STAGING by MODERNOUS





Staging by Modernous works with clients in the greater Seattle area to highlight the best features of their homes.


When selling a home, staging increases its emotional appeal, selling it faster and for a higher price by helping buyers visualize themselves living there. It increases traffic to your listing by making the photos more appealing, and ensures home tours deliver the best impression of the home.


Modernous tells the story of a home by staging it with one-of-a-kind and unique pieces. Our inventory is gathered piece-by-piece and each project is designed from scratch to create a new and custom approach tailored just for your home and its future owner. Equally at home in a mid-century home and a bungalow, our inventory will create a modern story for your home and show off its best features.




I have worked with Sally for several years and know her to be a fantastic staging and design professional. I list a lot of mid-century modern and new modern homes and her furniture and design aesthetic is a perfect complement to these homes. When she stages a home it never feels lacking in anything as some staging can do. Sally is responsive, well priced and a pleasure to work with.

I have loved working with Sally and her crew at Modernous. Their sense of style is amazing. They really play up the features of the individual home and provide a product that is unlike most other stagers. The pieces they use are beautiful, colorful, very unique and incredibly stylish.

Working with them is an even better experience. They show up when expected and get the staging complete in a very efficient manner. If I have concerns about anything it is always handled quickly and graciously. They are fun and easy to work with and make my listing look beautiful and memorable. I know in several cases their staging really helped my clients get more money than we expected. It is an overall great experience working with Modernous.

LOVE LOVE Modernous.....especially for the mid century listings that are so prevalent in NE Seattle. Sally and her team never disappoint with their inventory of cool, hip modern and mid century furnishings. A bit of whimsy is so refreshing! I trust their style and spatial design emphatically!



- Anita Italiane Hearl, Broker



Modernous provided staging for a home I recently listed. Their eye for staging and specialized look combining classic Mid-centrury pieces with modern furniture fit this home to a "T" and many agents and buyers touring the home commented on how great the staging looked and several asked for their name.

When it came time to remove the staging, they were able to move VERY quickly to accommodate a short closing period. When a small problem emerged, they handled it professionally and the third party moving company they had hired was easy to work with to remedy the situation quickly too. Really enjoyed working with them.

Properly marketing a home can add tremendous benefits for our clients in obtaining the highest sales price. It is imperative that staging dovetails with the strengths of a home, and assists in overcoming challenges of any particular property.

Modernous consistently meets and exceeds my expectations, as the team carefully curates each room to help define the potential of the space. They seamlessly span generations of homes, bringing cohesion and helping buyers appreciate interior spaces. The Modernous team is responsive, thoughtful, and excellent with each of my clients. I highly recommend them!

Sally and the Modernous team have been so helpful in guiding us with interior and exterior paint colors for our midcentury modern home (MCM), flooring, lighting, door selection, etc. Modernous is such a great resource for MCM interior design and staging needs. I highly recommend this design team!



- Tara R, Homeowner



Modernous was recommended by my realtor to handle the staging for the sale of my Mercer Island home last week. Sally replied promptly with a bid and promised to deliver. And deliver she did! Her expert staging transformed the rooms in my home with gorgeous furnishings meant to target the current buying market. The good news is that my home sold in a week at above asking price. I am delighted and happily recommend Sally and her company!.



- Mary Etta G, Homeowner



Sally did a fantastic job staging our home. It sold in two days and I firmly believe it's because of the work that Sally put into our place. Would definitely use again!
