Decorating, Color, Staging, and Redesign made Easy

“The Decorating and Staging Academy’s Mission Statement:  Provide excellence in education, support and inspiration to both the PRO and the DIY with a passion for decorating, redesign, staging, and color”

“The number one question we hear…

How do I learn to decorate, stage, and/or redesign?”

We, at The Decorating and Staging Academy, teach people everyday who love to create beautiful spaces but don’t have the core skills or confidence to turn their passion into a business. Blessed with natural talent, they come to us for comprehensive training with a proven record of success.

Does this sound like you?

  • You use your home as a Decorating Lab
  • You help friends and family, but can’t imagine actually getting paid
  • You are a HGTV fanatic
  • You have been collecting decorating magazines for years
  • Everyone says you have a “good eye” for design and color

The Decorating and Staging Academy Course Catalog
DECORATING-The service of decorating has been around forever.Today’s decorator is just like you and me, someone who loves the process, has natural talent and a desire to be the best and most creative. This doesn’t necessarily require a design degree. After all, very few of the “deco-lebrities” you watch on TV have design degrees. Most have simply polished their talent, took advantage of various educational opportunities and just did it! This can be you, choose from one of our various classes and get started today.

STAGING-Entrepreneur Magazine listed Staging as one of the recession proof careers. Today’s competitive marketplace makes staging a critical part of the listing process and no longer an option. Listing a house is like Match.com, the house must make a great first impression to sell in minimum time for maximum dollars. Learn the exciting ACTION scoring system that makes assessing a property easier. Select from one of our various options.
