STRATEGIC STAGING that helps your listings stand out and SELL WITH CONFIDENCE
With an average 5X return on investment and homes selling 19 days faster than the St. Louis average, staging with Olive + Opal is a reliable way to increase perceived value and attract stronger offers.
VACANT HOME STAGING
Vacant homes can feel cold, appear smaller, and leave buyers unsure how to interpret the space. Our vacant staging transforms empty rooms into fully realized spaces that highlight scale, flow, and architectural features. Each design is thoughtfully curated for the property and the buyer profile so the home photographs beautifully, shows confidently, and feels move-in ready from the moment buyers walk through the door

Reduces days on market and strengthens offer confidence

Most vacant staging projects average around $3,700, with pricing typically ranging from $2,800–$4,500 depending on home size, layout, and scope. Custom quotes are provided after reviewing the property details.

Occupied staging helps sellers prepare their home for the market using a strategic mix of what they already own and carefully selected staging pieces, when needed. We evaluate layout, scale, styling, and buyer expectations to create a home that feels clean, spacious, and intentionally prepared for showings.
