Home Staging

Your home isn’t just a collection of things—it’s a living, breathing reflection of who you are and what you need. At Viva Habitat, we believe in styling that goes deeper. Our Intentional Home Styling Reset isn’t about trends or shopping lists—it’s about realignment, reconnection, and creating a space that truly supports your life today. We explore what makes intentional styling so powerful—and why it might be the shift your home (and heart) has been craving.

Creating Spaces Buyers Want to Call Home

Unlock Your Home’s Full Potential: The Power of Home Staging

Selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s about creating an emotional connection with potential buyers. At Viva Habitat, we believe that every home has a story to tell, and home staging is the key to making that story come to life. Whether you're a homeowner looking to sell faster, a realtor aiming to enhance your listings, or a property developer seeking to showcase your investment, strategic home staging can make all the difference. But what exactly is home staging, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in.

Why Home Staging Matters

Imagine walking into a home that instantly feels warm, inviting, and beautifully curated. The space flows effortlessly, allowing you to envision your future life there. This is the power of home staging.

Studies show that staged homes sell up to 73% faster and for a higher price than non-staged homes. In today’s competitive market, buyers often make a decision within seconds of stepping through the door—or even before, based on listing photos. A well-staged home not only attracts more interest but also maximizes its perceived value, helping sellers achieve a faster and more profitable sale.

As the industry has evolved, so too has the expertise required to stage effectively. Monika Griffith, founder of Viva Habitat, brings over 25 years of experience in home staging, interior design, and styling across the USA, Germany, and Spain. Her deep understanding of buyer psychology, design trends, and real estate marketing allows her to tailor staging strategies to different markets, ensuring each property is positioned for success. Additionally, Monika attends industry furniture fairs twice a year, staying ahead of emerging trends. With Viva Habitat's online furniture and decoration shop, she has access to a vast pool of styles, including sustainable options, ensuring a perfect match for any home. With our expertise and market insight, we help properties stand out both online and in-person, giving them the competitive edge they need to sell.

Our mission is simple: to transform homes into irresistible, market-ready properties that captivate buyers at first sight.

What Sets Viva Habitat Apart?

Unlike simple home decorating, staging is a strategic process designed to highlight a home’s best features and minimize any weaknesses. At Viva Habitat, we tailor our staging approach to suit each property’s unique characteristics and target audience.

🔹 Occupied Home Staging – Perfect for homeowners who are living in their property while selling. We work with existing furniture and decor, making strategic enhancements to create an inviting atmosphere that appeals to buyers.

🔹 Vacant Home Staging & Show Home Styling – Empty spaces can feel cold and uninspiring. Our furniture and decor packages transform vacant properties into warm, stylish, and move-in-ready homes.

🔹 Luxury Home Staging – For high-end properties, we curate sophisticated, premium staging solutions that reflect the elegance and exclusivity of the home.

🔹 Realtor Partnerships – We collaborate with realtors to provide professional, realtor-funded staging solutions, helping them elevate their listings, reduce time on the market, and increase buyer interest.

Every staging project is approached with precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of buyer psychology to ensure maximum impact.

The Viva Habitat Home Staging Process

Our proven process ensures that your property is staged efficiently and effectively, with minimal disruption to your daily life.

✅ Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
We start with an in-depth walk-through to assess the home’s strengths and areas for improvement. For occupied homes, we provide specific recommendations on decluttering and arrangement to enhance the flow and functionality of each space.

✅ Step 2: Hands-On Staging & Styling
Once the plan is in place, we get to work transforming your home. Whether it’s optimizing furniture placement, adding stylish decor, or bringing in rental pieces to complete the look, our team ensures that every detail is carefully curated to create a show-ready space.

✅ Step 3: Professional Photography Preparation
First impressions happen online! We advise homeowners and realtors on how to best prepare for professional real estate photography to make the listing stand out.

✅ Step 4: Viewings & Maintenance Tips
We don’t just stage and leave. We equip homeowners with simple strategies to maintain the staged look for viewings while still living comfortably in their space.

Why Realtors & Property Developers Love Staging

Realtors and property developers know that staging is a powerful sales tool. A staged home helps potential buyers connect emotionally, making it easier for them to imagine themselves living there.

For Realtors: Staging enhances listing photos, drives more traffic to open houses, and helps homes sell faster and at a higher price. It also strengthens your reputation as a professional who invests in presenting properties at their best.

For Property Developers: Show Home styling creates a lifestyle buyers aspire to, increasing interest and securing faster sales. A well-staged show home can be the difference between a quick sale and a stagnant listing.

Your Home’s Best First Impression Starts Here

At Viva Habitat, we believe that every home deserves to shine. Our expertise in design, staging, and styling ensures that your property stands out in today’s competitive market.

Where You Land

You feel clear.
Your home reflects you.
There’s more space to breathe—and room for what’s next.

Your home doesn’t need to be perfect.
It just needs to feel like it belongs to you again.

Your home no longer feels like a reflection of who you are
You’re craving more clarity, calm, or softness in your space
You feel energetically sensitive to clutter or visual noise
You’re overwhelmed by traditional design services or big-budget makeovers
You’re drawn to slow living, intentional change, and quiet beauty

What this is NOT

We believe in clarity and simplicity. This is not:

A full interior design or renovation plan
Architectural or construction-related work
Furniture assembly or hands-on labor
A one-size-fits-all makeover

Whether it’s one room or your entire home, this is a step-by-step collaboration that redefines your space with grounded elegance—aligned with your needs, energy, and taste.

Customer reviews

How our clients feel about us:

Styling Project 'empty nesters'

There are no words to describe Monika's dedication to this project. Her professionalism and commitment to detail were outstanding, along with her ability to "think out-side-the box" and go 'above and beyond' anything I could have expected, from design, staging, to addressing many issues I was geographically unable to tend to myself. You will be receiving much more than a talented "Stager/Designer" when you add Monika to your team!

Michele H.

Show Home Staging/Styling

Monika helped Homes In Partnership with our model home staging. She did an impeccable job with modern features. We enjoyed her timeliness and professionalism. Homes In Partnership will gladly use Viva Habitat Home Staging again and refer for any outside services.

Homes in Partnership

Interior ReDesign

We felt she did an absolute professional job in communicating with us and executing her wisdom in the styling of our home. We felt she had our best interests at heart and was very respectful to us in these emotional times. A job well done. Money well spent as she also pointed out numerous ideas we had not thought of.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between the Home Styling Session and the Interior Redesign service?

The Home Styling Session is a focused, one-time session designed to help you shift the look and feel of your current space using what you already have. It’s ideal for smaller resets or when something feels “off” and you need clarity, calm, and a fresh perspective.

The Interior Redesign service is a more in-depth collaboration—perfect if you’re ready to fully reimagine a space or several rooms. This includes concept development, material and furniture planning, and ongoing support to help you bring the vision to life.

Can I start with a Styling Session and later upgrade to a full redesign?

Yes. Many clients begin with a Home Styling Session and realize they want to go deeper. If you decide to move forward with a redesign afterward, your styling session can help inform the larger project.

What happens during the 30-minute Discovery Call for Interior Redesign?

This call is a gentle introduction where we talk about your space, your needs, and whether a redesign is the right fit. It’s a no-pressure conversation—no design advice is given here. If we’re aligned, we’ll outline the next steps and your tailored quote.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

Yes. If you're located nearby (Spain – Greater Malaga area), in-person visits are possible and often beneficial, especially for styling or on-site support during redesign projects. Otherwise, all services are fully available online.

Can you help me choose furniture or decor?

Absolutely. The optional Sourcing Add-On is available for Home Styling clients who need help finding just a few meaningful pieces. For Interior Redesign clients, sourcing is part of the full process and tailored to your style, space, and budget.

Do I need to buy new furniture to work with you?

Not at all. In both services, we begin with what you already own. Any new suggestions are made with intention—not for the sake of filling space, but to support your vision and how you want to feel in your home.

How do I know if this is right for me?

If you’re seeking a grounded, soulful approach to shaping your space—one that values simplicity, emotion, and meaning over trends—then you’re in the right place. These offerings are for people who want their home to feel like an honest reflection of where they are and where they’re going next.
