Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive an email confirmation outlining the details of how to submit these photos, as well as how to connect to your virtual consultation and what you need to be prepared for your meeting.

• Your home stager will meet with you via Zoom to tour your home and review the recommendations.

• Following the virtual consultation, you will receive a report, outlining the recommendations discussed at your virtual consultation.

furniture and decor rentals - how it works

At BTSH we uniquely own all rental inventory, and avoid dealing with outside suppliers. This allows us more flexibility with style, pricing, and rental terms. Many think of renting staging items only for vacant homes, but that’s not always the case. With no minimum rentals, you can rent as little or as much as you require (no minimum applies to homes that hire BTSH for a full home staging consultation only - some conditions apply). It can be as simple as a few pieces of artwork and accessories, to full rooms of furniture. Pricing will vary depending on what is rented, and includes rental and service fees (service fees include time required to create staging plan, plus select, pack, prepare, and install staging items, and return for destaging). Have an unfurnished and unoccupied property? BTSH is an expert in vacant home staging!

What makes us different? BTSH is committed to the quality of our designs, and our service. Hire BTSH to stage your home, and receive up to two months of furniture, artwork, and/or accessory rentals for the price of one. We’re so confident that your home will sell quickly, that you won’t require the second month of rentals, which is why we promise that if we are hired to stage your home, and it doesn’t sell in the first month, your second month of rentals is FREE!** We call it our "Peace of Mind Clause".

Not sure if you need to rent? Visit the Home Staging FAQs page for some examples of why to rent

**Applies only to jobs where BTSH has been hired to perform full staging services, including consultation. Realtor listed homes only.
