Creative and technical verbs are often used in connection with 'Bühnenbild' (stage set). Typical ones are 'ein Bühnenbild entwerfen' (to design a stage set), 'gestalten' (to create/design), or 'bauen' (to build).

'die Ausstattung' and 'das Bühnenbild' can both be important in theater, opera, or film. 'das Bühnenbild' mainly refers to what you see on the stage: rooms, walls, decoration, and the visible setting of the action. In this area, 'die Ausstattung' is broader. It can also include costumes and props. Learners may confuse the words because a stage set can be part of the production design. If you only mean the designed stage, 'das Bühnenbild' is more precise. If you mean the overall design of a production, 'die Ausstattung' is more natural.
Das Bühnenbild zeigte eine kleine Küche mit einem Fenster zum Hof.
The stage set showed a small kitchen with a window overlooking the courtyard.
Die Ausstattung des Films war sehr sorgfältig, sogar die alten Kostüme wirkten echt.
