A Little About US
Furnish
\ˈfər-nish\-to provide what is needed; especially : to equip with furniture
When we made the decision to establish our staging company we wanted a name that embodied many meanings. Furnish seemed like the perfect choice. While typically used in reference to furniture, at its core, Furnish embodies the act of providing. Here at Furnish we strive to provide you with inspiration and knowledge, whether that be with tips on how to improve your home, color recommendations, photos of our recent projects, or of course with our specialty-staging. It is our hope that in whatever capacity you encounter Furnish, you'll walk away having learned something new or feeling motivated to try something different.
Our team
Furnish is a woman-owned and operated business lead by a mother-daughter team. Together we oversee all aspects of our projects from the bidding phase all the way to move in and completion. Each item brought to the home is carefully curated by us to enhance the property’s best qualities and personality. Great attention is paid to ensure the furniture is arranged to maximize traffic patterns so each room feels as spacious as possible. In addition, we take into consideration how a property will be photographed when making decisions regarding furniture layout in order to draw in the eye of prospective buyers searching online.
When buyers visit a home staged by Furnish, they are welcomed by a space that feels warm yet contemporary. Unlike most other stagers, we don’t rent our furniture so a property staged by us is distinct and unique. Your property won’t look like everything else on the market.
