From paint to the last pillow, we handle all of it
Decorating a home is a hundred decisions that have to agree with one another. We make them in order — finishes first, then furniture, then the styling that pulls it together.
Most rooms falter on proportion long before they falter on taste — a sofa a size too generous, a rug a size too modest, light gathered in a single corner. We begin there, then move through palette, material, and the few pieces that give a room its character.
This is decorating rather than renovation. No walls move. We work with the architecture you already have and the budget you set, and let the house tell us what it wants.
What it includes
It begins with an afternoon in the house — reading the light, the traffic, the way the rooms hand off to one another. From there we plan the layout, source and manage the pieces, and return to style it once everything has arrived.
Areas we serve
Throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Common questions
How much does home staging cost in Chicago?
Staging is priced per property — by the number of rooms we furnish, the square footage of those rooms, and how long the furniture stays. Once we know the room count, most listings settle into a predictable range. Your quote arrives in writing with the full term priced up front, so nothing is added at removal.
How long does it take to stage a home?
Most installs are finished in a single day, and the stretch from walkthrough to finished rooms is usually around 48 hours. We always schedule ahead of your photography date rather than after it.
Do you stage occupied homes, or only vacant ones?
Both. Vacant staging furnishes an empty property entirely from our inventory. Occupied staging works with what the home already holds — editing, rearranging, and adding a few pieces where a room asks for them — while keeping the house comfortable for the people in it.
What happens if the listing takes longer than expected?
The term simply renews by the month. If the property is still on the market when the initial term ends, we carry on at the renewal rate rather than removing and starting over.
What areas do you serve?
Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, through DuPage, Cook, and the North Shore. If your listing sits within roughly 100 miles of the city, it is almost certainly within reach.
Do I need to be there for the install?
Not at all. We need access and a scheduled window — most agents leave lockbox access and we take it from there.
Have a home that deserves more?
Send the address and a list date, and we will send a written quote — usually the same day.
