Excellent style. The set up of the staging was done very quickly. Great ideas. The house looked like it came out of a magazine. We sold our house within a few weeks due to the staging. Highly recommended. **Comment from Showhomes Fox Valley:** > Thank you Pat. So happy that you and Ray had a quick sale, we enjoyed working with you. **★★★★★ — Fran Maurer, July 2017** > The staging was exceptional! House sold in 10 days for 50 k more than our neighbors, which was a larger home. My husband was skeptical of spending money to paint and stage but it was definitely worth it! **Comment from Showhomes Fox Valley:** > Thank you Fran, it was a pleasure working with you guys! **★★★★★ — Deb Butcher, May 2017** > This company has staged my last four houses. Each of them has sold in a matter of weeks, while other comparable houses in their neighborhoods sat unsold for months. We entered into contracts on the last two houses they staged within two weeks if our first open house and both were for over our asking price. Showhomes is courteous, professional, and absolutely wonderful to work with. **Comment from Showhomes Fox Valley:** > Thank you so much. It is a pleasure to work with you! Best wishes in your next adventure. **★★★★★ — David Gustafson, Dec. 2016** > Showhomes are top notch. They make a regular home look awesome. The entire team is very pleasant to work with.

A: Interior decorating is decorating for you, staging is decorating to appeal to a greater audience. If your home is not for sale, feel free to mix and match. If staging to sell, we would stay with the same or at the least very similar color and styles. Good luck and Enjoy! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-14.*
