Staging is an essential strategy showcasing the home’s best features so future buyers can envision themselves living there.
OUR SERVICES
We provide Home Staging and Styling Artistry Services for residential properties preparing for the Toronto Real Estate Market.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Design District begins with a complimentary consultation. One of our stylists completes a viewing of the property with the client in which suggestions are made to improve the property’s layout, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
Following the complimentary consultation, The Design District provides a FREE detailed report and quotation based upon requests of the client and recommendations of the stager.
On the staging date, The Design District transforms the property using our high-quality furnishings and accessories to create a space that potential buyers can call home. Our experience in the industry is met with the passion to ‘wow’ prospective buyers.
The Staging Contract is valid for 30 days. After 30 days, the client has a choice to either extend the rental biweekly or every month. If the client chooses not to further extend the Staging Contract, The Design District will schedule a date to pick up the furniture.
OUR WAREHOUSE AND INVENTORY
The Design District owns and operates its delivery truck ensuring that stagings can be completed in ONE day.
Located in Etobicoke, our 10,000-square-foot warehouse facility stores our extensive inventory of high-end furnishings and accessories.
We believe living plants that bloom and thrive serve a practical and aesthetic purpose and enhance any staging. Therefore, you can always expect a relaxed and inviting environment curated through the introduction of live plants.
