Staging the Graceful Spaces Way
Enhance your Home staging strategy with elevated and functional custom solutions for every corner of the home.
Planning to put a home up on the market this year? Don’t forget to stage!
Staging doesn’t just make a home look polished—it allows potential buyers to imagine how they’d use a space. And while you may be hesitant to spend money upfront, the numbers don’t lie. A strategically staged home can:
Draw in a larger pool of qualified buyers
Spend less time on the market than unstaged counterparts
Increase the sale price by up to 20% on average
At Graceful Spaces, a good staging strategy starts with organization. Read on for our top reasons to work with a professional organizer for your next real estate listing.
#1: A well-organized space makes an impression
“Remember the house with that gorgeous pantry?”
In a crowded market, being memorable means everything. Organization solutions create visual cues that keep your home front of mind as buyers narrow their list.
Curated spaces free of clutter are calming and inspirational. They paint a picture of possibility. People believe they can recreate the same organization in their future home, forming a positive association with your listing.
And while they may not remember square footage, they will never forget how a place made them feel!
STAGING IN ACTION: CASA SIRENA
To channel the airy, warm vibe of our client’s favorite Costa Rican cafe, we used functional decor throughout the home and strategically stacked floating shelves in the upstairs kitchen.
Did you know?
Casa Sirena won GRACEFUL SPACES HOME OF THE YEAR in 2022, which means it’s a must-see. Click here to view this incredible project and see for yourself why it won Home of the Year.
#2: Organizers can get creative with challenging spaces
Unique corners and closets add character to a home, but they can also be a challenge for open houses. Custom organization systems eliminate friction for buyers by showing them how to best use the space.
Carefully chosen decor and storage solutions highlight the unique benefits of a space, making the challenge a point of interest.
STAGING IN ACTION: The Wonderful waterway project
Our Graceful Spaces Charleston team headed to Isle of Palms in South Carolina to work on a truly unique and fun staging project. We partnered with Hyer Home, an incredible luxury home staging firm, to outfit this gorgeous home, designed by the talented Corine Havens, that was preparing to hit the Charleston real estate market. Together, we brought this home to life to show potential buyers what life at 1900 Waterway can look like.
The pantry had a narrow profile, so we used tall canisters, complementary baskets from Serena and Lily, and turntables to create a functional, streamlined look without crowding the available shelf space.

#3: Organization solutions can maximize small spaces to increase value
One of the most common things we see working with clients is rooms in the home that aren’t being used to their full potential. Intuitive categories and placement can make all the difference in tight quarters, making them feel less cluttered.
Try to get creative with storage. Our favorite way to create more space? Think hooks inside cabinet doors, stackable solutions or functional decor on the countertops.
STAGING IN ACTION: THE HILLYER HOMESTEAD
To maximize space in the kitchen and pantry our team used The Home Edit canisters in multiple sizes to utilize both horizontal and vertical space. We also came up with a solution for the family’s large collection of water bottles. Vertical storage! See what we did here.
The Hillyer Homestead is home to business and lifestyle entrepreneur Holly Hillyer and her family. To see the full home tour click here.
