The Academy of Home Staging was founded by Kim Kapellusch, owner of the eminently successful Style my Space Home Design Company. Based in the Santa Clarita Valley, Kim serves the greater Los Angeles area, earning praise from Realtors and homeowners alike for her keen sense of style and unique ability to bring out a home's best assets. The true measure of Kim's success is found in the hundreds of thousands of dollars she has made for her clients who have sold their homes faster, and at higher prices, than they otherwise would have.

Kim is a former real estate agent who has more than 15 years of experience in home staging, model home design, consulting for remodel projects and investment flips, redesign, set design, and art direction. A recognized expert in the field of home staging, Kim has been featured in The Signal, Daily Breeze, and San Fernando Valley Business Journal newspapers, on public access television, SCTV, KCET, and the Jeff Eisenberg radio show.

Seeing continued industry demand for skilled home staging professionals, and a lack of hands-on training programs, Kim established The Academy of Home Staging with the goal of creating a valuable resource for interested students. With a focus on teaching quality design, along with sound business practices, The Academy is unique among industry training programs.
