Staged Homes Co: A Cotswolds Networking Member Turning Design Vision Into Award-Winning Reality

by Boryana Chalakova, STAGED HOMES CO

In the fast-growing world of property staging, one Cotswolds Networking member has been making remarkable waves — both regionally and nationally. Staged Homes Co, founded by Boryana Chalakova, has had an extraordinary year filled with milestones, recognition, and now, award success.

What started as a passion for transforming empty properties into inviting, story-filled homes has quickly evolved into one of the region’s most forward-thinking staging and furnishing companies. With a focus on design that feels fresh, purposeful and commercially effective, Staged Homes Co has become the trusted partner for developers, landlords, investors, and homeowners looking to elevate the appeal — and value — of their spaces.

A Year of Three Major Nominations 2025 has proven to be a standout year for the company, marked by three major award nominations across the property, business, and home-staging industries:

Creative Entrepreneur of the Year (South West)
Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2025

Best HMO Styling
Home Staging Association Awards 2025

Celebrating excellence in designing and furnishing high-occupancy properties — an increasingly in-demand niche.
Finalist, Suppliers Category
Bristol Property Awards 2025
A nod to the company’s reliability, professionalism, and seamless service in the wider property
industry.

Being nominated for three awards in a single year is a rare achievement — particularly for a young and fast-growing business. But the recognition didn’t stop there.

Home Staging Association Award Winners 2025

At the Home Staging Association ceremony in London, Staged Homes Co brought home the Best HMO Styling Award 2025, a category that has grown significantly in importance as investors increasingly seek stylish, high-yield shared living spaces.

This win highlights the company’s ability not only to furnish and present spaces beautifully but also to understand the commercial realities behind each project — ensuring that the design elevates both the aesthetic and the investment return.

Design With Purpose, Not Just Decoration

What sets Staged Homes Co apart is its blend of creativity and strategic thinking. Their approach goes beyond placing furniture in a room; it’s about creating an emotional connection, guiding the eye, and ensuring every space has a defined purpose.

Whether it’s a city-centre apartment, a Cotswolds cottage, or a multi-room HMO, the company shapes each property with a deep understanding of the target buyer or tenant — a skill that continues to earn the team industry-wide praise.

Looking Ahead: Growth, Collaboration, and Raising Industry Standards

With an ever-expanding portfolio across the South West and beyond, Staged Homes Co is set on innovating, inspiring, and raising the bar for property presentation.

The award nominations — and now the win — reflect not only the team’s hard work but also a growing recognition of the impact professional staging has on the UK property market.

As the company continues to grow its partnerships with developers, agents, and investors, one thing is clear: this is just the beginning for Staged Homes Co.
