Meet Marie
​
The face behind Style & Stage Co., a boutique home staging business based in West Berkshire. I work with homeowners, estate agents, property developers, and Airbnb hosts to help them present their properties in the very best light.
My passion lies in transforming empty or unloved spaces into beautifully styled homes that feel warm, welcoming, and easy for buyers or guests to imagine themselves living in.
With a strong eye for design and a deep understanding of what makes people emotionally connect with a property, I create interiors that don’t just look stunning — they sell.
The result? Homes that attract more viewings, sell faster, and achieve higher prices — all without the stress for my clients.
Whether it’s staging for sale, styling for short-term lets, or refreshing a forever home through design consultancy, my goal is always the same: to unlock the full potential of every property.

Serviced apartments, HMOs and Holiday lets
Stand out from the competition
HMOs and SAs often fall into the trap of being functional but forgettable. With professional styling, I transform them into inviting, lifestyle-driven spaces that instantly attract tenants and guests. From layout optimisation to bold, Instagram-worthy details, your property won’t just be another listing — it’ll be the one that gets booked first.

Working with Marie was an absolute game changer. She staged a vacant property I was selling, transforming it into a stylish, modern home with beautifully chosen furniture, artwork and accessories. The difference was incredible – it no longer felt empty, but warm and inviting. The property went on to receive multiple offers and eventually sold for £30,000 over the asking price to the right buyers, with another offer even higher. I have no doubt that Marie’s expertise played a big part in achieving such an exceptional result. Her work truly adds value, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.

Marie was recommended to us by our estate agent, we no longer lived in the property we were trying to sell and it was only part furnished. Marie added soft furnishings, artwork and accessories and styled the rooms perfectly. We had several viewings and accepted an offer over the asking price. It was well worth the small investment to dress the house for the viewings. Thank you Marie
