I had the chance to work with Larisa, the owner of Living Edge - Home Staging & Design. Both Larisa and Anastasia are European architects with master's degrees in architecture. Staging helps create an inviting atmosphere that appeals to potential buyers, making a strong first impression and making your home stand out. From my experience, staged homes often create an emotional connection with buyers, making it easier for them to envision themselves living there. This emotional pull can lead to quicker and more competitive offers.

In my case, the investment in home staging was well worth it. I believe that staging contributed to my property being sold for 10% more. I strongly recommend using Living Edge - Home Staging & Design.

It's also worth mentioning that Larisa and Anastasia work on Saturdays and Sundays. This adds flexibility for clients with busy schedules, ensuring that staging can be done at a time that is most convenient for them.

Larisa did an amazing job staging my listing - a very tricky home built in 1940s.. Staging was an absolute necessity in this case so buyers could notice the benefits that would otherwise be bland. She was responsive, professional and knowledgeable. The right amount of color and furniture in small space is crucial in homes like this. Larisa has a perfect understanding of specific needs of the given layout.

Highly recommend!

Working with Larisa on my Mountlake Terrace listing was a blast. I had such a nice time meeting her and learning about her business. She has excellent creative ideas for my clients home, she has so much knowledge about angles and best ways to use space, and she takes excellent care of her staging equipment to ensure it always looks wonderful. We had some last-minute changes at our listing with some leftover gold we had hoped to paint over, and she stepped in and brought some gold accents to make it look very intentional. We had sent her a screenshot of a beautiful living room on her website that had drawn us to her, and she set aside the adorable teal chairs and placed them in my listing. I thought that was a really nice action on her part. Side note: my clients chose to paint the living room the most faintest shade of green you've ever seen in your life. To me, it looked white. When Larisa walked in she said "I love this wall color! You'll have to tell me what it's called, I don't see this very often!" She definitely notices everything!
