More enquiries from empty homes
A furnished room gives buyers scale, flow and feeling. Staged listings stop the scroll on PropertyPal and PropertyNews where a bare room gets skipped.
Virtual Staging
Photoreal digital furniture that turns empty, tired or probate rooms into homes buyers can picture themselves in, from a single photograph and ready for PropertyPal, PropertyNews and HomesNI.
An empty room is hard to sell. Buyers scrolling PropertyPal struggle to judge scale, see where a sofa goes or feel any warmth, so they scroll past. Virtual staging fixes that without moving a single piece of furniture. We furnish the room digitally, photoreal and true to the space, so the listing feels like a home rather than a shell.
Phantom stages property for estate agents and developers right across Northern Ireland, from new-build apartments in Belfast to empty and probate homes in the country. Working from one good photograph of each room, we add furniture, soft furnishings and styling that suit the property and the price point. It is far faster and a fraction of the cost of hiring and installing physical furniture, with nothing to move out before completion.
Every staged image is clearly labelled as virtually staged when we deliver it, so you can market with confidence and stay on the right side of consumer-protection rules and portal guidelines.

Any room Empty, tired or dated
More viewings. Faster offers. Less admin.
Faster offers on new builds
Developers can market off-plan and unfurnished units as finished homes, helping buyers commit sooner rather than waiting for a show home.
Far cheaper than physical staging
No furniture hire, no delivery, no installation and nothing to remove before the sale completes. Virtual staging delivers the same effect for a fraction of the spend.
Wins instructions on tricky stock
Probate and tired homes are exactly the listings vendors worry about. Showing the potential helps you win the instruction and justify the asking price.
Clearly labelled and compliant
We flag every staged image as virtually staged so buyers are never misled, keeping your firm compliant with consumer-protection rules and portal guidelines.
Consistent across the development
Style every unit to the same standard and the same look, so a whole scheme or branch presents as one polished agency.

Virtual Staging, answered
How much does virtual staging cost in Northern Ireland?
It is priced per room and is far cheaper than physical furniture hire, with no delivery or installation. Most agents stage two or three key rooms per listing, with branch and volume packages available. Talk to the studio for a quote.
Do virtually staged photos have to be labelled?
Yes. To avoid misleading buyers, staged images must be clearly marked as virtually staged on the listing. This keeps you compliant with consumer-protection rules and portal guidelines, so Phantom labels and flags every staged image as standard before delivery.
How long does virtual staging take?
Standard turnaround is around 48 hours from receiving the photos. If you have a vendor deadline or a launch date, tell us at the start and we will prioritise it.
What kinds of property is it best for?
Empty homes, new builds and off-plan units, probate sales and tired or dated interiors all benefit most, because virtual staging shows the space at its best without any physical work.
Can you stage from my own photographs?
Yes, as long as each room is shot well lit and reasonably straight. For the cleanest result we recommend pairing virtual staging with a Phantom photography shoot so the base images are consistent.
