How long does the average redesign or staging take?

On average, 3-5 hours. The amount of time spent redesigning or staging depends on the size of the house, the number of rooms to update, and the amount of furnishings to work with.

Do I need to be home during the redesign or staging?

We require that the homeowner is not home during the project for the following reasons:
    1) to heighten the excitement and anticipation,
    2) to allow us to completely focus and concentrate on the project,
    3) to minimize cost with efficient utilization of our time, and
    4) the process may be emotional to watch.

Are your redesign and staging services cost effective?

Yes. Interior redesign is an affordable alternative to interior design. In a redesign, we are using what you already have so there is no need to purchase additional furniture or accessories. In staging, our goal is to use your existing furniture and accessories to achieve the model home feel that appeals to buyers. This is much more cost effective than reducing the asking price thousands of dollars and staged houses typically sell faster and for more money than houses that have not been staged.

How do I know if a redesign is right for me?

Redesign is the perfect solution if you:
    1) like your furnishings but are tired with the existing room layout,
    2) are confused as to how to pull a room together,
    3) would like your room to be more spacious, warm and inviting, and
    4) keep buying accessories or furniture to complete a look, but it just isn’t working.

Do you stage vacant properties?

Yes. The larger items (sofa, loveseat, dining room sets, bedroom sets, etc.) are rented from a local furniture rental store. Star Interior Solutions has an inventory of accessories to complete the project that are also available for rental.

When should a property enhancement consultation occur?

This should occur as soon as you decide to sell your house. This allows you time to complete the items suggested during the consultation so your house is ready for photographs for the listing, for virtual tour filming and before any open houses – all key items in the marketing of your house for sale.
