SELLING YOUR HOME WHILE LIVING YOUR LIFE

Not everyone can vacant their home during the selling process. Our styling service works with your existing furnishings to refresh and revitalize your space while you're still living there.

Unlike vacant staging where we bring in furniture, styling requires minimal overhead and focuses on strategic rearrangement, decluttering, and thoughtful presentation of your space. It's perfect for sellers who need to remain in their home throughout the listing process.

Styling is the art of showcasing your home at its absolute best using primarily what you already own. Think of it as staging-lite: we work with your existing furniture and belongings to create a space that photographs beautifully and appeals to potential buyers—all while you continue to live there.

HOW STYLING WORKS

Strategic rearrangement for maximum impact.

Our styling service begins with a thorough assessment of your home. We identify which pieces to showcase, which to store, and occasionally what to add. We'll help you highlight your home's best features while minimizing any challenges, creating a space that helps buyers form that crucial emotional connection.

If needed, we can supplement with select rental pieces that complement your existing furniture. Our goal is to create a cohesive, appealing environment that feels aspirational yet attainable to potential buyers—all with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Living in your home while selling doesn't mean sacrificing appeal. Our styling service transforms your lived-in space into a market-ready showpiece without requiring you to vacate or completely furnish an empty property.

Professional styling helps buyers see past the "lived-in" aspects of a home and focus instead on its potential. We create a balanced environment that feels both welcoming and aspirational, helping buyers envision themselves in the space even as you continue to live there.

The results speak for themselves—our clients consistently report positive feedback from buyers and agents alike, often leading to faster sales and better offers.

We maximize appeal without you moving out.

Our Process

01

Consultation

We begin with an in-person meeting to assess your space and discuss your timeline. This initial consultation helps break the ice (because yes, we're going to be touching all your things!) and establishes clear expectations for the process ahead.

02

Styling Guide

After our consultation, we'll provide a detailed styling guide tailored to your specific home. This guide outlines what items to keep out versus what to pack away, helping you prepare for the styling day. Think of it as a roadmap to presenting your home in its best light.

03

Implementation

On styling day, our team arrives to transform your space. We'll rearrange furniture, adjust decor, and optimize each room for both photography and showings. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
