Katie, Erik, and their team are a JOY to work with! They are so talented at staging and know just what a home needs to showcase itself. My first Open House had 11 parties in attendance, and 5-6 parties complimented the staging. Buyers notice! In addition to their talent with staging, they run the business smoothly, making it a seamless process to work with them. I couldn't recommend them more!

I’m a huge fan of 12th State Designs! Their team is incredibly responsive, professional, and so easy to work with. Every home feels more beautiful, inviting, and thoughtfully put together after they work their magic. I always love seeing the transformation and highly recommend their team!
Thanks so much Janet, we love getting to partner with you!
I recently used 12th State Design to stage a listing that had been struggling on the market. And I'm so glad that I did! Everyone raved about how nice the house looked and we were under contract in 2 weeks! Their team was easy to work with and I will be using them again for sure!
These stories make it all worth it - grateful for your partnership Kim!
The pictures are from the very first time I used 12th State Design Co. The sellers really wanted to push price so we pulled out all the stops on the prep work, but what really sealed the deal was the staging!!! It brought this beautiful home to life, and we sold it for top dollar the very first weekend. I have used 12th State ever since! I was so impressed by their process and communication. The product they deliver is thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. I have so many of my sellers and so many agents praise how beautiful it looks after 12th State has come in to stage. Thank you for delivering excellence every time!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review Kristin, you've made our job so easy and we're grateful for your partnership!
We absolutely love working with 12th State Staging! Their attention to detail and thoughtful design consistently make our listings shine, and, most importantly, our listings sell faster. They’re talented, professional, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. They're also extremely communicative! We couldn’t recommend them more!
Thanks so much Suzanne! You and your team have been such great partners for us
As a Realtor here in the Triangle, I've used 12th State for staging MANY times over the past few years, and they consistently exceed my expectations. Every space they've staged has been absolutely beautiful! Thoughtful design, great attention to detail, and a real eye for making a home shine. I would (and do!) highly recommend them to anyone looking for top notch staging!
Thank you for the kind words Ashley!! We always love seeing your name in our inbox <3
We had such a wonderful experience with 12th State Design for home staging! Their attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to make a home truly shine is outstanding. What really stood out to us was their reliability and trustworthiness. We always felt confident knowing everything was being handled professionally and with care. They were dependable, responsive, and made the entire staging process so easy.
Knowing our clients trust us is so important, thank you so so much for your partnership!
After first using a different staging company I ended up trying 12th State Design and have been recommending them to my clients ever since. They have made the process extremely smooth and are always super accommodating. If you are looking for a reputable stager that does a good job and is more affordable than other local companies I would highly recommend 12 State!
Appreciate the kind words Marko - we've loved being a part of what you do!!
We’ve used 12th State on multiple projects over the last year for our staging needs and they have delivered every time!
Thanks so much Kate! Consistency is definitely something we strive for.
Katie and 12th State Design Co did an amazing job staging our empty home. This was the second time we used them, and they did not dissappoint! They met with me to discuss the special areas that we wanted to highlight, and provided suggestions that reflected their in-depth knowledge of the market and choices that matched the style of the house. Even though the home had been completely renovated, the addition of stylish furniture, art and accessories resulted in an elevated, tasteful feel that was magazine worthy! They were professional and clean on both the install and de-install. We recieved a strong offer quickly and I would highly recommend them. As builders, we will use them again!
Thanks so much for your kind words Stacey!
