Whole-home furniture packages for Bay Area homes, sized to your floor plan

A HouseStage whole-home furniture package is a room-by-room plan of real furniture chosen for your specific house, not a preset bundle. A 126 Design designer works from your floor plan's room sizes, your style and your budget, and can start from the staging you saw when you bought the home. You approve every item, then 126 Design orders, delivers and installs it all across the Bay Area.

Store packages vs. a package planned for your house

Most "whole house furniture package" deals are bundles from one store's catalog. They work if your rooms happen to match the showroom. Bay Area homes rarely do: a 1960s ranch in Sunnyvale, a Mountain View townhouse and a San Francisco condo all have different walls, windows and walkways. Here's how the two approaches compare.

What a package can include

  • Living room: sofa or sectional, lounge chairs, coffee and side tables, rug, lighting, media console.
  • Dining: table and chairs sized to the room, sideboard, pendant or chandelier.
  • Bedrooms: bed frames, nightstands, dressers and lamps.
  • Home office: desk, chair, storage and task lighting.
  • Finishing pieces: art, mirrors, plants, throw pillows, and custom curtains measured at the house.

You pick the rooms. A package can be the whole house or the three rooms you need before move-in day.

How it works

  1. Open your buyer page. Your agent sends a private link, or it's on the QR card you get at closing.
  2. Answer a short questionnaire. Style, budget, move-in date, who lives there and which rooms come first. It takes about five minutes.
  3. Get a room-by-room proposal. AI drafts it from your answers and floor plan; a designer edits and approves it. Each item shows a photo, dimensions, finish, lead time and price.
  4. Approve and pay a deposit online. Swap or remove anything first.
  5. Delivery and installation. 126 Design places the orders and brings everything in on a schedule that works with your move. See white-glove delivery.

Start from the staging, if you liked it

Plenty of buyers fall for a house partly because of how it was staged. Since 126 Design staged the home, we know exactly which pieces were in each room. You can keep that look, keep a few favorites, or start over. Read more on buying the staging furniture and what happens to it after the sale.

Planning a budget

The median home 126 Design has staged is about 1,765 sq ft. Our guide on the cost to furnish a house in the Bay Area breaks a home that size down room by room. If you're still deciding what to buy first, start with the new home furnishing checklist.

Questions about whole-home packages

How is this different from a furniture store's whole-house package?

A store package is a fixed bundle from one catalog: a sofa set, a dining set, a bedroom set. Ours is planned for your house. A 126 Design designer picks each piece for each room using the room sizes from your floor plan, so the sectional fits the wall it's going on and the dining table leaves room to pull out chairs.

Can I furnish just a few rooms instead of the whole house?

Yes. In the questionnaire you mark which rooms matter first. Many buyers start with the living room, the primary bedroom and a home office, then add the rest later.

Can the package match the staging I saw when I bought the house?

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

How much does a whole-home furniture package cost?

There is no fixed package price, because no two plans are the same. Your proposal lists every item with its price, so you can drop, swap or add pieces before you approve. For typical room-by-room budgets, see our guide on what it costs to furnish a Bay Area house.

Who can get a package through HouseStage?

HouseStage pages are set up for homes 126 Design has staged, because that's where we already have the floor plan and the staging inventory. If your home wasn't one of them, contact 126 Design directly and ask about furnishing it.
