We specialize in custom design that reflects the architectural style and personality of each property. Our designs are curated with a boutique approach, meaning that each space is treated as a one-of-a-kind project, rather than a cookie-cutter solution.

We focus on creating inviting, emotionally compelling environments that help buyers visualize themselves living in the space. Our lead designer is passionate about transforming homes—not just staging them. We also offer a personalized, hands-on service that larger staging companies may not be able to provide, ensuring that every detail is tailored to make your property stand out in a competitive market. Whether it’s a luxury listing or a cozy condo, we approach every project with the same level of care and creativity.

How much time in advance do I need to schedule staging?

We recommend scheduling your staging at least 2-3 weeks in advance to ensure we can secure the necessary inventory and coordinate our schedule. However, if you're working with a shorter timeline, please contact us, and we will see if we can accommodate your needs.

What is your process from first contact to completion?

Here’s an overview of how our home staging process works:

  1. Contact us. Fill out our basic form and tell us about the size, location and scale of your property that needs staging. We will call you to discuss your project and schedule an initial walk-through. Please allow up to 36-48 hours for us to meet with you after your initial contact.

  2. Initial Walk-Through: This on-site meeting should take no more than an hour. It is ideal for the homeowner or agent hiring us to be present with us to discuss your goals for the space, your style preferences, and timeline.

  3. Proposal & Quote: After assessing your property, we will provide you with a customized quote based on your home’s size, style, and staging needs.

  4. Contract & Deposit: You will need to sign our contract and pay a 50% deposit up front so we can reserve your staging date and start curating your customized staging inventory and selections. Your balance is due before we move staging into your property.

  5. Staging Day: On staging day, our team will deliver and professionally install the furniture and décor. We ensure the space is styled to perfection and ready for photos and showings upon our departure. However, we highly suggest you do not schedule listing photos until the next day just in case we encounter any unexpected delays on the day of your stage.

  6. Ongoing Rental & De-Staging: If the property is not sold right away, we offer optional ongoing rental options to keep the space staged, which will be outlined in your personalized quote. Once your property sells, we will return to de-stage the home, removing all furniture and décor.

What types of homes do you work with?
We work with a wide range of property types, including:

  • Single-family homes of all ages and styles

  • Condos, townhomes and apartment models

  • Rental properties

  • New construction homes and historic character homes

  • Vacant properties

  • Mid-century modern homes

We specialize in staging homes that reflect your property’s unique character and style. Whether it’s a cozy starter home or a high-end luxury estate, we can create a tailored design that appeals to your target buyers.

What if my home is already furnished? Do I need full staging?

We do not stage occupied or partially furnished homes.

In these cases, consider our popular 2-hour design consultation service. During this service, our lead designer will recommend layout changes, color palette adjustments, and ideas both big and small that can elevate your space and make it more marketable. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to follow-through with these recommendations when the appointment is over.

Do I need to be present during the staging process?

Our team can work most efficiently if no one else is present during the installation. Our team will manage all aspects of the installation, from delivery to setup, so you can focus on other tasks.

How long does it take to stage a home?

The staging process typically takes 4-6 hours start to finish, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the staging design. Larger homes or more intricate designs may take longer, but we always ensure that the job is done to perfection within a reasonable time frame. We recommend that you do not schedule photography of the home until at least the day after our scheduled stage.

What if I need to change the staging or add more furniture later?

We understand that needs can change. If you would like to adjust or add to the staging during the rental period, simply reach out to us, and we’ll discuss available options and their related fees. We aim to be flexible and responsive to ensure that your home always presents its best features.

What happens if my home doesn’t sell right away?

Our goal is to help you get your home sold as quickly as possible. If your home doesn’t sell within the first month, we offer monthly rental options to keep the property staged. Your ongoing monthly rental fee is outlined in your customized staging quote.

Do you charge for the removal of the furniture (de-staging)?

Yes, we do charge a de-staging fee, which covers the labor and transportation costs for removing the furniture and décor once your home is sold. The fee depends on the size of the home, the number of rooms staged, and the location/logistic of the property. Your quote will not itemize this cost. All fees associated with moving the furniture in and out are grouped together into one flat fee. What you see on your quote is what you pay—no surprises.

What if I need staging for multiple properties or an entire development?

We offer discounted rates for multiple properties or large-scale projects like multi-unit developments. Please reach out to discuss your needs, and we will provide a customized quote based on the scope of the project.

Can I see photos of your previous work?

Absolutely! Feel free to browse our website or request additional photos via email. We’re happy to provide examples of how our designs have helped properties sell faster and for higher prices.

Do you offer any additional services, like design consultations or home makeovers?

Yes, in addition to staging, we also offer design consultations for homeowners looking to refresh their spaces. Whether you need help with color selection, furniture layout, renovation design or curb appeal, we’re here to guide you through the process.

 Do you offer discounts for repeat clients or referrals?

Yes, we truly value the relationships we build with our clients, and we want to reward those who continue to trust us with their staging needs. For repeat clients, we offer special loyalty discounts on future staging projects to show our appreciation for your ongoing business.

Additionally, we have a referral program where you can earn discounts or even free services for referring us to friends, family, or colleagues who are looking to sell their homes. When you refer a client who books a staging with us, you’ll receive a 10% discount on your next staging, or another special offer depending on the scope of the project.

We’re grateful for your support and excited to help more homeowners achieve their goals of selling quickly and for top dollar!
