"I was matched with Lily in the site after requesting assistance with design services following remodeling work in our townhouse. Lily is fantastic to work with. We engaged with her both on an hourly consulting basis and for a design project to lay out our main level. The personal service, her availability, and above all her design were phenomenal. The highly interactive process allowed Lily to really get to understand my personal style and inspiration and reflect that back in the ultimate design she presented. In everything from floor layout to furniture, light fixture accessory selection to paint colors and the flow through the whole space to tie it all together, we couldnâ t be more pleased. Her Zbox option is a really unique approach that was both cost effective and perfect for what we needed, and also highly detailed, thorough and personal. She really â gotâ the style and feel we were trying to achieve without knowing how to get there ourselves. Iâ ve already shared her name and contact information with 5 different colleagues and friends. I highly recommend working with Lily!"

"My initial plan was to modernize my home but I wasn’t sure where to start and what to do, but after consulting with Alvaro Pardo and KREA Designs, he designed new finishes and proposed a full renovation project tailored to my budget. It took me some time to warm up to the idea of making bigger changes, but he was incredibly patient throughout the process. I renovated my bedroom, bathroom, living room and made small changes in the hall and kitchen. His contractors were kind, professional, and respectful, especially Harold Mendez, his carpenter, who created elegant and customized furnitures. Alvaro kept me updated about the progress of the renovation and took care of everything, so I didn’t have to worry, but consulting me any changes or last minute decisions. He was also very open to feedback, including suggestions from my family. I’m very happy with the results, and my place now looks modern and cozy. I would recommend KreA to anyone without hesitation."

Residential Design FAQs, answered by experts

Costs depend on home size, number of rooms staged, duration of staging, and furniture rental needs.

It is usually worth it to hire an interior decorator, especially if you want your home to have cohesiveness and look like it belongs in a catalog. Interior decorators can be quite expensive, but decorating isn’t an ongoing cost, so you can expect to pay once for the service rather than on an ongoing basis. Interior decorating can be especially worthwhile if you’re selling your home, as house staging can make your property feel more welcoming and help buyers envision themselves living in the space.

Professional home staging services can vary between companies and properties, but the primary goal is to set up a house with aesthetic furniture and decor to entice potential buyers. Many stagers offer customizable packages, and you can often pay for additional services. Common offerings include:

  • Design and Planning: Color design, planning each room's layout, and professional interior design services.

  • Furniture and Decor: Choosing and renting furniture, decor, and artwork. This also includes the setup and takedown of all rented materials.

  • Arrangement and Organization: Rearranging existing furniture, decluttering, and organizing the space.

  • Ambiance: Creating a welcoming atmosphere with strategic lighting and accessories.

  • Repairs and Maintenance: Minor repairs, home maintenance, and addressing visible issues.

  • Curb Appeal: Improving the home's exterior with services like painting and garden bed management.

It's best to connect with a professional home stager to see what’s included in their specific packages or to request a custom service.

Services include layout planning, furniture selection, color coordination, and lighting design to optimize your space.

A garage counts toward the official square footage of a house if it is considered livable space. For a garage to qualify, it typically needs to be attached to the home and have permanent finishings like proper insulation, finished walls, and ceilings. It must also be livable year-round, which requires adequate heating, cooling, and ventilation. The exact legal requirements for what constitutes living space can vary by location.
