Q: Does virtual staging really work?

A: Virtual staging can absolutely work — but it depends on your goals. It’s a great marketing tool for online listings, especially when a home is vacant or under renovation. Using digital design software, we can add stylish furniture, art, and décor to listing photos so buyers can visualize the space.

That said, virtual staging only exists in photos — not in person. Once a buyer steps inside, they’re back to viewing an empty room. For that reason, we often recommend physical staging when possible. Real furnishings create an emotional connection and help buyers experience the lifestyle your home offers.

At Naples Home Staging, we offer both options and can guide you on when virtual staging makes sense — and when full or partial in-home staging will bring you the best results.
