Interior Design Styles
for Virtual Staging

Match the style to the property architecture and target buyer. A 1920s Craftsman bungalow looks best with traditional or transitional staging, while a downtown loft suits industrial or modern. Our style pages include guidance on which property types pair best with each aesthetic.

Modern, contemporary, and transitional remain the top three. Japandi (Japanese-Scandinavian fusion) has grown quickly since 2023, and coastal farmhouse stays strong in sunbelt markets. Classic mid-century modern continues to perform well for homes built between 1945 and 1975.

Mixing works if done intentionally — a transitional living room with a modern kitchen, for example. Avoid mixing more than two styles in one home and keep a consistent color palette throughout. Our style guides cover complementary pairings.

NAR's 2024 staging report found that staged homes sold for 1-5% more on average. The style itself matters less than the overall effect: clean lines, neutral tones, and decluttered spaces consistently outperform personal or eccentric decor.
