Luxury Home Staging in Metro Detroit.
Italcasa stages luxury listings and developer model homes with curated Italian furniture — fast turnarounds, editorial styling, and proven listing performance.
Listings sell faster — and for more — when they’re staged properly.
Italcasa is a luxury home staging company serving Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe, and the greater Metro Detroit market. We stage vacant listings, occupied homes, and developer model homes with our own inventory of Italian furniture, lighting, art, and accessories.
Every project is run by a single designer end-to-end — walkthrough, specification, install, photography prep, and de-install — so the home photographs at the level its price tag demands.
Staged homes sell faster. Often for more.
In the luxury Metro Detroit market, staging is the highest-ROI prep work a seller can do — and the difference between a listing that lingers and one that closes above ask.

Three staging engagements, one designer.
Whether the home is empty, lived-in, or a model home for a new development — every Italcasa staging is led by a single designer and installed by our own crew.
Vacant Home Staging
Full furniture install for empty luxury listings. We supply sofas, beds, dining, rugs, art, and accessories, then style every key room for photography and showings.
- Living, dining, primary bed, primary bath, office
- Furniture, art, lighting, accessories included
- Single-day install · 30-day lease minimum
Occupied Home Staging
An editorial edit of the home you’re still living in. We rearrange, remove, and layer in our own accent pieces so the listing presents at its highest level.
- Room-by-room edit and re-style
- Add-in accessories, art, rugs, lamps
- Designer walkthrough + written plan

From walkthrough to listing-ready in days, not weeks.
A clear, repeatable five-step sequence. Brokers and developers love it because timelines hold and quotes don’t move.

Final styling for your listing photographer — vignettes, layered textiles, lighting, and the last detail pass.
