About
Solveig is the founder of The Real Estate Stylist, a boutique staging company rooted in intentional design and curated style. Based in Whatcom County, Washington, her work is centered around creating spaces that connect emotionally with buyers—spaces that feel lived-in, elevated, and thoughtfully styled.
With a background in real estate and a deep understanding of what sells, Solveig approaches staging not as decoration, but as a strategic art form. Every project is tailored, using a mix of layered textures, natural elements, and carefully selected furnishings to highlight a home’s best features and create a cohesive visual story.
What began as a passion for interiors evolved into a lifestyle brand and an online Shoppe, where Solveig brings together her eye for design and love for quality, collected pieces. Her work reflects a Northwest sensibility—organic, warm, and refined—with subtle influences from her time in the desert Southwest.
Having staged over 100 homes, Solveig brings intention, artistry, and authenticity to every space she touches.
What is
Home Staging?
Home staging is the art of intentionally furnishing and styling a home to tell its story and elevate its appeal. At its core, boutique staging goes beyond simply making a space look nice—it creates an emotional connection for buyers the moment they walk through the door. Through carefully curated furnishings, layered textures, and thoughtful design, staging transforms a property into a warm, inviting environment that highlights its unique character. The result? A home that stands out, resonates deeply with buyers, and ultimately sells faster and often for a higher price!
Solveig gets a 10/10 rating from me on the staging of our Arizona airbnb. She blended my vision with her style to create a fresh upgrade to our home, and the finished outcome is perfection! She had clear communication throughout the process and has continued to check in on how things are going a year after completion. I am so grateful to the work Solveig has done for us to make our Arizona house feel like home to our guests and to us.

Solveig did an incredible job staging our newest listing in Bellingham—a beautifully restored historic home. She perfectly captured the charm and character of the era while adding just the right modern touches. Her eye for detail and ability to honor a home’s history truly sets her apart. One of the most talented stagers I’ve had the pleasure of working with!
