Before & After Designs
Before & After Designs is a professional home staging and redesign business serving Northwest Indiana and Chicago suburbs, including Lowell, Crown Point, Valparaiso, and surrounding communities. The company works with homeowners, real estate agents, investors, and developers to prepare properties for sale using a structured 8-step approach. Their core staging service transforms occupied, vacant, and model homes by maximizing buyer appeal and generating strong listing photography. For occupied homes, they strategically repurpose existing furnishings and decor to align with buyer expectations. Vacant properties receive full styling to create emotional connections during showings. Beyond staging, Before & After Designs offers redesign services for residential and commercial spaces, organization services for cluttered homes and offices, holiday decorating, vacation rental staging (particularly on Michigan's coast), and power shopping assistance. Their philosophy centers on working within clients' budgets and using what they already own whenever possible. Owner Jennifer Carr leads the team with HSR certification and accreditation through RESA, a rigorous home staging training program. Clients appreciate the personalized consultation process that establishes a clear action plan for maximizing returns on investment and reducing the stress of selling.
