Design Style Kingston
Hi, I’m Susan Poffley, the owner of Design Style Kingston. I’m an Award Winning Professional Home Stager and I absolutely love what I do!! I am a proud member of the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA®) and I was awarded “2024 Top Ten Rising Star Occupied Staging North America”, as voted by my peers.
As a certified staging expert I help your home look bigger, brighter, and more updated for prospective buyers. It is well known that home staging helps sell homes quicker and for more money. Over the years I have staged several homes and helped clients expedite the sale of their home. Homeowners are comfortable working with me and I take great pride in showcasing the best attributes of their home–this is no “cookie cutter” approach! I take my time to select the perfect items to complement your home from my extensive staging inventory.
I completed a professional home staging course in January 2023, finished my CSP Certified Color Consultant® training in March 2024, and recently completed my CSP Real Estate Feng Shui Specialist® training in August 2024. My other education was a Ph.D. in Psychology–I was a Psychologist (now retired); I worked for the federal government for 25 years.
I really like working on updating furniture and decor pieces that I find from days gone by. I also enjoy helping clients update the furniture and decor in their spaces. I work within a client’s design style and help them solve various design dilemmas. I started designing early in life (at age 10, I was drawing up designs for my future apartment and small bespoke furniture!). It feels like I have always had an innate understanding of what looks good where. I keep up with design trends and participate in regular training opportunities. I look forward to discussing your redesign needs with you!
