Vancouver, BC — Ready Set Show, a company offering a full range of rental furnishings to home stagers, will celebrate its official grand opening on September 10.
Founded by two North Vancouver-based entrepreneurs, Trisha Scott and Grace Sikich, the company fills an under-serviced niche in the burgeoning home staging industry by providing monthly rentals of a spectrum of furnishings, including everything from sofas and tables to toss cushions and vases to artwork and lamps.
Until now, most home stagers — design professionals who redecorate houses on the market to appeal to the broadest number of prospective buyers — had little option but to purchase their own furnishings. This amounted to a significant expense which, unfortunately, often mitigated much of the resulting profit.
But that was before Scott and Sikich entered the scene. As working mothers, the dynamic duo is pleased to have filled a market niche while indirectly assisting other women in the predominantly female-dominated field of home staging.
“We’re offering a service that will help other women to succeed, many of whom are also trying to make a living while juggling full-time family responsibilities,” says Scott. “Our rental prices are the best in town, which will go a long way toward helping them realize maximum profit.”
Ready Set Show is also well positioned to offer value-added service to its clients. Before shifting its focus to rentals, the company provided home staging services to a large contingent of clients across the Lower Mainland. Sikich, a registered interior designer and BCIT instructor, is happy to continue the tradition, offering design consultation on request to home stagers.
“Interior design is my passion, and we’re a service oriented company so that’s one of the extra perks Ready Set Show is happy to provide to its clients,” she says.
