When you decide to sell your home in Orlando, presentation isn’t optional; it’s essential. In today’s competitive market, professional staging can mean the difference between a listing that lingers and one that sells quickly and at top dollar. At Atipical Design Co., we specialize in full-service, end-to-end staging that is tailored for the Orlando market. In this guide, we’ll walk you through our process, explain why the Orlando area responds so strongly to staging, and show you what sellers can expect in terms of staging ROI.
Why Home Staging in Orlando Matters
Orlando’s real estate market has some unique characteristics that make staging particularly effective:
- Buyers today begin online. According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), 83 % of buyers’ agents say staging makes it easier for the buyer to envision a property as their future home.
- Homes that are staged sell noticeably faster. For example, one source says staged properties sell up to 73 % faster than unstaged homes (Home Staging Institute).
- In a vibrant market like Orlando (high traffic, lots of competition, buyers accustomed to visually-rich listings), staging helps your home stand out. Especially among buyers relocating or looking for lifestyle-ready homes.
Because of these factors, investing in home staging in Orlando, is not just a nice add-on; it’s a strategic move.
Atipical’s End-to-End Staging Process
At Atipical Design Co., we’ve refined a step-by-step process to maximise your home’s appeal, minimise time on market, and drive real seller results. Here’s how we do it:
1. Initial Consultation & Design Planning
We begin by meeting with you (or your listing agent) to understand your goals, timeline, and budget. We assess the property’s layout, condition, architectural style, and target buyer profile. For example, a family home in Windermere needs a different approach than a downtown condo. We also review photographs, floor plans, and marketing strategy to align staging with listing preparation.
2. Decluttering, Depersonalising & Preparing
Before any furnishings arrive, we help you (or your team) clear out excess items, remove personal memorabilia, neutralise bold paint colours or décor, and ensure the home is spotless and photo-ready. This foundational preparation sets the stage for the design work.
3. Furniture & Accessory Selection
Next we bring in professionally selected furniture, art, lighting, rugs, and accessories—proportioned for each room. Our design team emphasises traffic-flow, focal points, and lifestyle zones (e.g., a reading nook, home office, kids’ play area) to help buyers visualize themselves living there. Because this is Orlando, we often highlight indoor-outdoor flow, pool/lanai areas, and bright light.
4. Styling & Final Touches
The final phase: styling each space to look magazine-ready. We add fresh plants, accent pillows, curated décor, books, tray accessories, cozy throws—small details that create an emotional “yes” moment for buyers. We also ensure the home photographs well at all angles and is ready for showings immediately.
5. Listing, Showings & Tracking Results
Once the home is live, we monitor the listing’s performance: number of showings, feedback, days on market, and offers. If needed, we make adjustments (e.g., swap furniture, add accent lighting, adjust layout) to refine the staging based on live buyer response.
What Sellers Can Expect in Staging ROI
When you invest in Orlando home staging, what returns can you anticipate? Industry data gives us good benchmarks:
- The NAR reports that staging typically costs about 1% of the sale price, yet about 75% of sellers saw an ROI of 5%–15% over asking when staging was used.
- Other studies show staging can yield returns far higher—some report traditional staging ROI between 100% and 900%, and virtual staging often higher.
- Homes staged before listing and photography see fewer days on market and more online engagement. For example, one dataset showed median days on market for staged homes at 23 vs 47 for non-staged (Done & Done Home).
In practical terms, for the Orlando market, this means: if the average home is listed for, say, $500K, then spending 1% (≈ $5K) on staging could reasonably result in an additional $15K–$30K in sale price, or a faster sale, which reduces carrying costs and keeps momentum high.

Tips to Maximize Your Home Staging Success in Orlando
Here are five actionable tips if you’re selling in the Orlando market:
- Stage before listing and before photography. Early staging yields stronger first online impressions.
- Focus on high-impact rooms: living room, kitchen, master bedroom. These rooms are most influential for buyers (Home Staging Institute).
- Emphasise indoor/outdoor flow—since Orlando buyers value light, lanai areas, views, and lifestyle.
- Stick to neutral palettes and declutter. Let buyers imagine themselves in the space rather than being distracted by personal style.
Work with both your realtor and stager in tandem—effective staging is part of the full marketing strategy, not a stand-alone add-on.
