Design consultation
A focused walkthrough, in person or virtual, that gives you a clear pre-listing plan: what to keep, what to remove, what to add and how to prepare each room for the camera.

A flat $1,250, credited toward staging if you go ahead.
Some homes need a full install; others need an expert eye and a precise plan. A consultation is a focused walkthrough with a Coastal Staging designer before the home goes to market.
We assess every room and the outdoor spaces, identify what will help and hurt in photos, and give you direction on furniture, art, paint, lighting and repairs, in order of impact. The fee is credited toward staging if you decide to have us do the work.

How it works.
- 01
Consultation
We walk the home, study the market and the likely buyer, and agree on the rooms and outdoor spaces that matter. Every proposal is built for the property, not from a template.
- 02
Design and curation
Furniture, textiles and art are selected to elevate the architecture and frame the view, never to compete with it. You receive a room-by-room plan and a clear price.
- 03
Installation
We deliver, place and style the whole home in 1 to 3 days, depending on its size, timed around your photographer, and stay until every detail is right for the camera.
- 04
Listing to sale
The home stays styled for showings and open houses for the rental term. When it sells, we pick everything up.
