Simple Elements
Simple Elements is a home staging and interior marketing firm based in Ottawa, Ontario, led by Nicole Schenk. The business applies buyer psychology and neuroaesthetic principles to prepare homes for sale, viewing staging as a strategic marketing tool rather than decorative advice. The company works with homeowners and real estate agents through a three-step process: initial consultation with a tailored visual marketing plan, an action plan addressing editing and necessary preparations, and final styling with furniture placement and accessories. Their approach prioritizes how homes present visually online and in person, focusing effort on a property's strongest features while guiding buyer attention away from distractions. Simple Elements offers multiple service tiers (Standard, Premium, and Executive) with varying levels of support. Nicole serves on the RESA National Board of Directors and previously held leadership roles including RESA Ottawa Chapter President and RESA Ontario Provincial President. She is recognized as a media authority and industry expert featured across multiple publications and news outlets. The business emphasizes intention-driven staging decisions guided by real-life constraints and buyer behavior, rather than generic checklists or trends.
