How We Work

Rooms in Bloom has a highly successful and effective method of getting properties market-ready. Our innovative and highly creative staging solutions focus on improving a property's overall value and presentation. Our recomemndations are all real estate based, taking into account who the next buyer of the property will likely be and we tailor our marketing & merchandising plans to ensure the property showcases the lifestyle these buyers aspire to have.

Our experienced RE Marketing consultants consider each and every room within the home and make recommendations that – if followed – will add value to the property and make it highly saleable. If you are going to be selling your home and want Rooms in Bloom to be your Staging Partner, here is how we work.

Home Staging Consultations

Consultations are the cornerstone of our custom marketing solutions for our clients and the starting point to creating a PLAN to get a property market-ready. Home Staging is a 2 step process involving both the preparation and merchandising of the home. During a consultation, we will create a comprehensive plan for the home which will address all of the following:

Preparation

• Curb Appeal & Outdoor Living Spaces
• De-Cluttering & Organization
• Deferred Maintenance Issues
• Color Palettes to create Broad Appeal
• Smart Upgrades with a great Return on Investment

Merchandising

• Room Function
• Furniture Layout
• Lighting Plan
• Layering in decor, textures and pops of colors to maximize the impact of each space
• Vignette merchandising for bathrooms, kitchens and transitional spaces

Consultations can last up to 2 hours depending on the size of the home and are the key to properly preparing a house for sale. We leave our clients with a complete list of recommendations they can either implement on their own, or hire our team to implement on their behalf. Many of the recommendations we make cost no money to do and yet can drastically improve the overall value of a property! Our experienced consultants provide expert guidance and give our clients the confidence to make important changes to improve the overall saleability of their homes.

All consultations are booked online. 

Consultations Flat Fee: $225 + HST*

E-Consultation 

For clients who do not have the time to meet for a regular staging consultation or who live outside our coverage area, we offer e-consultations.

An e-consultation covers the same components as a regular staging consultation however we provide additional written information to help guide our clients through the preparation process. From detailed recommendations to floorplan drawings, we give you all the help you need to stage your home yourself.

E-Consultations require both our standard questionnaire be filled out by the home owner and photographs of the home be provided. For more information, please contact our office at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

All consultations are booked online.

E-Consultation Flat Fee: $300 + HST

Staging Hours

Once a consultation has been completed, our RE Marketing Consultants can be hired to stage your home using your own furnishings. With both half day and full day options, this is an affordable and highly effective merchandising solution for home owners who have modern furnishings but who need assistance in creating beautiful and marketable spaces.

Staging hours are booked on both half day and full day time slots.

Half day Pricing: $500 + HST

Full day Pricing: $900 + HST

Staging hours are booked once the consultation is complete. Please contact our office to book a block of staging time.

Staging Solutions & Rentals

As Kitchener-Waterloo's leading experts in staging homes, Rooms in Bloom has an extensive inventory of modern furniture, artwork, decor and more which helps us create distinctive and highly marketable spaces for our clients. Additionally, we also have established partnerships with the region's top furniture suppliers from which our Consultants will source furnishings in keeping with our custom marketing plans that are tailored to the style and calibre of your home. Accessory rentals start at $500 + HST for the initial 4-week term. Additional to any rentals are staging fees and furniture delivery fees. Our minimum package is $1,000 + HST and this includes a half day of staging time and our minimum accessory rental fee. Please note this does not include furniture. Your consultant will customize a staging solution for your property once the consultation is complete!

Note: Either a staging consultation or vacant property assessment is required prior to receiving a firm staging quote. Our consultants can give a pricing range over the phone or via email but we don't guarantee that this will be accurate until we have seen the property. Please contact us to get started! 

 Let's Get Started!

Rooms in Bloom offers customized staging packages for both owner-occupied and vacant homes. Typically owner-occupied properties require just accessorizing as they already have all the necessary furniture to stage each space. When that isn't the case, we offer furniture & decor solutions that will ensure each space is both functional and highly appealing. As we are a full service staging company, all of our packages include the necessary furniture & accessories to properly showcase a space. 

Our staging quotes include:

• Furniture & Decor Rental of all items needed to add the WOW Factor to each space in the property. As a full service home staging company, we select all the furnishings needed to effectively showcase the key selling areas in a home. Rentals are all based on our minimum 4-week rental period. Please note that as a full service home staging company we create the complete staging & marketing plans for each space we stage and do not offer just furniture rentals.
• Staging Fees for our team to create a marketing plan to best showcase the home, select all the furnishings & install them into the house/condo on Staging Day. This fee also covers de-staging once the home has sold.
• Furniture & Decor Delivery and Pick Up on your Staging Day

Note: A staging consultation is required prior to receiving a firm staging quote. Please contact us to get started! 

Professional Trade Referrals

Rooms in Bloom has formed strong partnerships with many established and experienced home service professionals. At a client’s request, we can offer referrals for painters, landscapers, contractors, cleaners and more. Our partners offer Rooms in Bloom clients affordable pricing on all renovation projects.
