Celebrating our WIN: #1 Vacant Staging Project USA by Resa

Winning the #1 Vacant Staging USA award from RESA this year is a milestone that fills me with pride and gratitude. At Inhance It, we have always aimed to transform empty spaces into inviting homes that buyers can imagine living in. This recognition highlights the dedication and creativity our team brings to every project, especially in the competitive St. Louis home staging market.

Award-winning vacant living room staged by Inhance It Home Staging

How the Project Came to Life

This award-winning project started with a vacant property that had great potential but lacked warmth and character. The challenge was to create a welcoming atmosphere without any personal belongings or clutter. We made it our mission to create an unforgettable feeling in this home, focusing on clean lines, neutral tones, and carefully selected furniture that would appeal to a broad range of buyers.

We chose pieces that complemented the home’s architecture and enhanced its best features. For example, in the living room, we placed two cozy sectional sofas facing each other to highlight the symmetry and depth of the space. The texture in every detail from throw pillows to greenery created a warmth against the modern tone of the home itself. Every choice we made helped the space feel lived-in and comfortable, leading to a quick sale after the almost $7million home sat on the market for months while vacant.

Why Staging Made the Difference

Vacant homes often feel cold and lack character, turning off potential buyers. Staging fills that emotional gap by showing how the space can be used. In St. Louis, where real estate competition is strong, presenting a home that feels warm and functional can make all the difference. Never underestimate the power of buyer psychology!

Our team has witnessed it time and time again...the best home stagers do more than just place furniture. They create a story that buyers want to be part of. This project proved that the right design can produce measurable results in todays real estate market. We couldn't be happier to be recognized by RESA for a project that embodied the purpose of home staging itself!
