ES Design Studio and Elite Staging and Design

LOCATED IN INDIAN LAND, SC, ES Design Studio and Elite Staging and Design have been transforming homes in the Charlotte area since 2018. Led by Kelly Hickman and David Melvin, this full-service interior design and staging company has earned a stellar reputation for delivering stunning results. With a focus on attention to detail and a deep understanding of design principles, Kelly and her team offer services that extend from new construction and renovation to home furnishing, styling and expert staging.

A FULL-SERVICE DESIGN STUDIO

ES Design Studio offers a unique, comprehensive service that sets them apart. Their expertise covers every aspect of interior design, from managing construction and renovation projects to selecting and curating furnishings and accessories. “We are your liaison between contractors and vendors,” explains Kelly. “Our team manages budget expectations while ensuring that every space we design is cohesive and balanced.” Their interior design services extend beyond selecting furniture. “We curate every detail – from lighting to rugs, art and accessories.”

One standout feature of their service is the ability to loan furniture to design clients while they wait for their custom-made pieces to arrive. This ensures that clients can enjoy beautiful and functional living spaces throughout the entire design process, a rare offering in the industry.

STAGING AND STYLING

For staging clients, Elite Staging and Design creates beautifully styled rooms that are meticulously curated by award-winning interior designers, a service uncommon in the staging business. David and Kelly pay careful attention to the details and make sure selected furniture, rugs, art and accessories are the proper scale needed to best compliment the rooms being staged. They partner with top real estate professionals in BCC and nearby communities, assisting homeowners in gaining top dollar for their homes. Since 2018, they have staged over 300 homes in the Charlotte Metro area; nearly 20% are in BCC.

SUCCESS STORIES FROM SATISFIED CLIENTS

The transformative power of Elite Staging and Design’s work is evident in the feedback from their satisfied clients. One customer shares, “The Elite Design team made my room look better than I ever thought possible. The furniture has the quality and comfort I wanted. David’s layout and design, with the new furniture, made the room feel much larger and stylish.”

Kelly’s expertise in staging has also helped numerous clients sell their homes quickly and at top value. A satisfied customer praises her work, states, “Kelly was absolutely wonderful to work with. She and her team function like a well-oiled machine, from delivery of furnishings to design to final pick up. Kelly helped my mom sell her condo in Ballantyne with her staging expertise. With her help, my mom was able to sell her condo in under three weeks, and visitors had nothing but positive things to say about the decorations.”

ADVICE FOR HOMEOWNERS

Kelly and David’s years of experience have taught them the importance of consulting a professional early in the design or staging process. “It’s best for your budget and timeline to consult a professional from the beginning rather than making mistakes and having to do it twice,” Kelly advises. One of the most common issues they encounter is homeowners purchasing expensive furniture that is not properly scaled for the room. “It’s heartbreaking when we meet with buyers who have just purchased expensive furniture, only to realize that it doesn’t fit the space,” says Kelly.

With hundreds of successful projects under their belt, ES Design Studio and Elite Staging and Design are your trusted partners in transforming any space into a masterpiece. Whether you’re staging your home for sale or seeking expert interior design services, Kelly, David and their team deliver results that are both stylish and functional.
