Staging vs. Interior Design
What is staging?
The purpose of staging your home is to create an inviting environment that appeals to the most number of prospective buyers. The majority of buyers begin their home search on line. Our goal is catch the buyers eye and have them click on your listing. Together, our focus is to entice viewers to come and view your property.

Staging isn't about your personal style. This is where staging and interior design differ. In staging, we create an atmosphere that is not specific to one look of decorating or a particular lifestyle. We need to show prospective buyers that they can make your property their own.
