Brass & Batten Design

Still kinda surreal seeing SIX staged homes in this year’s Parade. When I started Brass & Batten, this is exactly the kind of work I dreamed of being part of.

Getting to work alongside builders and designers that trust what I bring to a space genuinely means so much to me. I put a lot into every install and I think people can feel that when they walk through these homes.

Go check out all of our staged homes during Parade season:

"Beautiful rooms don't sell houses. Emotional alignment does." 🛋️✨

When a high-end buyer walks into a vacant property, they aren't looking at the square footage—they're looking for their next chapter. But an empty luxury home doesn't feel like a sanctuary; it feels like an echo chamber.

At Brass & Batten, we don't just "fill space." We stage with deep intention, exact scale, and bespoke design so that the layout immediately makes sense, feels right, and connects emotionally the second they step through the door.

We deliver luxury standards for every single listing because your brand—and your seller’s equity—demands it.

Design-driven staging is the difference between 'for sale' and 'sold.'

High-end sellers in West Michigan deserve a presentation that matches the value of their investment. Vacant rooms often feel cold and small, but our strategic layouts define the purpose of every square inch.

We help buyers bridge the gap between 'empty space' and 'home.' Ready to elevate your next listing? Get a quote for your listing today www.brassandbattendesign.com/vacantstagingquote

Still kind of crazy to even say this… Brass & Batten officially has its own box truck.

What started with a vision and a few pieces of inventory has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined. There were a lot of long days, risks, and moments where I had no idea how any of this would work out, but God has truly guided every step of this business.

Very thankful for my husband, every realtor, builder, homeowner, friend, and supporter that’s trusted me along the way.

Design That Sells. Always.

Huge thank you to A1 Graphics & Designs for the decal work and getting it done just in time for parade season.

They don’t just buy a house; they buy the next chapter of their lives.

In West Michigan’s luxury market, buyers are looking for a feeling, not just a floor plan. We don’t just move furniture; we curate a story that allows a buyer to walk in and immediately see themselves hosting Sunday brunch or winding down after a long day.

For Realtors, this means more than just a 'pretty' house—it means a listing that stops the scroll and turns clicks into showings.

Here’s why this room feels so cohesive.

The biggest challenge with this layout was the length of the living room. If I treated it as one giant seating area it would’ve felt awkward immediately, so I needed to break the room into two spaces while still making everything flow naturally together.

I made the fireplace section the main living area and turned the front portion into more of a sitting room moment. The goal was separation without making the room feel disconnected.

The cohesion comes from carrying the same palette, tones, and materials throughout both spaces.

The burlwood coffee table ties into the burlwood frame, the rugs pull similar tones, and the scale of the furniture and rugs was carefully selected so neither side overpowered the other.

A room like this falls apart fast when the staging feels disconnected or the scale is off.
This is what you get when you stage with us.

Our expertise matters. Every decision is intentional long before install day.
