🏠 Style That Sells—or Stays

If you’ve ever walked into a space and felt instantly at ease, inspired, or connected… you already understand the power of design.

At Suncoast Spaces, I specialize in occupied home staging—helping homeowners who are still living in their homes prepare them to sell. In addition, I offer home refresh and redesign services for those who aren’t moving but want to fall back in love with their home.

Both approaches start with the same philosophy:→ Work with what you already have.→ Rearrange, refine, and edit to enhance flow, function, and beauty.→ Add only what’s necessary to elevate the space—whether that’s art, accessories, or the occasional piece of furniture.

These are affordable, low-stress alternatives to major renovations—designed to maximize what’s already there.

✨ Occupied Home Staging

For Homeowners Preparing to Sell

Selling a home while you still live in it comes with real challenges—juggling showings, daily life, and the emotional weight of leaving a space filled with memories.

My goal is to make the transition easier. I guide sellers through the process of decluttering, pre-packing, and styling their home so that buyers see its full potential—not just its current function.

From rearranging furniture to highlighting architectural features, I stage your lived-in home so that it photographs beautifully, shows well, and sells faster—without major investments.

📈 Because when buyers fall in love with a home, they act fast.

🛋️ Home Refresh & Redesign

For Homeowners Who Want to Stay—But Better

Sometimes a home just needs a reset. Maybe the layout isn’t working. Maybe things feel tired. Or maybe your space no longer reflects your lifestyle.

That’s where my refresh and redesign service comes in. I use the same eye for balance, color, and flow to rework your rooms—turning “what’s not working” into “why didn’t we do this sooner?”

Together, we’ll create a space that feels more open, organized, and inspiring—using what you already own, with strategic additions as needed. The result is a home that feels new, without starting from scratch.

💡 You don’t need new construction to feel like you’re living in a brand-new space.

Whether you're planning to list your home or simply want to love your home more, I’m here to help you move forward—with confidence, comfort, and style.
