1. [ purple gumbeaux ]
Based in New Orleans, LA, [ purple gumbeaux ] works as a home stager. The business has been operating for 13 years. Staging addresses the questions buyers ask when walking through, such as where the couch goes, whether a small bedroom fits a bed, and how an awkward nook might be used. Showing each room's purpose helps buyers picture living there and makes photos read clearly online. Common requests for home staging include listing photo preparation, art and accessory placement, furniture rearrangement, occupied home styling and paint color recommendations. Sellers often stage when a home is vacant, when furniture is dated or oversized, or when rooms have an unclear purpose. Share the property address, square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether the home is vacant, occupied, or partly furnished. A consultation-only service costs less than a full install, while larger homes and longer listing periods increase the furniture rental charges. Besides New Orleans, homeowners in Gretna, Arabi and Chalmette can reach out for home staging. Posted hours are Monday to Sunday, 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. Accepted payment methods include Venmo and Zelle. To get started, send [ purple gumbeaux ] a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
