Why should you train with The DSA?  Let’s start with a little history lesson. Our founding team has been offering staging and decorating services since the 70’s. We were staging before the term was even created and were part of the early years of HGTV. But we took a different approach, we were Interior Decorators with Real Estate licenses that understood the market…we were Decorators that understood merchandising a space helped it to sell.

In addition, our design services met our clients where they were, with services such as One Day Decorating, Interior Redesign, Full-Service Decorating and more.  Our vast experience led to the original Redesign class in the country, the backbone of many redesign classes still taught by other trainers. All of this led to the founding of The Decorating and Staging Academy in 1999, where we continue to offer training from the most experienced trainers in the country. We are Interior Decorators that know this industry inside and out.

The FAB System will arm you with the understanding of how to create beautiful spaces that will allow you to maximize profits…without spending a penny on inventory, storage spaces, moving men, and more.  This training will allow you to offer FAST services, like Redesign and conventional interior decorating.
