Our Top 10 Staging Must Haves Every Home Needs!

We are so excited to share some of our favorite items that we use daily in our staging projects—and let’s be real, in our own homes too! These little gadgets and décor pieces have made such a difference, and we can't wait for you to try them.

Keeping your home tidy, clean, and stylish can sometimes feel like a full-time job. But with a few of these must-haves in your toolkit, you’ll be able to save time, add charm, and give your home the love it deserves, without breaking a sweat.

So without further ado, here’s our go-to list of staging essentials that we can’t live without:

Odour Absorbers

Let’s face it—after a while, we all get a little "nose blind" to how our homes smell, especially if you have kids or pets running around. These odor absorbers are lifesavers! They’re super discreet (just tuck them under furniture or inside cabinets), and they actually work. Plus, they won’t flood your home with overpowering scents like some air fresheners do. It’s the perfect way to keep your space smelling fresh without the headache.


Handheld Steamer

As much as we respect the good ol’ ironing board, we’ll admit it—ironing takes up way too much time and space. Enter the handheld steamer! This one is our go-to for staging. We bring it to every project to quickly get rid of wrinkles in linens, bedding, and curtains. It's compact, easy to use, and perfect for last-minute touch-ups. Trust us, once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.


Stain Remover

This little bottle of magic is our best friend when it comes to tackling stains, we’re not kidding. From couches to clothes to rugs, this stain remover works wonders. Seriously, it’s been a game changer for us, and we recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their home looking pristine. Every household needs this in their cleaning arsenal! Just go ahead and purchase it, you’ll thank yourself later. 

Lint Remover / Fabric Shaver

You know that annoying fabric pilling that happens on your couch or favorite throw? This tool will save you from having to buy a new one. It’s simple to use and makes fabric look brand new again. We use it to refresh furniture and textiles, and the results are always amazing.


Magic Erasers

Okay, it may sound like a given, but magic erasers are one of our secrets. They’re perfect for getting rid of those stubborn marks on walls, floors, and furniture. Just hung some art and scratched the wall? No problem! These little guys will take care of it. You’ll wonder how you lived without them.

Bed Skirt

Let’s be real—putting on a bed skirt is usually a workout. But not with this one! It’s adjustable for any bed size and super easy to fit, no heavy lifting required. Plus, it’s perfect for hiding those storage bins under the bed (or an unsightly box spring). Stylish and practical? Yes, please!

Down Alternative Comforter

This comforter is a game-changer for instantly elevating any bed. It’s soft, cozy, and comes in multiple sizes. The best part? You can switch out the cover to match the season or your mood. It's washable too, so keeping it fresh is a breeze. Perfect for adding a luxurious feel to your bedroom without breaking the bank.

Round Mirror

We love a good mirror, and this one is our go-to. It adds just the right amount of elegance and softness to any space, whether it’s above a mantle, fireplace, or dresser. It’s lightweight, easy to hang, and seriously looks like it cost a fortune. Every room needs a mirror like this.

Modern Indoor Area Rug

A cozy rug can completely transform a room, and this one is a favorite for staging. The light color brightens up the space and can make even the smallest room feel bigger. Plus, in open concept homes, it helps to define areas, making the space feel more structured and inviting.


Faux Plants

Not everyone has a green thumb (and really, who has time to keep up with plant care?), but these faux plants look so real, you won’t even notice. Every room needs a little greenery, and with these, you get all the beauty with none of the hassle. No shriveled leaves, no watering, just instant freshness.


If you’ve made it this far, your online cart is probably looking pretty full—but don’t worry, your secret’s safe with us! ;) And hey, when those packages start arriving, we’re not responsible for any sudden excitement (or explanations you’ll need to give)! Happy shopping and happy staging!
