Her ability to reimagine spaces and bring out the best in every property is unparalleled. Each project she undertakes results in a stunning transformation that not only attracts multiple offers but also achieves record-breaking prices every time. > I highly recommend Yami.

She is extremely responsive and easy to work with. Lastly, when it comes to staging, she is an excellent photographs which make it so easy when marketing the property. **★★★★★ — Candace and Keith Nordstrom, Marin County Realtors, Dec. 2024** > Creative. Positive Attitude. Glass Half-Full Approach. Sexy-hip-now design. Quick to Make Decisions. Fair and Flexible. Happy, with a Beautiful Spirit! > > Yami and her team. ROCK! As a top Marin County real estate agent, we have worked together since 2017. She has helped me to transform small/conservative, semi-fixer projects to luxury, top of the line $12MM listings, and everything in between. Her vision for each property is ALWAYS spot-on! > > No property is too difficult to design or stage for her. Trust me, I’ve had many that I was “afraid” to market, due to their condition or lack of flow.

I had the pleasure to collaborate with her on her client's home in Tiburon, CA. I look forward to working on more projects together in the future! **★★★★★ — Scott Kalmbach, Dec. 2016** > We have used Moones Home several times for staging and have been completely satisfied with their professionalism and creativity. They have a responsible crew and are well organized to get the staging in and out on time. Their design team is well versed in finding unique pieces that blend with a home’s style and elevate the overall look and feel of the property. We would not hesitate to recommend them. > > -AHERN + KALMBACH, Pacific Union International **★★★★★ — James Fox, Nov. 2016** > Yami at Moones Home was a pleasure to work with - smart, efficient and reliable. What more could one ask for? From interior design to staging she had our bases covered! Would recommend her 110%! **★★★★★ — Eckart Noack, Nov. 2016** > I have had the pleasure of working with Yami (& Rebecca) on 7 staging jobs and a few design projects. She is fantastic designer. Her work always adds great value and desirability to the properties. She is fun, cheerful & competent even in the more challenging projects. I am a huge fan. **★★★★★ — Hannah Choi, Feb. 2015** > Yami led a home remodeling project for my duplex. She finished the entire job within a month and a half and the outcome was truly amazing. It was a complete transformation. She delivered everything she promised to us, on time and with high quality. She is easy to work, knowledgeable, design oriented, yet budget conscious, and extremely efficient. If I run another remodeling project, I'd definitely work with her again within a heartbit! **★★★★★ — drstollmeyer, Feb. 2015** > Yami Arvelo, a principal, came to our house and offered us two choices as to how to stage it for sale. We chose her clean modern theme - which resulted in her removing (storing) nearly all our traditional (but cluttered) furnishings. She brought in an entire house worth of of her furnishings (leaving very few of ours). The place looked fantastic! Had we stayed, we may well have bought her furnishings. We had not realized how old looking our stuff was - even though they were antiques (for the most part). > Of particular note: when we were, perhaps, somewhat difficult in her eyes, she always obliged us with a smile. > We would highly recommend her services and it turned out to be well worth what we spent and the house sold in a reasonably short time. **★★★★★ — Sytze Baarda, Feb. 2015** > Yami did an amazing job with staging my house. She did everything and with a good feel for quality. Very proffessional and what dis with a small budget, really helped me to the house in less than one week. Yami is somebody I highly recommend to good friends. **★★★★★ — cppfeiffer, Feb. 2015** > We needed help from start to finish doing a to-the-studs remodel and design on our kitchen and master suite. > Yami was a pleasure to work with and has excellent taste! **★★★★★ — aslow, Feb. 2015** > Yami is amazing. We went through a six month tear down rebuild. If anyone who has gone through this process you know that your are pretty much burnt out on making decisions towards the end. The key thing is that you really need to be focused on the detail work towards the end. Our awesome local contractor Javier referred Yami to us. Yami came in and within minutes had phenomenal recommendations and ideas for us. Yami helped us with our interior design work, picking out colors and furniture that we would never have thought of ourselves. Yami has a great eye and amazing style. We only wish that we brought her in sooner in the overall design process. I strongly recommend her work and refer her anytime that I can. I am a strong believer in "added value" and Yami definitely added value and closed the loop on helping us build our new home. **★★★★★ — Decker Bullock Sotheby's International Realty, Feb. 2015** > Yami Arvelo has staged five or six homes for my clients, and we've had great success in getting them sold. Her strength is understanding scale - the items she chooses make the space seem just right. Often clients have artwork too small and furniture too big. Yami is very good with clients, not making them feel wrong, but advising on what they might do with their things. She has a warehouse of items that she brings to complement the scheme, and is very good with color as well. Her staging is not cliche. I recommend her highly. **★★★★★ — lstall2001, Feb. 2015** > The collective wisdom of Moones is superb. They know how to maximize our resources so that we don't waste revenue. At our request, Moones consults on matters unrelated to a specfic project. We have found their contributions have great value. Moones is actual a better value than in-house or day labor by completing taskjs much faster than our old methods **★★★★★ — gregoryclow, Jan. 2015** > Yami staged our house for sale. When she entered, it was empty and antiseptic. When she left, it looked professionally designed, upscale, attractive, and in short, a high end home (which was the goal). Yami was personally very kind and nice to work with. But she was professional. Her crew was very careful, and they arrived on time and got the project done swiftly. They returned at regular intervals to make sure the patio furniture was looking its best, and to fluff the pillows and keep the house looking its best. She did a remarkable job, and I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — acekelly, Nov. 2012** > Yami Arvelo is just a pleasure to work with. I'm an investor and I buy and sell about 10-12 houses a year. Staging (and color/design consultation) is critical to my success. I started working with Yami about 6 months ago, after hearing her speak at an investment club. On the first project we worked on together, she came up with multiple ideas I would never have thought of, that flat-out made my house better. We have since worked on two more projects together, and every time I feel she's contributed substantially to making my houses more beautiful. Yami is caring, generous, and has a wonderful sense of style. > > At my most recent project, Yami came to the jobsite, chose all colors for the house and floors inside and out (no small job, on a Victorian). She also consulted with me on ideas for the remodel, ways to save money and areas to focus on, I would not have considered. I could not recommend her more highly. **★★★★★ — edavito, Nov. 2012** > I work with Yami Arvelo of MOONES Home to design, remodel and stage my high end real estate listings for sale in Marin County. She is an amazing designer and very professional. She understands how spaces should be designed and what products should be selected for maximum impact. My listings sell every time with Yami's designs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to remodel their home and anyone needing her staging services. ## Selected projects - [FULL REMODEL + INTERIOR DESIGN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-remodel-interior-design-pj-vj~1513275) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 104 - Description: Marin County \| San Francisco - [EDUCATIONAL DESIGN, MULTI-FAMILY + HOSPITALITY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/educational-design-multi-family-hospitality-pj-vj~434545) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - [HOME STAGING](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-pj-vj~5816005) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 85 - [21 Gilmartin Ave, Tiburon \| Full Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/21-gilmartin-ave-tiburon-full-staging-pj-vj~1684711) - Location: Tiburon, CA - Photos: 22 - Description: modern, ceasarstone, white counter, porcelanosa, gray floor, hardwood, shelves, shelf, modern, staging, glass dining table, black wicker, patio, ipe deck, deck, modern, contemporary, yami, arvelo, mooneshome, shag, shag rug, gray, benjamin moore, edgecomb gray, white dove oc17, tension wire, railing, cascade island, waterfall, james rizzi, contemporary art, eric zener, modern art, large art, concrete, brass, free standing tub, white, gray, grey, - [Modern Tiburon \| STAGING](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-tiburon-staging-pj-vj~1832704) - Location: Belvedere Tiburon, CA - Photos: 82 - Description: modern, ceasarstone, white counter, porcelanosa, gray floor, hardwood, shelves, shelf, modern, staging, glass dining table, black wicker, patio, ipe deck, deck, modern, contemporary, yami, arvelo, mooneshome, shag, shag rug, gray, benjamin moore, edgecomb gray, white dove oc17, tension wire, railing, cascade island, waterfall, james rizzi, contemporary art, eric zener, modern art, large art, concrete, free standing tub, white, gray, grey, - [Mill Valley Modern \| Full Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mill-valley-modern-full-staging-pj-vj~756254) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 14 - [San Francisco modern gem](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-francisco-modern-gem-pj-vj~205035) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 5 - [Bolinas Beach House \| Complete Remodel + Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bolinas-beach-house-complete-remodel-staging-pj-vj~2150819) - Location: Bolinas, CA - Photos: 31 - [Terrace Court, Tiburon Splendor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/terrace-court-tiburon-splendor-pj-vj~5757446) - Location: Tiburon, CA - Photos: 18 - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~105951) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 14 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~105954) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fort-bragg-mendocino-county-ca-pj-vj~105789) - Location: Fort Bragg, CA - Photos: 3 - [Laurel Grove, Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laurel-grove-staging-pj-vj~461691) - Location: Yucaipa, CA - Photos: 5 - [Staging by Moones Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/staging-by-moones-home-pj-vj~1167241) - Location: Novato, CA - Photos: 115 - Description: Wine Country Style Home in Novato, California - [San Francisco, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-francisco-ca-pj-vj~205194) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 4 - [Tiburon Interiors \| Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tiburon-interiors-projects-pj-vj~113167) - Location: Tiburon, CA - Photos: 29 - [Contemporary Home Redwood Forest in Mill Valley, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-home-redwood-forest-in-mill-valley-ca-pj-vj~50532) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 8 - [Edgewood Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edgewood-ave-pj-vj~105781) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 4 - [San Rafael Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-rafael-interiors-pj-vj~105803) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 10 - [Commercial Spaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/commercial-spaces-pj-vj~1539710) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 [See all 29 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/moones-home-inc-pfvwus-pf~377602648) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1041200803.m3u8?s=330208391183d3bb1e8a54123d4ff4b444576be7&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **What types of interior design projects do you specialize in (full-home, single room, remodel support)?** We specialize in a broad range of interior design projects, including full residential remodels, home staging, and multi-family design and remodel.
