I received so many great questions when I guest spoke on a RESA New Stager webinar that I thought I would answer some on my blog. The biggest question by far was how to build your staging inventory, so you are efficient. In this video post I give you my inventory hot tips and Amazon favorites for staging, so it's very easy for you to quick ship supplement when in dire need.
First off, let it be known that I don't advocate for you to only use Amazon for staging but you have to admit... this Amazon Prime Living Room board look pretty darn good!
The very complete living room above can be purchased for under $2000, and literally rented to clients for the same price if not more! When you know what to buy that looks great and goes well together...the purchasing becomes that much easier.
I have compiled a bunch of Amazon Influencer Idea boards (including the one above) which showcases my Favorite Amazon products for staging that are prime.
I don't just feature idea boards for staging but also for Airbnb design!
Here's a video that not only shows you my Amazon favorites list but gives you tons of tips and my best advice and pitfalls to avoid when building your inventory for staging:

I have worked in a corporate environment for many years, but the Home Staging and Redesign Certification Course was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. The training is comprehensive with a practical orientation. It is completely based on the experience and research of Audra and other stagers. They provide insights, examples and tools that were extremely helpful to develop staging and design skills and build confidence. I never expected to get so much out of an online training course!
