By leveraging partnerships with over 35+ wholesale vendors, we’re able to cater to every budget while also offering buyers the opportunity to purchase the furnishings and décor they fall in love with—at competitive prices.

Whether you’re preparing a cozy starter home or a luxury estate, our process is designed to make staging simple, seamless, and strategically effective. Here’s what you can expect from staging day with Indianapolis’s go-to staging company.

1. The Staging Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, typically scheduled weeks ahead of professional photos. Our team conducts a walkthrough of your home or listing, notes key staging areas, takes photos, and prepares a floor plan. We’ll also share recommendations, such as deep cleaning, repairs, or exterior touch-ups, to ensure the property is a clean canvas ready to shine.

2. Confirming Your Stage

Following the consultation, we provide a personalized staging quote tailored to your property’s style, needs, and budget. Because of our vendor partnerships, we can design staging solutions for any price point without compromising quality. Once approved, a signed contract secures your project, ensuring everyone is aligned on scope, timing, and investment before furniture ever arrives.

2. Curating Your Stage Design

With the contract in place, our design team gets to work. We blend buyer psychology, current trends, and your home’s architecture to select the perfect mix of:

  • Furniture scaled to fit your home’s layout
  • Colors and textiles that enhance existing finishes
  • Accessories that feel modern, neutral, and universally appealing

Our goal: to create a warm, aspirational environment that buyers can picture themselves living in, and want to own.

3. Pull & Pack 

Next, our team virtually “walks” through your home to select and pack each item needed, from rugs and lighting to greenery, wall art, and accents. With 35+ vendor relationships, we can source furnishings across styles and price points, giving you the flexibility to stage smart while maintaining broad buyer appeal.

4. Stage Installation Day(s)

This is where the magic happens. Our professional movers unload and place furniture, while our professional stagers transform each room with textiles, art, and finishing touches. In just a few hours, your home becomes a polished, market-ready showcase. Many sellers tell us the transformation is so remarkable, they want to move back in!

5. How Long Does Staging Last?

Our staging remains in place for up to 8 weeks, or until the home sells, whichever comes first. Extensions are available month-to-month if needed. During this time, your staged home continues to add value through photos, showings, inspections, and appraisals.
