How Much Does Home Staging Cost in New Jersey?

When it comes to selling your home in today’s competitive real estate market, first impressions truly matter. Whether you're a homeowner, realtor, or investor, professional home staging is one of the most effective tools for speeding up a sale and maximizing your return. But before you commit, you're probably wondering: How much does home staging cost in New Jersey?

At LINQ Interior Staging, we believe in transparency, value, and tailored solutions. In this post, we’ll walk you through the average NJ staging pricing, the factors that influence cost, and how staging with LINQ can actually save—and make—you money.

Average Home Staging Cost in New Jersey

Staging costs can vary depending on a number of factors, but here’s a general breakdown:

Vacant Home Staging

For properties without furniture, the stager brings in everything—from sofas and beds to lighting, rugs, and artwork.

• Studio/1 Bedroom Condo: $1,800 – $2,500

• 2–3 Bedroom Home: $2,500 – $4,500

• Luxury or Larger Homes: $5,000 – $10,000+

This typically includes:

• Initial design consultation

• Furniture and accessory rental (30–60 days)

• Delivery, setup, and removal

Occupied Home Staging

When homeowners still live in the property, we work with existing furnishings, enhancing them with curated décor and layout changes.

• Consultation Only: $250 – $400

• Hands-On Styling Session: $600 – $1,200

• Partial Furniture/Accessory Add-On: Custom quoted

Occupied staging is more budget-friendly and effective when you already have good bones to work with. It’s a popular option for sellers who just need a professional eye.

What Affects Home Staging Pricing?

Your staging cost depends on a few important variables:

1. Size of the Home

Larger properties require more furniture and styling, increasing both rental and labor costs.

2. Location

Homes in high-demand markets (like Bergen, Essex, or Hudson Counties) may benefit from more premium inventory or elevated staging, which can impact pricing.

3. Scope of the Project

Do you want to stage just the living room and primary bedroom, or the entire home? Are you including outdoor areas? These details shape the final quote.

4. Rental Duration

Most staging packages cover 30–60 days. Additional time incurs an extension fee.

5. Design Complexity

Luxury homes often require higher-end inventory, custom design elements, and premium finishes.
