Home Staging With a Pop of Color - Working

What this episode covers

This week, guest-host Kristen Meinzer talks to Nikki Watson, a home staging expert who founded The Design Quad, one of the biggest home staging companies in the country. In the interview, Nikki explains what a home stager does and how it’s different from the work of an interior designer. She also discusses trends in the industry, like the “monochromatic” color palettes, and her ability to evoke emotions with her staging. After the interview, Kristen and co-host Isaac Butler talk more about trends and how to think about them in your work. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Nikki shares her biggest home staging pet peeves.
