Ready, Set, Stage: What Sellers Need to Know About Home Staging
When it comes to selling a home, first impressions happen fast—often before buyers even step inside. That’s where strategic home staging comes in.

At Get Refurnished, we partner with top Ottawa-area realtors to transform properties into warm, inviting homes. With expert staging guidance and the city’s best selection of stylish rental furniture, we help listings stand out and sell faster.

1. Make a Memorable First Impression
Staging isn’t just about filling space—it’s about crafting a visual story that buyers connect with. With our professional advice, sellers and agents highlight key features like natural light, flow, and layout using well-placed furniture and accessories.

2. Declutter & Reset the Tone
Buyers want to see potential, not clutter. We recommend removing personal items and excess belongings to create a clean, neutral canvas. Then, our staging experts introduce stylish rental furnishings that enhance the space and significantly influence the overall presentation—helping buyers envision the lifestyle they’re searching for. If premium rentals are needed to elevate the look and feel of the home, Get Refurnished offers Ottawa’s leading selection.

3. Stage Strategically
Not every room needs staging, but certain spaces make the biggest impact:
• Living Room – Suggests comfort and lifestyle
• Primary Bedroom – Evokes retreat and relaxation
• Dining Area/Kitchen – Highlights functionality and togetherness
We collaborate with realtors to focus on the zones that truly drive buyer interest.

4. Style With Quality & Purpose
Our inventory includes a wide range of rental pieces—from contemporary and transitional to timeless classics—ensuring a tailored look for every property. The right furniture layout enhances flow, scale, and overall appeal without overwhelming the space.

5. Timing Is Everything
Schedule staging before listing and photography. A well-staged home not only shows better in person—it photographs beautifully, increasing online traffic, showings, and offers.

6. Emotional Connection = Better Offers
Great staging creates a mood buyers respond to. A cozy reading nook, a beautifully styled table, or a peaceful bedroom can spark emotional connection—and that leads to faster sales and stronger offers.

Final Thoughts
Staging is one of the most effective tools a seller can use. With expert advice and thoughtfully chosen rental furnishings from Get Refurnished, your home becomes a space buyers can truly see themselves in. That’s not just styling—it’s strategy.
