Should nursery staging be gender-neutral?

Yes, gender-neutral staging appeals to the broadest range of buyers. Soft greens, grays, yellows, and whites work for any family. Avoid strong pink or blue themes that might not match buyer preferences.

What if the room is better as something else?

Consider your target buyer. If the home appeals to families, nursery staging is powerful. If it's more suited to professionals, a home office might be better. You can always generate both options.

What furniture is essential for nursery staging?

A crib, comfortable glider or rocker, and dresser/changing table are essential. These show the room functions as a nursery while leaving space to move around and grow.

How do I make nursery staging look realistic?

Focus on functionality over decoration. Real nurseries need changing space, feeding seating, and storage. Including these practical elements makes the staging feel authentic rather than Pinterest-perfect.
