Furnishing a San Jose home: what usually works
San Jose is where 126 Design works most. Three out of four homes we staged here were single-family houses, many of them one-story ranch and mid-century homes, plus downtown and North San Jose condos around 1,000 sq ft.
- Ranch houses often have a long living room that opens to a family room. Treat them as two zones: a sofa grouping by the fireplace and a separate TV or play area, rather than one oversized sectional.
- Most San Jose houses we staged were around 1,900 sq ft, so a full set of bedroom furniture for three or four bedrooms is usually the biggest line in the budget.
- In condos near 1,060 sq ft, a 72–80 inch sofa, a round dining table and a bed with drawers do more than a big sectional.
Interior design for new San Jose 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.
- How HouseStage works: the five steps from closing to a furnished home.
- Buy the staging furniture: keep the pieces that were in your home.
- Whole-home furniture package: every room, planned from the floor plan.
- Custom curtains: measured and installed in your home.
- Home staging for listings: for agents and sellers in San Jose.
