Speaker: Lina Galvão

Join Lina Galvão of Curated Nest for a deep dive into one of the most transformative—but often overlooked—aspects of interior design: styling and staging. From pre-planning and budgeting to sourcing, inventory management, and styling day execution, Lina will walk you through the essential strategies that ensure the final install sings.

This session will cover:

  • Integrating styling into the install so it feels cohesive, not tacked on
  • Internal planning: How to creatively budget, source, and timeline styling components
  • Client communication: From buy-in to budget approvals and final billing
  • Sourcing secrets: Where to shop, what to stock, and managing inventory like a pro
  • On-site styling logistics: Real-world “how-tos” for showstopping spaces
  • The art of the reveal: What to expect (and prep for) once the install is done
  • Styling for photography: Maximizing your portfolio and media potential
  • Helpful resources: When to hire a stylist, go-to books, and digital tools of the trade
  • Whether you're a solo designer or leading a growing team, you’ll leave with a refined toolkit to elevate your final layer and wow clients—and cameras alike.
