We offer a range of services to suit your budget and needs whether you are selling your home or living in it. Nicole Schenk, a multi-talented interior stylist, is known for the exceptional and extensive customer service she provides successful professionals in the Ottawa metropolitan area. She helps clients in Barrhaven, Kanata, Manotick, Orleans, Gatineau and other area communities stage their homes so they can sell them more quickly, for more money. She trains them on how they can achieve maximum results by applying such strategies as updating the colors in their home, de-cluttering, and changing floor layouts. “I educate sellers and realtors alike that staging is a necessity, not a luxury, and that small steps can increase the selling price by 15,000 or more,” she points out. “I tell clients that if they don’t stage their home, it helps the neighbors sell their homes.” Nicole is known for her tenacity, creativity, attention to detail and her innate ability to recognize the potential for interior space. She is a gifted interior consultant and color expert who helps clients overcome their most pressing challenges in preparing their homes for resale. Her substantial decorating expertise, her lifelong “passion for all things design,” and her extensive study of fashion design enable her to advise others on how best to enhance their interiors. Nicole’s clients benefit from the organization, time management, people skills, attention to detail and other insights she gained during her earlier career working in management and visual merchandising for leading Ottawa-area retailers. That career taught her how those outlets can maximize profits by creating an “eye catching” in-store experience. Nicole, who also gained invaluable experience running a highly successful home-based business, earned a BA at the University of Ottawa. She is an avid learner who keeps current on industry trends by continuing to take classes on home stylizing. She is also a member of RESA and serves on the board of the local RESA Ottawa Chapter. ### Services Provided - Home Staging - Furniture Selection - Space Planning - Color Consulting - Art Selection - Holiday Decorating - Interior Redesign ### Areas Served - Aylmer - Barrhaven - Bells Corners - Britannia - Chelsea - Deschênes - Gatineau - Gloucester - Hazeldean - Hull - Kanata - Leitrim - Nepean - Old Chelsea - Orleans - Ottawa - Uplands ### Typical Job Cost CAD 200 - CAD 5,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Simple Elements Home Staging | | Address | Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | | Phone | (613) 899-0930 | | Website | http:// | | Followers on Houzz | 1 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/SimpleElementsHomeStaging/ - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-schenk-1612746a/ - Blog — www.simpleelements.ca ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Simple Elements Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/simple-elements-home-staging-pfvwus-pf~689744651) - **Website:** http:// - **Phone:** (613) 899-0930 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - RESA-PRO - 2022 Most Influential People - Real Estate Staging - 2020 Most Influential People - Real Estate Staging - 2018 Most Influential People - Real Estate Staging - Real Estate Staging Professional - International Staging and Redesign Professional - Certified Colour Expert - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2017–2018), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.9 out of 5 — 10 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### All 10 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-988344912, June 2026** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Nicole for my client’s home staging, and I couldn't be more impressed.

My home staging looked beautiful and my house looked amazing from just putting a few extra accent pieces to arranging my existing art and decor! An amazing and very talented home stager and artist. I would not hesitate to have Nicole help my house look spectacular❤️ **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2018** > After complete frustration trying to decide what to do with my new home, Nicole swooped in and saved the day! She really listened and helped put into words what I was looking for. She helped pick nice flowing colours and had great advice on arranging furniture and even art! **★★★★★ — Veronique Noel, Oct. 2017** > She was inspiring and lovely. Very satisfied! She took time to ask me my preferences and style. Got me on back on track. **★★★★★ — Marie-Claude Mallet, Sept. 2017** > Nicole came to our help to transform our boring TV room into a cozy, surprising, inviting room! She is very thorough in the evaluation of your needs and great a respecting your budget. I love the colors and the idea for decor she recommended. If you have a room to transform or fix Nicole is the right person for you! **★★★★★ — Jacki Coolican, Aug. 2017** > Nicole is extremely professional, a good listener and creative with her ideas. > Nicole and I had a conversation about redecorating my daughter's bedroom and right away she began to ask detailed questions to gather information so she had an idea of what I was looking for before visiting our home. Nicole's attentive to her clients wishes and offers ideas that are inline with the their needs, but also goes beyond and offers new ideas. She has a natural ability with decor - colour and placement of furniture, etc...When I asked Nicole to help me with my daughter's room she came prepared with swatches of colours and lots of ideas that she thought about before stepping foot into the bedroom. > Organized, prepared and reliable are all attributes that Nicole demonstrates consistently. Nicole is very personable, has a great sense of humour and is fun to work with. > I have known Nicole for 6 years now on both a professional and a personal level and I would highly recommend seeking professional advice with colours and decorating from Nicole. > > Jacki Coolican **★★★★★ — Jennifer White, July 2017** > We repainted the walls on our main floor last year from a deep red to a revere pewter. Although I had a colour scheme in mind for decorating (soft turquoise, greys, greens), I felt like I was throwing furniture and accent pieces together, and not feeling confident that any of it worked. I was looking for ideas to make our living space more comfy and cozy while incorporating some of the latest trends. Nicole was excellent at helping me identify my style, suggesting furniture that would go with my current colour scheme and providing advice on how to make small changes that would make a big impact. I can't wait to start incorporating all of her wonderful ideas. Nicole has an eye for detail and you can tell that she has a passion for what she does. **★★★★★ — Marie Heath, Dec. 2016** > From our initial meeting, I knew that choosing Nicole was the right move. Her accountability and professionalism was consistent throughout the whole process. I strongly believe that using her services was the reason that our house sold after one day on the market, at full asking price. I will definitely be referring Nicole in the future. **★★★★★ — ladyro, Sept. 2016** > I had a great experience with Simple Elements Home Staging. Nicole helped me choose the right colors to transform the ambience of my home and she redesigned my daughter's room. She made it so nice and cozy- my daughter loved it! I highly recommend Nicole as she is very passionate about what she does. **★★★★ — Crystal Crystal, Sept. 2016** > I was getting my house ready for sale and to be honest it was overwhelming as to where does one start. Nicole came in and all I did was walk around with my notebook and pen and write down all her suggestions. Purge, reorganize and upgrade became our mantra.. She took 2 hours and it was the best time spent ever. We took all her suggestions and with even only doing 80% of it, our house sold within 6 weeks compared to many that are still sitting on the market for months. She was courteous, insightful, professional and above all knowledgeable in what she does. I would recommend her. ## Selected projects - [Stargazer Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stargazer-staging-pj-vj~6966688) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Iona Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/iona-staging-pj-vj~6966685) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-pj-vj~6455121) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 [See all 3 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/simple-elements-home-staging-pfvwus-pf~689744651) ## Ideabooks - [Home Office](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/64197482/list/home-office) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/nschenk25) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
