Selling a home in the Boulder Foothills isn’t just about listing square footage; it’s about selling a lifestyle. Whether it’s a modern glass-walled retreat in Sunshine Canyon or a cozy mountain escape near Nederland, buyers in our market aren’t looking for four walls and a roof—they’re looking for a dream.
However, selling a vacant home presents a unique set of challenges. Without furniture, rooms look smaller, imperfections stand out, and most importantly, the “soul” of the home is missing. At STS Home Staging Boulder Foothills, we specialize in bridging that gap.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through our service levels and exactly what to expect when you partner with us to stage your vacant property.
It’s a common misconception that an empty house looks “cleaner” or “roomier.” In reality, 90% of buyers cannot visualize the potential of an empty space. 1. Scale and Proportion: Without a bed, is this room a Master Suite or a small guest room? Furniture provides the necessary context for size.
2. Emotional Connection: People buy on emotion and justify with logic. A cold, echoing room doesn’t evoke the feeling of “home.”
3. Hiding Flaws: In an empty room, every floor scratch and wall scuff becomes a focal point. Staging directs the eye to the home’s best features.
Expert Tip: Vacant homes typically stay on the market twice as long as staged homes and often settle for lower offers. Staging is an investment, not an expense.
Every home in the Boulder area has its own personality. We offer tiered service levels to ensure your staging fits the property’s price point and architectural style.
Ideal for condos or smaller mountain cottages, we focus on the “Money Rooms”—the areas that carry the most weight in a buyer’s decision.
Our most popular package for standard single-family homes. We expand the staging to include secondary spaces that might confuse buyers.
For high-end listings in Chautauqua or exclusive Foothills enclaves, we provide bespoke interior design-level staging.
We pride ourselves on a seamless, “white-glove” experience. Here is how we take your listing from empty to extraordinary.
We begin with a walkthrough of the property (either in person or via high-res video). We assess the architecture, the target buyer demographic, and the natural light of the Boulder landscape. Within 24 hours, you receive a custom proposal.
Once the contract is signed, our design team gets to work. We don’t use “cookie-cutter” furniture kits. We pull from our private warehouse of mountain-modern, contemporary, and transitional pieces that reflect the Boulder vibe.

This is where the magic happens. Our professional crew handles the delivery, assembly, and precise placement of every item. From large sofas to the perfect sprig of greenery in a vase, we curate the entire environment.
We don’t just “drop off furniture.” We style for the camera. We understand how wide-angle lenses work and ensure that every “hero shot” of your home looks like a page from Architectural Digest.
The Boulder Foothills market is competitive. With inventory fluctuating, your digital presence is your first “Open House.”
