THE HOME STYLIST was founded by acclaimed interior decorator Julie Dana nearly 10 years ago. Ms. Dana recognized a growing need among her clients for an economical alternative to complete home makeovers. She has since worked tirelessly to create programs that support those interested in redoing their homes themselves. And still to this day, every single project is handled personally by Ms. Dana.

Everyone from the Chicago Tribune to the Boston Herald has sought out Julie Dana for her expertise in home staging and interior design. Known for being one the premier home stagers in the country, Ms. Dana has been featured in countless articles on the subject. See the Press page  for highlights of our national press clippings.
