $200 – $700 |
| Bedroom | $250 – $700 |
The per-room ranges diverge between the two publishers and are presented as published. Fixr’s per-room figures are shown by room only, because its guide also lists a different general rental range.
