Who We Are & Our Mission

Less is more, by design.

Bonjour! Staging is a Bay Area-based staging and design studio, founded and run by women who believe less is more. We create beautiful, functional spaces that highlight the best of every property — using premium furniture, decor, and accessories chosen for each home rather than pulled from a generic set.

Our minimalist approach helps buyers picture themselves living in the space — which is exactly what helps a property sell faster, and for more.

We know selling a home is stressful, so we work closely with every client — agent or homeowner — to keep the process smooth from walkthrough to install, holding every listing to the same standard of care, whatever its size.

As a women-owned and -operated company, we believe our differences are our edge. Our stagers and designers bring a range of backgrounds and perspectives to every project, which shows in work that never feels templated.

Meet the Founder

Sherman Xie

Founder · CEO & Lead Designer

Sherman's path to design began behind the wheel — touring hundreds of Bay Area homes as a working realtor and building an eye for what makes a space feel right. That instinct became Bonjour! Staging: a studio built to turn empty or outdated rooms into spaces buyers can picture themselves living in.

Beyond staging for sale, Sherman leads full interior design engagements — from concept through furniture placement — plus move-in-ready and Airbnb set-ups, bringing the same attention to every project, whether it's a five-day install or a full renovation.

“Bonjour Staging isn't just a business — it's a lifelong pursuit of artistic expression and innovation.”

FAQs

Questions Bay Area sellers & agents ask

What is the difference between the Classic and Signature Staging Collections?

Our Classic Collection focuses on clean, on-trend staging essentials — living, dining, and primary bedroom spaces styled to show well in photos and in person. The Signature Collection expands on that with a fuller furniture package across additional rooms, premium accessory styling, and more customization to match a property's architecture and target buyer. We'll help you choose the right tier during your consultation.

How does professional staging impact sale price and days on market in the Bay Area?

Professionally staged homes tend to photograph better, show better at open houses, and help buyers picture themselves in the space — all of which typically support a faster sale and stronger offers compared to vacant or lived-in, unstaged listings. We're happy to walk through results from recent Bonjour!-staged properties during your consultation.

What is the typical timeline for staging a vacant vs. occupied home?

Vacant homes are typically staged within one to two days of receiving access, once the walkthrough and design plan are set. Occupied homes usually take a little longer, since staging is layered around the homeowner's existing furniture and schedule. We'll map out exact timing together — ideally starting one to two weeks before your target list date.

Do you handle full interior design renovations alongside staging?

Yes — beyond staging for sale, our team also takes on full interior design projects: kitchen, bathroom, and fireplace transformations, move-in-ready set-ups, and Airbnb styling. If you're picturing longer-term changes rather than just a staging package, mention it during your consultation and we'll scope it together.
