Launching your home staging business means getting a few essentials in place: a great business name, a clean website, and a business card that instantly communicates your style.
Business cards might feel old-school, but in the staging world, they still matter – especially when you’re networking with realtors, builders, photographers, and homeowners.
In this blog post, we’ll walk you through what makes a home staging business card effective and share some of the best templates to get you started.
Be sure to read all the way to the bottom before committing to a business card – since we explain that there are multiple design & print services which may be able to make this job a lot more stress-free than buying and downloading a template.
Our top home staging business card designs:
Below are our top ten home staging business card templates from our favourite template marketplace Graphicriver.
1. Professional home staging business card template
This design features all the essential information in a simple format, and also has room for two images to showcase some of your work.
If you are just new to home staging, you most likely don’t have any high-quality photography to showcase on your business card, so don’t be afraid to search for images on free stock photography websites such as Unsplash.com or Pexels.com.
This particular home staging business card template heavily features an aqua/teal color in both its design and imagery. If you have Adobe Photoshop or know someone who does, you’ll easily be able to change the colours to match your brand.
Before choosing any of these templates, think about the overall impression your business card should give someone in the first two seconds. Home staging is such a visual industry that your card has to feel cohesive with your style – whether you lean modern, coastal, boho, or traditional.
A business card isn’t just contact information; it’s often the first ‘micro-portfolio’ a potential client sees, so make sure the card’s tone matches the look of your staged spaces.
2. Warm business card template
This design is a bit more modern and suits a brand that uses warmer imagery. Again, if your home staging business uses other colors, you can, of course, customize this design in Adobe Photoshop.
You’ll need a good landscape-oriented image from your home staging portfolio to use on this business card, so something like a sofa, as seen in the example, will work well.
Sometimes it can be tough finding images to fit well into such awkward landscape dimensions – that’s why one of our main suggestions when starting your home staging career is to take as many high-quality photos of your work as possible – they’ll come in handy for all sorts of reasons!
We also encourage you to take lots of photos as part of our Home Staging Certification course, and some of the assignments will require you to stage rooms at your own home. These photos are perfect for jobs like creating your marketing materials.
3. Funky business card template
This is definitely one of the more funky home staging business cards I have seen, but if it suits your brand, then why not be brave?! It doesn’t scream “elegance”, but it does portray fun, happiness, boldness, and an upbeat vibe. If these are the customers your home staging business wants to attract, then this card will achieve that!
4. Classy (but bold) business card template
Now back to something a little more classy. This business card template is modern and sophisticated, and will represent any business with a professional, confident vibe. Yes, the red is bold, but that is easily changed in Photoshop.
What if you don’t like any of these templates?
That’s ok! There are literally thousands of business card templates for home stagers available online.
- Canva has a range of business card designs you can customize and print.
- Vistaprint also has plenty of templates to choose from – although they aren’t as creative as you may like. The job thing about Vistaprint is that they’ll also handle the printing and deliver them to your door.
- A good middle ground between the above two options is Moo. They have a large number of good designs for creative industries, and they’ll also print and deliver.
You could also browse Graphicriver and look for both home staging business cards and interior design business cards, and you should be able to find something. You might also want to look at the architecture or fashion design templates, as I find these industries often have a similar look and feel to what home stagers like.
Keep in mind, with Graphic River, you’re simply downloading the template onto your computer, so you’ll need the software (and skills) to edit the files and send them to a printing company.
What information should you put on your business card?
I think less is often more, and the bare minimum you need on your home staging business car is your name, phone number, email address, and web address.
It’s a good idea to include your business logo as well, as your logo represents who you are and should be across all your customer touchpoints. This includes your invoices, quotes, letterheads, checklists, and even your car branding if you decide to go this far.
I’ve seen some brands go as far as including their home staging certification badge on their business card, which helps to provide a little bit of social proof and reassurance that the customer is choosing someone with credibility.
If you don’t have a home staging certification, then check out the range of courses here at the Home Staging Institute before designing your card.
A photo also helps to showcase the vibe of your home staging business. It’ll represent who you are in one image, and let the customer know whether you go for the modern feel, farmhouse cottage look, Scandinavian design, or any other vibe your staged houses tend to have.
Pick your photo carefully. You don’t want to go handing business cards with an ultra-modern concrete and glass image when your home staging business operates in towns with wooden cottages.
What’s next?
Since you’re getting your home staging marketing materials sorted, you should also consider your proposal templates, quote templates, and anything extra you need, like a letterhead.
