Welcome to SB HOME STAGING & DESIGN, the trusted name in home staging and interior design in Columbus, Ohio. We help homeowners, real estate agents, and investors transform properties into beautiful, market-ready spaces that sell faster and for top dollar.

Below are answers to the most common questions about home staging, design, and how we can help you maximize your home’s potential.

Q1: What is home staging?

Home staging is the strategic art of preparing and styling a property to make it irresistible to buyers. At SB HOME STAGING & DESIGN, we use curated furniture, décor, and layout techniques to highlight your home’s best features — creating an emotional connection that inspires offers!

Q2: Why should I stage my home before selling?

In Columbus and the surrounding Central Ohio market, professionally staged homes sell faster and often for 10–20% more than unstaged properties. Staging helps buyers visualize living in your space, which gives your home a competitive advantage both online and in person.

Q3: What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve Columbus, Ohio, and the surrounding communities, including:
Dublin, New Albany, Westerville, Worthington, Powell, Hilliard, Grove City, Upper Arlington, Gahanna, and Delaware County.

Q4: What types of staging services do you offer?

• Vacant Home Staging: We fully furnish and style empty properties to create warmth and appeal.

• Occupied Home Staging: Perfect for sellers still living in their home — we blend your existing furnishings with our inventory for a polished and refreshed look.

• Interior Design: Rethinking and transforming your home space into something fresh and functional. Your home should be a reflection of your style and personality. We focus on multi-room designs, full home renovations, new builds and commercial spaces.

• Consultations: We provide consultations for Staging Services and Interior Design. Personalized guidance for décor, paint colors, furniture layout, and design strategy.

• Commercial & Model Home Design: Creating welcoming and professional interiors for medical centers, offices, and model homes.

Q5: How much does home staging cost in Columbus, Ohio?

Every project is unique. Costs depend on factors like home size, location, and staging scope. On average, vacant staging in Columbus ranges between $1,500–$5,000, but we provide custom quotes after a walkthrough or virtual consultation. We itemize the cost of staging by room plus the staging/destaginge fee. Think of staging as an investment — one that often delivers a significant return when your property sells faster and for more.

Q6: How long does the staging process take?

After the consultation, most projects can be staged within 1–2 weeks depending on your schedule. We handle the planning, delivery, setup, and styling, allowing you to focus on your sale or listing launch. The staging itself usually take 3 - 8 hours depending on the size of the property.

Q7: Can I live in my staged home?

Absolutely. Our occupied staging services are designed for homeowners who remain in their property during the selling process. We use your pieces combined with select inventory to enhance your home’s flow and appeal — without major disruption.
