How it works
Our Staging Process
Every Stage One project follows the same eight steps, from the first floor plan to the final piece of furniture. Most homes are installed 2 to 3 weeks from deposit, and you see the design before anything arrives.
What we stage
Staging for Every Stage of a Property
Model Units
Staged within new developments to align with leasing or sales goals.
New Construction Homes
Townhouses and single-family homes, often with outdoor spaces.
Resale Apartments and Listings
Occupied or vacant resale properties that need a competitive edge.
Leasing Galleries and Off-Site Showrooms
Fully staged spaces that help market pre-construction units.
