Staging at the Highest Level: 8 Homes Over $20M

At the ultra-luxury level, home staging is more than aesthetics—it’s a critical sales strategy. Buyers in the $20M+ market aren’t just purchasing a house; they’re investing in a lifestyle, so every design choice must highlight the home’s unique selling points and evoke effortless luxury that resonates with high-net-worth buyers. 

Scale is essential—grand entryways, soaring ceilings, and expansive floor plans require furnishings that match their proportions to create a move-in-ready experience. Customization is equally key, with each home demanding a tailored approach based on location, buyer demographic, and architectural style. A Malibu estate may call for organic modern statement pieces, while a historic Manhattan townhouse benefits from layered textures and classic accents.

Beyond decor, ultra-luxury staging defines functionality, ensuring that secondary spaces like wellness rooms, home theaters, and wine cellars are just as impactful as the primary living areas. Thoughtful staging helps buyers connect emotionally with the home, reinforcing its value.

Over the years, we’ve staged some of the most exceptional $20M+ properties across the country—each with its own distinct design narrative. Here,  eight standouts where staging played a pivotal role in elevating the listing:

The Venue: Global Ambassador

The Global Ambassador in Phoenix proved to be an impeccable venue for our photoshoot. With its modern, chic design and luxurious amenities, it offered an atmosphere of sophistication and comfort. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an ambiance that was both elegant and welcoming. The hotel’s stylish decor and outstanding service set the perfect scene for our fashion-filled adventure.

Prepping with Dolled Up Lux

No photoshoot is complete without a bit of glamour, and for that, we enlisted the expertise of Dolled Up Lux. Their talented makeup artist worked her magic on me, ensuring I looked fabulous for our big day. From flawless foundation to the perfect lip shade, she had us ready to shine. And let's not forget Blü, who also got a bit of pampering! Although Blü didn’t need any makeup, a good brushing and a matching shirt ensured my four-legged friend was photo-ready as well.

Captured by Sage and Honey Photo

The creative owner from Sage and Honey Photography was instrumental in bringing our vision to life. She captured every moment with her unique artistic touch, blending the essence of Trad Fox Bags with the charm of our surroundings. Her ability to capture both the luxury of the Global Ambassador and the personality of Blü was truly remarkable. Each photograph told a story, blending high fashion with a dash of canine charisma.

The Photoshoot: A Day with Blü

As the cameras flashed and the lights danced, Blü was right there with us, adding a touch of joy and spontaneity to the shoot. The Global Ambassador’s chic lounges and elegant outdoor spaces served as the perfect backdrop for our photos. Every setting showcased the beauty of Trad Fox Bags, while Blü’s playful presence brought a unique warmth and charm to the images.

The day was a whirlwind of energy and creativity, with Blü effortlessly stealing the spotlight in several shots. Whether lounging in a stylish corner or frolicking in the garden, our furry friend added an extra layer of magic to the shoot. The synergy between the stunning environment, and Blü’s irresistible charm made for a memorable and delightful day.

Reflecting on the Experience

As the day came to a close, it was clear that this photoshoot was more than just a professional endeavor—it was a celebration of style, collaboration, and the joy of having Blü by my side. The Global Ambassador provided the ideal setting, Dolled Up Lux ensured I looked fabulous, and Sage and Honey Photography captured it all with unparalleled creativity.

We left with a collection of stunning images and cherished memories, thanks in no small part to Blü’s delightful presence. It was a day of fashion, fun, and a bit of canine magic, setting a high standard for future shoots. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making our first Trad Fox Bags photoshoot truly exceptional.
