Staging a home involves arranging furniture, artwork, and décor to create an inviting atmosphere and enhance the home’s appeal. Whether you are a real estate agent, homeowner, or interior designer, staging a home in New Hampshire can be a great way to make your property stand out from the competition.


When staging a home in New Hampshire, it’s important to remember that the state is known for its natural beauty and rustic charm. Utilizing natural elements, such as wood and stone, can be a great way to add warmth and character to a home. Additionally, incorporating unique furniture and artwork can help create a one-of-a-kind look.


In addition to incorporating natural elements, it’s important to consider the home’s overall flow. Moving furniture around to create a more open floor plan can help make the home feel larger and more inviting. Additionally, consider how the furniture and artwork is arranged. You want to create pathways and seating areas that are inviting and comfortable.

Finally, it’s important to consider how the home is lit. Adding lamps and other light sources can help create a cozy atmosphere and draw attention to the home’s features. Additionally, adding mirrors can help reflect light and create the illusion of a larger space.


"Staging a home is one of the best investments a seller can make – it can bring out the home's beauty and help it stand out from the competition. A well-staged home can show potential buyers how they will live in the space and can help them envision their future there," says Heidi Mahoney, Real Estate Sales Manager at Lewis Builders Development.
