During the past decade, we’ve seen a trend toward people working with stylists to refine and define their personal look. Recently, we’ve seen that trend extend to those now looking to use a similar process in home styling. Olmay Home, which has provided home staging services to the real estate industry for more than a decade, is now providing home styling services to clients in the Los Angeles area.
Our 4-Stage Process includes:
- Home Style Assessment – We offer two of types of assessment services:
- Remote Assessment: We ask you to complete a questionnaire to help us better understand your lifestyle, design preferences and needs. We then ask you provide photos of some of their favorite home pieces, as well photos of all areas they would like to be included in your home styling.
- In-Home Assessment: We ask you to complete a questionnaire to help us better understand your lifestyle, design preferences and needs. We then visit your home to conduct a thorough walk through of all areas you would like included in your home styling. During the walk through, we’ll discuss items in your home that you love and items that no longer serve you. We’ll discuss your lifestyle – how you live in your home – and your goals. We listen carefully to better understand how we can conduct your home styling not just make your home look better, but to better serve your needs. In other words, we focus not just on form (the look) but also on the function (how the home works for you).
- Home Cleanout – We will work with to conduct a thorough home cleanout. We will work along side you as you decide what to keep, consign, donate or toss. For some, this is a fairly easy process, but for others, it can be the most challenging. Rest assured that we’re right there with you to help out every step of the way. If the challenge proves too difficult, we’ll even conduct an initial pass – putting items into categories so all you need to do is make the final decision of what to keep.
- Home Staging – The fun part! We’ll ask you to go away for a few hours while we restage your home without making any additional purchases. You will be amazed by what this difference can make both in terms of bringing a new look to your home and improving the functionality of the way you live.
- Upgrading Your Style – Once the home has been staged using all your existing pieces, we can recommend additional ways you might want to upgrade your style or improve the function of your home. We talk with you to discuss various ideas and your budget and then provide a concept book that includes ideas and, where appropriate, links to items you can purchase online. Ideas may include anything from adding an accent wall, to new throw rugs, beautiful organizational systems and plants or trees. We work within your budget and many of the items we will recommend can be purchased online.

colors and well-crafted designs. Some clients needs help with establishing a new home from start to finish, others needs help with an existing home that just needs to be re arranged and styled. click here for testimonials
