Home Styling & Staging Basics

Live well. 

When you experience a beautifully styled home after organizing this is the cherry on top! Imagine a world where your spaces are calm, relaxing, functional and you love the freedom in your life.

Thoughtful decor and clutter-free spaces allow this vision to be your reality. My "north star" is to help you uncover exactly what this means for you.

The principles of styling your home versus staging to sell are quite opposite. Styling your home focuses on:

• Your personality, taste or style
• Says something about you
• Personal
• Enhances function
• Matches your lifestyle

Sell wisely. 

The basic steps to stage your home are the same as styling however, the principles behind staging to sell your home are quite different.

• Focus on the potential home buyer
• Declutter, declutter, declutter
• Impersonal
• Enhance features
• Not taste specific
