How We Transform Your Model Home

Did you know that most homebuyers make decisions based on their first impressions? Studies have shown that a buyer forms their first impression of a home within 7-10 seconds — and these initial seconds are crucial to your success.

Our home staging services will make the most of these precious seconds to form a positive opinion by using focal points to optimize each room and make buyers feel attracted to the home. Great focal points will attract the buyer’s eye and create a feeling of comfort.

Our team understands how to identify and highlight the best characteristics of your home to ensure that buyers see its potential. Traditional feng shui space planning is used to guide our placement of furniture and decor, in order to enhance the energy of your model home.

Here are some focal points that will make your home shine:

  • Fireplaces — Does your home have a fireplace or another design feature that stands out? We love to highlight what’s in the home to stage a memorable viewing experience for buyers.
  • Windows — Windows make great focal points. Natural light will help to open up a room and emphasizing a window is a great way to showcase the lighting quality in a home.
  • Art Work — Art is essential to help tie a room together by attracting the buyer’s eye. It is essential for making a space feel more complete.
  • Furniture — Creating focal points using furniture placement; our supply of high-end furniture and accessories provide pieces that will fit perfectly in your model home.

“Wanted to leave a heartfelt review for Kelsey and her team who came into our listing and did a tremendous job of giving us advice during the consultation and subsequently staging the home beyond what we expected. The listing showed extremely well and without the amazing staging done, we would not have sold with the same results. Thank you so much, would recommend their services to any agents working in the Guelph area!”

“When faced with the task of selling our first home, our real-estate agent asked us to consider the idea of home staging, a new idea to my husband and me at the time. We called Jenny Hilborn from Centre Staged who made herself quickly available. We were impressed with her professionalism at our home consultation and after making use of a number of her preparation suggestions, she was able to work within our limited budget and with the furniture we had to transform our bungalow into an attractive show piece. Her eye for detail, simple and elegant touches and overall expertise helped us to sell our home for $16,000 over asking price! We are thrilled! We would highly recommend Centre Staged to anyone wishing to make their home look it’s best and maximise their homes selling potential. It is more than worth the investment!”

“When I recommend professionals to my clients, it can be a risk as it is a direct reflection on me. One professional I can always count on to do the right thing and make me look good at the same time is Jenny Hilborn, owner of Centre Staged Inc. She has an innate talent to turn homes into top notch multiple offer contenders ultimately ensuring more money in the pockets of my sellers. The investment of hiring a qualified and professional stager such as Jenny is critical for a successful home sale and that is why she is at the top of my list. Doing a great job, ensuring more money for my clients and making me look good…..I can’t ask for anything more!”

“I can’t believe how beautiful the place looks, and I had a conditional offer signed 3 days after staging. You worked some amazing magic!”
Michelle FraserToronto, ON
“I recently booked a staging consult with Centre Staged for an upcoming listing I have and I was really happy with how it went. Kelsea did the consultation and the job she did was 10/10. The first thing I’ll mention is that she did an awesome job handling questions from my Seller. Having the technical knowledge she does is so important, but her people skills are a perfect compliment to her expertise. Giving advice on how best to change the look of a home to make it the most appealing to buyers can be a sensitive topic and Kelsea handled it beautifully. The advice she gave for each room was detailed and very well thought out, and when she left, my seller had all the information she needed to maximize the potential in each room of her home. I will definitely be working with Centre Staged again. Very impressed!!”
Josh FriesenKitchener, ON
“Such a fantastic business. Jenny the owner is a true professional and an amazing designer. The homes she stages look phenomenal and her design jobs are gorgeous. Her staff of professionals are incredibly talented and really know their stuff. I had the pleasure of hanging my artwork in their beautiful office space as well. I highly recommend Centre Staged.”
