I’m Laurie Mattson, a nationally recognized home staging expert based in Minneapolis–St. Paul, trusted by top-producing Realtors® and custom home builders to elevate real estate listings, model homes, and new construction properties across the Twin Cities and beyond.

With nearly two decades of experience designing and staging multi-million-dollar homes, luxury listings, and builder showcase properties, I know what today’s buyers respond to—and what makes them act. My focus? Home staging consultations that help listings stand out online, sell quickly, and maximize perceived value.
No fluff. No truckload of rental furniture. Just smart, effective pre-listing advice that turns homes into buyer magnets—at any price point.

Because whether it’s a starter home, an occupied listing, investment property or a luxury model home, every property deserves to stand out.

Model Homes That Sell the Dream

In new construction, your model home is the sales pitch. It’s got one job—make buyers fall head over heels. That’s where I come in. Laurie Mattson Interiors transforms blank slates into showstoppers that make people linger, envision, and sign. I specialize in staging luxury model homes and multi-million-dollar properties that demand a higher level of design—and deliver a higher return.

Why Builders Love Working with Me:

  • Instant Impact: I create model homes that stop the scroll and spark emotional connection from the second buyers walk in.
  • Custom Strategy: Every design is tailored to your ideal buyer—not cookie-cutter styling that misses the mark.
  • Boosted Profits: My model homes sell faster, with higher perceived value, and make your next builds easier to pre-sell.
  • Showroom-Ready Photos: Eye-catching design that photographs like a dream and draws in serious traffic.
  • Stress-Free Process: You focus on building. I’ll handle the furniture, layout, styling, and final polish.
  • Build Your Brand: A beautifully staged model tells buyers you care about quality, from foundation to final accessory.

Whether it’s a starter home, an occupied listing, investment property or a luxury model home, every property deserves to stand out.

Home Staging ConsultationS FAQs

Why does every listing need a staging consultation—even in a hot market?

Because even in fast markets, presentation drives price. A consultation aligns the home with buyer expectations, boosts perceived value, and sets your listing up for stronger offers. No second-guessing—just a strategic action plan that gets results.

What do you look for during a consultation?

Everything. From furniture layout to lighting, color, scale, and style—we assess the entire property with a buyer’s eye and a designer’s brain. You’ll get room-by-room recommendations, including what to remove, what to highlight, and what small changes can make the biggest impact.

How long does a staging consultation take?

Most take 1.5–2 hours, depending on the size of the home. You’ll walk away with a detailed checklist and a prioritized design strategy tailored to your listing’s price point, location, and ideal buyer.

Do you offer virtual staging consults?

Yes. For out-of-area listings or tight timelines, we offer virtual consultations with photo or video walkthroughs. You still get the same expert insights and actionable styling advice—just done remotely.

Styled to Shoot FAQs

Why invest in photo styling if the home is already staged?

Because photos sell the home before a buyer ever steps inside. Styled to Shoot ensures your listing looks magazine-worthy online. We dial in the final details—pillows fluffed, lighting perfected, accessories adjusted—to create scroll-stopping shots that capture attention and drive showings.

What’s included in Styled to Shoot?

We style every room to be camera-ready. This includes lighting tweaks, furniture positioning, accessory layering, and on-brand styling that speaks to your target buyer. It’s a powerful marketing tool, and it makes your listing photos pop.

Can this be done on the same day as photography?

Absolutely. We typically schedule this right before your photographer arrives, so the home looks its absolute best the moment the camera starts rolling.

Finishing Touches FAQs

What if the seller has great furniture but it still feels incomplete?

That’s where Finishing Touches comes in. We layer in just-right accessories—like art, pillows, lighting, and décor—that elevate the look without requiring a full staging install. It’s fast, impactful, and cost-effective.

How does sourcing work?

We shop with intention—online or in-store—based on the home’s style, budget, and market. You’ll receive clickable links, a shopping list, or full-service sourcing with local pick-up coordination. Ideal for listings that need that last 10% of polish.

Is this just for Realtors, or can sellers use it too?

Both. Sellers love it when they want to DIY but need help finding the right finishing pieces. Realtors love it when a home needs more style but doesn’t justify full staging.

Staging and decor for home

Laurie’s staging was a game-changer. From her Top Ten Impact List to photo day, she made our home shine—so much so that the photographer didn’t need to move a thing! We got an offer within ten days and tons of compliments on the design. Her guidance made showings easy, and her pieces even work in our new home. I am so grateful for her talent, kindness, and eye for color!

- Steve & Trisha R., Homeowner

As a high-end real estate agent, my partnership with Laurie since 2013 has significantly contributed to my success. Laurie’s Visual Marketing Plan Consultations and meticulous attention to detail consistently enhance the “wow’ factor and perceived value of m listings.

- Aaron Lowe, Compass

Laurie has the remarkable ability to turn my listings from ordinary to extraordinary. After Laurie’s expertise came into play, a previous listed property that had lingered on the market for over 400 days was sold in just 28 days.

- Brian Benson, Compass

We have hired Laurie many times to stage our model homes (75+ model homes) in the Twin Cities since 2013...she does a great job with bringing our models/specs to life to show how they can be lived in by our customers who walk through them. Thanks, Laurie, for everything you do and continue to do!
