Staging by Lucy

Staging by Lucy is a UK-based firm specializing in property staging, interior design, and renovation services. The company's ethos centers on affordable, sustainable, and salutogenic design principles, aiming to create a lifestyle that prospective buyers desire. This approach is designed to encourage immediate offers and potentially higher asking prices for properties on the market. The firm distinguishes itself by emulating luxury without adopting a uniform "show home" aesthetic, instead treating each property uniquely based on its surroundings, architectural style, or the demographics of potential buyers.

The company focuses on clean, fuss-free living, utilizing the inherent beauty of natural materials in its designs. The inception of Staging by Lucy arose from the founder's extensive involvement in various interior design projects and collaborations with property professionals, architects, and other designers. Recognizing a gap in the market for accessible yet luxurious home staging services, the company was established after an unsuccessful search for a suitable local staging firm for an investment project. This led the team to undertake the staging themselves, ultimately deciding to offer their successful methodology to a broader clientele.

The firm provides a comprehensive suite of services, including interior design and consultancy, furniture packages and accessories, home staging, professional photography, decluttering, cleaning, and assistance with moving in and out. Beyond staging, the company also offers property revamps and renovations, ranging from minor refreshes to complete transformations, which can encompass new kitchens and full refurbishments. Staging by Lucy caters to a diverse client base within the property sector. For homeowners, the company offers streamlined and effortless staging services that cover all aspects of a property sale, providing clients with full control over their budget.

Developers benefit from hassle-free, interior-designed, on-trend furniture packages that are delivered and installed through a seamless white-glove service. Real estate agents are supported by the firm's comprehensive property preparation services for sale, which include arranging photoshoots and managing clear-outs, allowing agents to concentrate on selling properties. The company aims to assist clients in maximizing their property's market value and achieving quicker sales. The company's design process facilitates collaboration between designers and clients from any location, utilizing various devices, including mobile phones.

This remote accessibility is designed to integrate seamlessly with clients' schedules, promoting efficiency. Staging by Lucy operates on a "pay as you go" model, which allows clients to manage their budgets directly and potentially achieve significant savings compared to traditional design services. Furthermore, the firm acknowledges the potential loss of equity if a property is not adequately staged or revamped, and as such, offers financial assistance by funding the staging or revamp upfront for clients. This unique offering aims to ensure properties are presented optimally without immediate financial burden on the seller.

While Staging by Lucy offers extensive interior design and staging services for various property types, its primary focus is not on Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). The company's expertise lies predominantly in residential home staging, property revamps, and furnishing solutions for homeowners, developers, and real estate agents. The firm's future plans include expanding its business operations and creating employment opportunities for young people with disabilities and special needs. This initiative stems from the founder's personal experiences and aims to support young adults in achieving employable and fulfilling lives.
