On short notice, I contacted Renu and she graciously to the project on knowing we had a very short window to stage prior to the photo-shoot. The shoot was a huge success and the photographer commented "this is one of the nicest staging job's I have shot". The property was placed on the market and within 5 days we had multiple offers. Thank you Renu and I look forward to working with you soon!!! **★★★★★ — HU-954496069, Nov. 2019** > We would highly recommend Stage4Success. We tried to sell our house with no furniture and just a bright and clean layout, but after 90 days we needed to change our approach. Stage4Success made it quick and easy and had the right touches to make the house warm and inviting. The house quickly sold based upon an early preview before the formal open house. We would highly recommend staging and Stage4Success can indeed make a big difference. > > Sincerely, > Steve & Linda **★★★★★ — Justin Filler, Oct. 2019** > Renu staged a listing I had in the Santa Fe Hills area of San Marcos. The listing had been on the market previously and was having problems selling. She came in and gave great advice to spruce up the appeal of the place and a week or so later, we had an accepted contract. > > Fast forward 29 days from the opening of the escrow, the property fell out and had to have renovations and repairs completed due to a leak. After the work was completed it looked like a basic, cold and neutral 2019 flip home. She staged the listing for us and brought the place to life, all while being extremely flexible with us on a moving schedule. After her great work, we had the property back into escrow in just 2 weeks. Would definitely recommend staging your home or listing with Renu, your sale will be better for it. **★★★★★ — Diane DeWindt, Aug. 2019** > I was a week away from listing my home and realized it needed an improved presentation. Renu came to my home, and in less than 2 hours designed a plan to be implemented 24 hours before our photo shoot. She brought in furniture and accessories to compliment what was already in place. The transformation was incredible! The house showed beautifully, received several offers, and sold in 10 days at our asking price. > I highly recommend Renu to transform the look of your home for a successful sale! **★★★★★ — C & K Caltagirone, March 2019** > To echo others who have posted here - Renu does truly fantastic work and her communication throughout the entire process has been outstanding. She is a true professional who comes with none of the aloofness or arrogance we found while interviewing a few other companies. We really appreciated the time she put in beforehand to customize the pieces for each room, as well as how involved she was in the eventual installation. We feel very fortunate to have found her, and thanks to her talent and hard work we feel like we put our strongest foot forward. Thank you Renu! **★★★★★ — Karen Schlonsky, May 2018** > This is the 2nd time I have hired Renu to stage one of my houses for sale. I have worked with many staging companies; being in the new home construction industry for 30& years. Now retired and selling my houses. One at a time! > Renu is truly a professional. > Not only does she know what looks right in small odd shape spaces she makes it all work well with Color and placement of each and every accessory. I called her on Saturday and by Thursday (5 days later) the house looks fabulous. I asked her to change one item (picture) to a TV she had it done within an hour! Amazing > Thank you Renu **★★★★★ — bhatt\_shuchi84, March 2018** > Renu is fantastic! We needed a home stager to come out and help us stage our home but we were in a time crunch, and renu made it happen! She was fantastic and staged our home so beautifully that I could not believe this was the same home! I would recommend her to everyone selling or decorating a home! **★★★★★ — Cheryl Bray, June 2017** > I could not be more satisfied with RENU and Staged 4 Success. She and her associate staged my client's Cardiff home under not ideal circumstances. The owners were still living there. Some rooms needed full staging. Some needed partial staging. The entire house needed editing. The owner's were great but it's not easy to bring a cohesive look to a home when you're using the clients furniture plus the stagers furniture and accents. But she did the job with grace, style and patience. I really enjoyed working with her and would absolutely use her services again! **★★★★★ — Roshan Cordeiro, March 2017** > I cannot say enough about Renu and her team! > > We initially hired another staging company when selling our home, which ended up as a disaster. They did not contact us to go over staging as requested, and ignored multiple attempts to reach them beforehand. The day of staging, they showed up with a truck full of different furniture. The movers dropped off pieces which did not go together, and which were very dated. A professional from the actual company was not even present. They completed the job in less than 2 hours. We were so disappointed when we saw the final look. Our hearts sank, because we knew we could not let any potential buyers see our home this way. Instead of making our home more attractive, the furniture would have pushed buyers away. Our home looked much better when it was empty without their staging. It was very difficult to get a hold of them to amend the situation, or even to get their furniture out of our home, as we did not want anyone seeing the house that way, or photos to be taken. We wasted hours attempting to get everything removed asap. > > We then read the reviews on Renu. As soon as I called her, I knew she was a professional who took a lot of pride in her work. She met us at the home, took measurements, and educated herself on the type of buyers we wanted to attract, etc. The day of staging, her team was there the entire day. The look came together flawlessly! They did a big reveal for us at the end of the day, and we were so pleasantly surprised. It was clear each and every piece, from the bigger furniture items, to the smallest book, vase, painting, clock, or flower, was hand picked by Renu. She paid attention to the smallest details. Each and every one of her pieces is gorgeous! The house looked brighter and more welcoming than ever. She even decorated a corner in our kitchen, in a way we never thought to, which created a beautiful space for entertaining or having a glass of wine or coffee. The furniture was the perfect size to make the most out of each room, without being overwhelming. It was easy to walk through, and feel that this was a place you would want to come home to. Even my husband, our agent, and the photographer had huge smiles on their faces. My husband and I actually second guessed selling our home when we saw it this way. > > It was clear Renu spent a large amount of time, coming up with the whole design plan before staging. I enjoy touring open homes, and know the difference between staging which takes away from the home, and staging which makes buyers immediately drawn to the space. Renu's staging was more impressive than any staging I had seen before, including very high end homes. (And I consider myself picky when it comes to home decor) We listed our home on the market in the past, without a strong offer. Within 1 week of Renu staging the home, we got 2 great offers. I truly believe Renu's staging is what made the difference. We learned that great staging is worth every penny, as our house did not have to sit on the market for long, saving us thousands. > > Without hesitation, we will use Renu when selling any properties in the future. Our agent also said she is the only stager he will use from now on, as it made his job that much easier. Buyers consistently commented on how gorgeous the furniture was. Placing your home on the market can be very stressful, however with Renu's staging, we felt a weight lifted off our shoulders, because we knew potential buyers would find the home beautiful, warm, and inviting :) She made us feel very proud of our home, and what we were showing others. After meeting Renu, I expected her to be good, but her work went way, way, beyond our expectations! **★★★★★ — Amethyst Jammer, Nov. 2016** > Renu and her team are the best at what they do. We had very short notice to get our home staged for sale and she came to our rescue. Renu worked fast, is very knowledgeable, and has a stellar team. They are very professional. Our pictures look amazing! I recommend Renu to all of my friends and family! **★★★★★ — mscasey4, Sept. 2016** > I have never had a home staged before. Renu was very professional and educational throughout this process. We used a combination of both my items and hers to create a beautiful setting for prospective buyers. She came in for the consultation and dug right in. She has a keen eye for what works and what doesn't. I would definitely recommend Renu and Staged4Success to stage your home and I would use her again. **★★★★★ — josiahgoodin, June 2016** > Renu is fantastic!!! She accepted a consultation on short notice once I decided to sell my home in Poway. She walked through the house with intention, asked the right questions, and took action. As a person who is not especially adept with interior design, I was looking for a professional I could trust to take charge and produce an amazing result. Renu did just that and more; she far exceeded my expectations. Not only was the end result breathtaking, she went above and beyond to help in making the home ready for market. She pointed out minor details unrelated to decorations I had overlooked that make a difference to potential buyers. I made several improvements based on her recommendations that definitely paid off. She frequently checked in to see how the process was going, and showed sincere concern. My house went into escrow after 12 short days, and brought more than ask price. I give a lot of credit to Renu for delivering on her commitment, and more importantly, for her best in class approach, professionalism, attention to detail, and superior service. Thank you Renu! I recommend Renu to anyone and everyone selling their home and in need of an incredible stager! ## Selected projects - [Staging in Encinitas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/staging-in-encinitas-pj-vj~5709962) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Encinitas Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/encinitas-staging-pj-vj~3494389) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Cardiff Colorful Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cardiff-colorful-home-staging-pj-vj~1575223) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Pacific Beach Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacific-beach-staging-pj-vj~3494539) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Staging Vignettes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/staging-vignettes-pj-vj~1156591) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Pacific Beach Makeover & Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacific-beach-makeover-and-staging-pj-vj~1159481) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Carlsbad Beach Style Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carlsbad-beach-style-staging-pj-vj~1575231) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Downtown San Diego Condo Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-san-diego-condo-staging-pj-vj~1155344) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [La Costa Town House Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/la-costa-town-house-staging-pj-vj~2040217) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [North County Transitional Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-county-transitional-staging-pj-vj~1392024) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Poway Beach Style Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/poway-beach-style-staging-pj-vj~1860772) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [San Diego Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-diego-staging-pj-vj~1392087) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [San Diego Home Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-diego-home-makeover-pj-vj~1306175) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/staged4success-pfvwus-pf~1166893361) ## Ideabooks - [Kitchen ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/150120499/list/kitchen-ideas) — 4 ideas - [Patio Pavers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/142958766/list/patio-pavers) — 16 ideas - [Kitchen Nooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125283269/list/kitchen-nooks) — 1 idea - [Kitchen Storage Solutions](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125283002/list/kitchen-storage-solutions) — 4 ideas - [Exterior Color](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/121919802/list/exterior-color) — 49 ideas - [Front Door Colors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/95130434/list/front-door-colors) — 10 ideas - [Glam Holiday Decor](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73631173/list/glam-holiday-decor) — 5 ideas - [Traditional Christmas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73631059/list/traditional-christmas) — 4 ideas - [White Christmas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73630974/list/white-christmas) — 2 ideas - [Coastal Christmas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73630914/list/coastal-christmas) — 2 ideas - [Rustic Style Holiday Decor](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73630789/list/rustic-style-holiday-decor) — 13 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/26364986/list/bathrooms) — 24 ideas - [Beautiful Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25153961/list/beautiful-kitchens) — 74 ideas - [Family rooms I like](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25610067/list/family-rooms-i-like) — 25 ideas - [Paint colors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/42438308/list/paint-colors) — 206 ideas - [Staging](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44602652/list/staging) — 19 ideas - [Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25264635/list/living-rooms) — 51 ideas - [Bedrooms I love](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25610168/list/bedrooms-i-love) — 14 ideas - [Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28203008/list/outdoor-living) — 22 ideas - [Great curb appeal](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25610784/list/great-curb-appeal) — 6 ideas [See all 34 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/renulyn) ## Community Q&A **Q: New apartment. Oddly shaped trapezoidal bedroom! Help!** *(in Design Dilemma)* We're moving and my bedroom is almost impossible for me to design; I've spent hours trying to figure out where to place things. One of the walls is completely made up of two large closets, and another a window and large air conditioner which sticks out. Please help me design the room. I enjoy minimalist designs but any are okay. The last image is of my current room so you have an idea of my mattress size and some furniture I may bring. Thank you! A: I agree with studio, the bed will fit on the wall right of the entrance. Using hung side tables and lamps will optimize space usage. **Q: Wood Floors or Tile Floors?** *(in Polls)* During a home remodel, would you rather have wood floors or tile floors? A: I love wood, but its hard to maintain with pets and kids. I vote for tile that looks like wood! **Q: Which paint color?? Help needed!** *(in Design Dilemma)* I had thought we were set on BM edgecomb Gray for our open concept main floor however I just picked up a sample of our counter tops (caesarstone bianco drift) and am now worried edgecomb Gray is a touch too beige. Another color we liked but worried was too cold was BM albalone, which seems to blend with the counters better. The main area is facing south with lots of windows, any advice on which color would look best?? That's our flooring underneath as well. Thanks!!!! A: I would have also chosen Abalone. Would love to see a picture when complete. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
