Los Angeles is one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world, where design isn’t just aesthetic—it’s a strategy. In a city where $10M+ listings can linger on the market for months, luxury home staging can be the difference between a home that sits and a home that sells.
At Vesta Home, we approach staging as a form of storytelling. We go beyond surface-level decor to create spaces that speak to a buyer's lifestyle, aspirations and desire for livable luxury. Our in-house team of designers use Vesta's proprietary line of furnishings to bring a distinct, design-forward perspective to each listing—resulting in unique interiors that reflect the location and feel of the home.
These three homes show that smart staging isn’t just cosmetic— it’s the competitive edge.
Breaking records in Brentwood: This Vesta-staged $18M estate at 1652 Mandeville Canyon Road sold for more than DOUBLE the neighborhood average—reaching $2,632 per square foot.
For over two decades, this storied Mandeville Canyon estate was home to interior designer Windsor Smith—her signature style still deeply felt in every detail, from the dramatic façade to the iconic kitchen. When it came time to sell, the home received a modern update by Arrow Development and was listed by Cindy Ambuehl.
Our role was to honor its legacy while helping potential buyers imagine its future. Led by our designer Ethan Edmonds, our high-end home staging blended the owner’s original furnishings with Vesta’s high-end inventory for interiors that felt warm, curated and cohesive.
In the grand yet intimate family room, we used our Botoga coffee table to ground the space—its ash wood base and stone top tying in with the marble fireplace and echoing the estate’s refined materiality. The shelves were styled throughout the home with an editorial eye: hand-thrown ceramics, vintage finds and art books that made the home feel not just luxurious, but truly lived in.
The result? A sale that turned heads and set a new benchmark for staging luxury homes in Brentwood.
Listed, loved, and long gone—808 San Vicente found its buyer for $11.7M in just 21 days.
Back-to-back wins for Cindy Ambuehl’s team—this time in Santa Monica. This 8,189-square-foot Traditional estate was staged by Vesta designer Ryan Worthington, who brought a soft, elevated approach to its black-and-white architectural palette. Set behind gates on a prized corner lot, the home features a striking contrast of bright interiors with black detailing; our home styling was designed to mirror and soften that vision.
Ryan selected creamy upholstered sofas and natural linen textures to enhance the home’s light-filled interiors. Raw wood coffee tables introduced an organic counterpoint to the crisp architecture, while black chrome accents brought a contemporary edge and echoed the checkerboard tile in the entryway. Our Valentina counter stools, with their matte chrome bases and linen-upholstered seats, created the perfect juxtaposition, making them the ideal finishing touch for the kitchen island.
In the living room, we paired a bold abstract artwork in black and white above the marble fireplace and grounded the seating area with a large, neutral rug with black stripes—further highlighting the home's palette. The vibrant greenery outside the windows provided the room’s only burst of color.
A curated dream with contrast in all the right places—no wonder this one didn’t last. Listed, styled and snapped up in just three weeks.
Staged to sold, over ask: this Spanish Revival standout at 2656 Locksley Place closed for $200K over asking in under 30 days.
Sold by Brock & Lori Harris Real Estate, this 3.2M Spanish Revival home in Silver Lake was designed to stand out—and it did. Vesta Home’s L.A. Senior Creative Director, Kiel Wuellner, staged the 3,582-square-foot residence in a style that nodded to its architectural roots while feeling fresh.
Kiel brought in rich woods, vintage pieces and eclectic accents to create an inviting feel. He chose a palette that picked up on the earth tones in the custom tiles and paint, infusing the home in comfort and subtle nostalgia. From the dramatic great room to the moody primary suite, every space was designed to capture imagination—a strategy that helped this home sell quickly, confidently, over asking and a standout example of real estate home staging for luxury properties.
