Staged for market, styled for the architecture.
Home staging for the buyer of a Krisel or an Alexander, who expects the interior to understand the house. We style architectural listings across the desert with real design, original art, and fast turnarounds. Sellers get a home that photographs like a magazine feature. Agents get a listing that moves.
How it works now
We style listings. We no longer warehouse furniture. For a vacant house we will source a package you own, or rent one on your behalf. For a house that is already furnished, which is most of the good ones, we edit what is there, fill the gaps, and style the whole thing for the camera. Either way, nothing leaves the house that you did not decide to remove.
How it works
- 01
Walk-through
A one-hour visit with you or your agent. We read the architecture, flag quick wins, and scope the staging honestly. If the house does not need us, we say so.
- 02
Design + install
Furniture, textiles, and original artwork selected for the house, not pulled from a generic warehouse package. Most installs complete within a week of green light.
- 03
Photography-ready handoff
We style for the camera, meet the photographer if you want, and stay on call through the listing period. Buyers can purchase staged pieces and art with the home.
Before + after
Drag the slider. The same room at Seven Lakes, vacant and then staged, with Lynda Keeler originals on the walls.

What would staging run on your listing?
Rough numbers, honestly stated. A one-hour walk-through turns this into a fixed quote.

The differentiator
Staged with Art
Most staging art is rented, generic, and forgettable. Ours is original work by desert artists, chosen for the specific house, and the buyer can keep it. Real fine art on the walls, not decor that photographs like decor.
Matched to the house
We pair each listing with an artist whose work belongs in that architecture, not a warehouse package that fits anywhere and suits nowhere.
Original, local, collectible
Every piece is real fine art by a working desert artist, hung through the listing period and credited on the listing.
Staged to keep
Buyers can purchase the art with the home. The sale gets simpler, the artist gets collected, and the walls stay exactly right.
Artist in residence
Lynda Keeler
Lynda Keeler paints Palm Springs the way you move through it: mid-century rooflines, backyard pools, and the curves of cul-de-sacs, abstracted into vivid, map-like canvases from her daily walks. Her paintings already hang at the Ace Hotel and Janssen Artspace, and she shows at Lawson-Fenning in LA.
Hung in a staged listing, a Keeler turns the wall into a piece of the neighborhood, and the buyer can keep it.

Questions, answered
What does home staging cost in Palm Springs?
For architectural homes in the desert, professional staging typically ranges from a few thousand dollars for an occupied refresh to the mid five figures for a full vacant install of a large home. We quote a fixed range after a one-hour walk-through, and each project page on this site publishes its real engagement range.
Is staging worth it for a mid-century home?
Especially for a mid-century home. Buyers of architectural properties are buying a way of living, and an empty or generically furnished Krisel undersells the thing they came for. Staging that respects the architecture routinely photographs better, draws stronger traffic, and supports the asking price.
Do you work directly with listing agents?
Yes, most of our staging work comes through agents. We scope by walk-through, move quickly, and treat your listing timeline as the deadline. Ask us for the agent one-pager.
What is Staged with Art?
Our differentiator: instead of rented decor, we hang original work by desert artists, starting with painter Lynda Keeler. The art is chosen for the specific house, credited on the listing, and available for the buyer to purchase with the home.
Can buyers keep the furniture and art?
Often, yes. When we have furnished a house in the owner’s name, everything in it can convey with the sale, which simplifies the deal and buyers love it. Original artwork is always available to purchase.
Do you still stage vacant houses?
Yes, selectively. We no longer keep a warehouse of our own furniture, so for a vacant listing we source a package the seller owns and can convey, or rent one on the seller’s behalf. Ask us at the walk-through and we will tell you honestly which makes sense for the house.
