Furnishing a Menlo Park home: what usually works
Most of our Menlo Park projects were single-family houses, at about 2,020 sq ft at the median. Recorded sale prices were high, with a median of $3.32M, and staging stayed in place a little longer than average before destaging.
- Many Menlo Park houses have a living room, family room and dining room of similar size. Give each one a clear job so the house does not feel like three versions of the same room.
- Garden views are common. Put the main seating where you can see the yard and keep tall pieces off the window walls.
- A guest room is often the easiest place to save: a good mattress and a pair of nightstands go a long way.
Interior design for new Menlo Park homeowners
Most buyers move in with a few pieces and a long list of rooms to fill. 126 Design works from your floor plan: a designer drafts a room-by-room plan of real products with dimensions and prices, you approve it, and the same team that staged the house delivers and installs it. You can keep the staged look, change the style, or do just the rooms you need first.

- Buy the staging furniture: keep the pieces that were in your home.
- Whole-home furniture package: every room, planned from the floor plan.
