HouseStage FAQ: plans, payment, delivery, privacy and apps

HouseStage gives every buyer of a Bay Area home staged by 126 Design a private page for that home. From it you can ask to keep the staging look or get a new furniture plan, approve it, pay a deposit, and have 126 Design deliver and install everything.

HouseStage is operated by Anureka Inc.. Design, sourcing, delivery and installation are provided by 126 Design (One Two Six Design), a Bay Area staging company based in Santa Clara that has staged 1,600+ homes since 2023.

The San Francisco Bay Area. 126 Design has staged homes in 77 cities, most often in San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Redwood City, Saratoga, San Mateo, Menlo Park, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Los Gatos, Fremont, Los Altos.

AI drafts, a designer decides. AI turns your questionnaire and floor plan into a first draft with real products that fit each room. A 126 Design designer reviews and edits every item before the proposal reaches you.

Often, yes. Choose “Keep the staging look” in the questionnaire. The designer starts from the pieces that were in your home and replaces anything no longer available with a similar piece, marked in the proposal.

A room-by-room list of real products. Every item has a SKU, dimensions, finish, lead time, price, licensed product images and its return policy.

Sizes are checked against your home's floor plan, room by room, so a sofa is never longer than the wall it goes on. Ask the designer if you want a specific clearance checked.

Not until the designer confirms them in writing. Until then, prices and lead times in a proposal are estimates, because suppliers change stock and pricing.

Yes. Custom curtains can be added to your plan. 126 Design measures the windows and installs them with the rest of the furniture.

By credit card, Zelle or check. Card payments go through a secure Stripe page; the HouseStage app and website never see or store your card number.

The deposit and the payment schedule are written in your proposal before you approve it. Nothing is ordered until you accept the plan and pay the deposit.

It depends on the product, so each item's return policy is listed next to it in the proposal. Read it before you approve.

126 Design's own team. They bring the pieces in, assemble and place them, and hang curtains. Delivery is scheduled around your move-in date, and each item's lead time is in your proposal.

126 Design follows up at 14, 30 and 60 days to fix anything that is not right, such as a missing part, a damaged finish or a piece that does not work in the room.
