Finding quality, stylish, and budget-friendly furnishings for student housing and senior living facilities doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In fact, the entire process can be seamless, affordable, and tailored to the unique needs of residents at every stage of life. That’s exactly what Set The Stage Northwest Arkansas (STS NWA) delivers. With turnkey furnishing solutions designed for dorms, student apartments, senior living, and assisted living communities, we take the stress out of furnishing so you can focus on what matters—welcoming people home.
Whether you’re preparing a University of Arkansas student’s first dorm or updating an assisted living suite in Rogers or Bentonville, STS NWA ensures that comfort, functionality, and affordability come together beautifully.
Why Turnkey Furnishing Matters for Dorms, Student Living & Senior Living
Turnkey furnishing is more than just “furniture delivery.” It’s a complete, fully managed service that handles design, sourcing, setup, installation, and finishing touches. For student living centers and senior communities, this streamlined approach saves time, reduces costs, and ensures spaces are move-in ready from day one.
A Growing Need for Furnishings That Work Harder
Student housing communities continue to expand nationwide, and Northwest Arkansas is no exception. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, university enrollment in the U.S. increased by over 9% in the last decade—driving demand for student housing with modern, functional furnishings. Meanwhile, the senior living sector continues to grow as well; the U.S. Census Bureau reports that adults aged 65+ will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history by 2034, increasing the need for safe, comfortable, and well-equipped residential environments.
This means one thing: dorms, student apartments, assisted living, and senior living facilities need affordable, durable, move-in-ready furnishings that support resident comfort and daily lifestyle.
That’s exactly where STS NWA excels.

Whether you need one room furnished or an entire building outfitted, our cost-effective packages take the guesswork (and heavy lifting) off your plate.
Furnishing for College Dorms & Student Living
Northwest Arkansas has a thriving student community, especially with the University of Arkansas drawing thousands of new students each year. Furnishing spaces for students—including dorms, on-campus apartments, off-campus shared housing, and student living complexes—requires pieces that are:
- Durable
- Functional
- Easy to clean
- Compact and space-smart
- Appealing to modern students
- Extremely budget friendly
STS NWA helps housing coordinators, parents, and property managers create spaces that students love coming home to—with packages that include essentials like:
Student Living Essentials:
- Loft-compatible beds and mattresses
- Sturdy desks + ergonomic chairs
- Multi-functional storage solutions
- Apartment-sized sofas
- Dining sets for small spaces
- Accent pieces that feel youthful and modern
Why Turnkey Makes a Difference for Student Housing
Students move fast. Leases change annually. And property managers often have tight turnover windows.
Turnkey furnishing eliminates downtime because STS NWA handles:
- Entire apartment or dorm setup in a single day
- Furniture selection that fits tight student budgets
- Space planning for small rooms or shared spaces
- Short-notice installs (because life happens!)
With student housing demand increasing, especially around Fayetteville and the UofA, having ready-made, stylish, durable units helps maintain higher occupancy rates and happier residents.
Furnishing for Senior Living & Assisted Living Communities
Senior living apartments have very different needs than student spaces—and STS NWA understands the unique challenges of designing for seniors.
Comfort, accessibility, mobility support, and safety are the top priorities.
Senior Living Essentials:
- High-back seating with stable arm support
- Bedroom sets designed for accessibility
- Soft, layered lighting
- Safety-minded furniture placement
- Easy-to-maintain fabrics
- Warm, home-like décor that creates comfort and familiarity
Why Turnkey Furnishing is Ideal for Senior Living Centers
Assisted living and senior housing communities face similar challenges to student housing:
- Quick turnover between residents
- Multiple units needing identical or near-identical furnishing
- Need for durable, high-quality pieces
- Need for cohesive, welcoming design
- Tight budgets and timelines
Turnkey furnishing solutions from STS NWA allow facilities to focus on care, not furniture logistics.
We create fully furnished senior apartments and suites that feel like home—calming, functional, comfortable, and personalized.
