Home Staging & Redesign

INTENTIONAL STAGING DESIGNED TO SELL

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY & NEIGHBORHING AREAS

Styled Spaces That Move Buyers

A home doesn’t sell because it’s furnished — it sells because it feels right. That’s what we design for. With a curated eye, real plants, and a hands-on approach from consult to closing, we turn empty spaces into homes buyers fall for. The kind that get remembered — and get offers.

Vacant home staging

We transform empty properties into emotionally engaging spaces designed to stand out in a competitive market. With curated styling and hands-on care, each home is fresh and exciting-not just filled with furniture.

PRE-SALE REDESIGN

Smart updates can mean a faster sale — and a better offer. We focus on vacant homes that need light, strategic improvements, recommending upgrades like lighting, flooring, paint, and hardware to make your listing feel fresh, modern, and ready to impress.

PRE-SALE CONSULTATION

Every successful staging starts with a strategy. We walk through your vacant property, define your goals, and collaborate on a tailored plan to highlight its full potential — so it stands out, shows beautifully, and sells with confidence.

Rave Reviews

  • Serene staging sold the home

    My clients fell in love with the home and I will attribute the serenity your staging brought to the living room as part of the reason why. I have told the listing agent how impressed I was with your work and have definitely taken your contact information for future projects of my own.

  • She makes homes irresistible

    As an agent, I've seen my fair share of staging, but Sarah Brill takes it to a new level. Her eye for space, style, and what actually sells is unmatched. Every home she stages becomes not just market-ready, but market irresistible.

  • Bright, spacious & modern

    Sarah made our house look so good we almost didn’t want to leave! Her staging made every room feel brighter, more spacious, and way more modern. We had open houses packed with interested buyers. Worth every penny and then some.

I believe the most beautiful spaces are also the most intentional — and that philosophy is at the heart of everything I do. As founder and lead stylist of Sarah Brill Homes, I create calm, curated environments that feel both aspirational and deeply personal.

My work is hands-on, detail-driven, and thoughtfully managed from start to finish. Whether I’m styling a vacant listing, making pre-sale updates, or redesigning a lived-in space, my goal is always the same: to give clients confidence, create emotional impact, and exceed every expectation.
