Home Staging works. It helps sell property. The more presentable a property is, the quicker it will sell. That said, the most effective way to stage is to use your own furniture, pictures, and interesting decorations (like a nice vase). Most people need to get rid of about half of their stuff....excess furniture, knick knacks, clutter. De-cluttering is key. It makes the property seem larger and well-maintained.
That said, is it cost effective to put rental furniture into a home to dress it up and kick start the imaginations of prospective buyers? I think it is a good idea on higher end properties. However, on smaller properties, I believe pricing the property correctly depending on location, square footage, and overall condition is more important. Staging is not as important as correct pricing.
Staging helps sell a property but it will not get you a lot more money, especially if the property has not been renovated lately. Buyers want SS appliances and granite countertop, wood or tile flooring in the bathrooms and kitchen.
