HouseStage by 126 Design

How it works

How HouseStage works: from staged listing to furnished home

HouseStage turns the staged home you bought into a furnished home in five steps. You open a private page from your closing card, tell us your style, budget and move-in date, and a 126 Design designer sends a room-by-room plan of real furniture sized to your floor plan. Approve it and pay a deposit online; 126 Design sources, delivers and installs everything. The team behind it has staged 1,600+ Bay Area homes since 2023.

    Staged & sold

    Every home 126 Design stages gets a private buyer page, sent by the agent or on a QR card at closing.

    AI drafts, a designer decides

    AI turns your answers and floor plan into a brief and suggests real pieces that fit each room. A 126 Design designer reviews every item.

  5. 05

    126 handles the rest

    Sourcing, white-glove delivery, installation and custom curtains, then follow-ups at 14, 30 and 60 days.

    Timed to your move-in

What you get in the proposal

  • Every room listed with each piece's photo, dimensions, finish, lead time and price.
  • Sizes checked against your floor plan, so a sofa never arrives longer than the wall.
  • Only real products: every item has a SKU, image rights and a return policy.
  • Optional 3D walkthrough of your rooms and custom curtain measurements.

After delivery

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

Questions about the process

Do I need an account?

No. The private link or QR code from your closing card opens your home's page directly. You can sign in later to see all your homes in one place.

Who designs the plan, AI or a person?

Both. AI turns your answers and floor plan into a first draft and suggests real products that fit each room. A 126 Design designer reviews and edits every item before you see it.

Can I keep exactly what was staged?

Often, yes. Choose "Keep the staging look" in the questionnaire and the designer starts from the pieces that were in your home, replacing only what is no longer available.
