Staging • Styling • Coastal Home Refresh

Thoughtful spaces. Elevated presentation. Coastal expertise.

Whether you’re preparing a property for sale, refreshing a coastal home, or getting a vacation rental ready for the next season, sometimes all it takes is a fresh, professional perspective.

Luxe Coastal Staging helps you see your property with a new eye—identifying what to keep, what to edit, what to update and where thoughtful changes can make the greatest difference.

HOME STAGING & SELLER PREP

Preparing your property to make its best first impression.

Designed for homeowners and real estate professionals preparing a property for market.

Effective staging is about much more than adding decorative touches. Our approach is not simply setting the dining table, placing towels in the bathroom or creating decorative vignettes.

We look at the property as a whole through a buyer’s eyes—considering how each room functions, how furniture affects the sense of space and flow, what may distract a buyer, where the eye is naturally drawn, and which changes can best showcase the home’s features.

The goal is to help buyers see the property, not the staging.

We identify what should stay, what should go, what should be repositioned and what may need updating before the home reaches the market.

Services may include:

1
Furniture placement, editing and room flow
2
Decluttering and depersonalizing guidance
3
Paint and color recommendations
4
Lighting, art and accessory recommendations
5
Identifying furnishings or décor that may date or overwhelm a space
6
Curb appeal and first impressions
7
Pre-photography preparation and styling
8
Coordination of additional seller-prep services when needed

COASTAL HOME REFRESH

Love your home again—without a full renovation.

Sometimes a home doesn’t need remodeling. It simply needs a fresh eye.

Our Coastal Home Refresh is designed for primary residences and second homes that feel dated, unfinished or simply no longer reflect how you want to live.

We start with what you already own. Furniture may simply need to be repositioned. A room may need editing. Paint, lighting, rugs, bedding or accessories may need updating. Or a few carefully selected new pieces may be all it takes to bring everything together.

The goal isn’t to replace everything—it’s to make thoughtful choices that create a fresher, more cohesive and beautifully finished home.

Furniture, accessories, décor, materials, shipping and delivery fees, and services provided by outside vendors or trades are additional and are not included in the Luxe service fee.

VACATION RENTAL REFRESH

Your rental worked hard all season. Now let’s refresh it.

Vacation properties experience a different kind of wear. Furniture gets used heavily, bedding tires, décor becomes dated and, over time, even a great property can stop looking as fresh and inviting as it once did.

Our Vacation Rental Refresh looks beyond decorating. We consider the property as a whole—from furniture condition and placement to lighting, bedding, accessories, paint, wear and tear, functionality and how the property presents in photographs.

Created especially for Ocean City and coastal Maryland and Delaware vacation-property owners, including owners who live out of the area.

Furniture, accessories, décor, materials, shipping and delivery fees, and services provided by outside vendors or trades are additional and are not included in the Luxe service fee.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?

Let’s start with a conversation.

Every property is different. You may need nothing more than a professional eye and a few recommendations—or you may want someone local to help carry your project through to the finishing touches.

Our complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call gives us an opportunity to learn about your property, goals, timeline and the level of assistance you’re looking for.

Let’s talk about your property and determine which Luxe service best fits your needs.
