The service provided was exceptional. I highly recommend using the amazing staging service provided by Mark Luther Design.

It was an wonderful experience to work with Mark. Mark is extremely talented with great taste for home design. He was able to help us with our exiting furniture and decorations - we were so impressed by how nice our home can look like after his magical re-arrangement! In addition, he provided many practical suggestions to prepare our house from buyers' perspectives, including how to set up warm and welcoming environment with different elements. We found it greatly helpful. He is also such a pleasant person to work with. Fun, friendly and down to the earth. I would definitely recommend Mark and his team if you are planning to sell your property. read more

My wife and I had different moments. For me it was pictures 5 and 6, when I saw how the decorative pieces in the dining room connected to those in the living room, and I saw how those two grand spaces would be tied together into the place where our family would gather each Thanksgiving and every cozy snowy Sunday afternoon in between. For my wife, it was picture 4, and the subtle design choices that made the office, a place she would work, feel like home. Intellectually we understood that a listing is not a home. We knew that paint color could be changed and furniture is not a fixture, but after months of house hunting there were many times when we went back and forth between the floor plan and the pictures of empty rooms trying to make sense of the space. There was more than one house that had the right square footage and bathrooms, in the right location, that we never visited because the mismatched pictures didn't connect with us in the way we "knew" our home would. It was a little irrational, certainly, but purchasing a home is about what feels right, not just what is right. We are deeply appreciative of Mark's work, for enrapturing us, and pulling us in, and making sure that we felt an instantaneous connection with the home we so deeply love. In fact, we loved the staging work of the Mark Luther Design team so much, we purchased more than half of the pieces. Mark has been a delight to work with, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

Mark and his team recently staged our home for sale. They were not only friendly and professional, but they made what can usually be a very stressful situation, easy and fun. The team worked quickly, and efficiently, and everything looked great. We highly recommend Mark and his team! Susan M. read more

We hired Mark staging and design of our interiors when marketing our house. I cannot say enough great things about working with him. His creativity, taste, style and eye helped totally transform our house. He thinks of everything and I hope we get to work with him on design again soon. He is also very professional, easy to work with, and a great communicator. Selling a home can be stressful for all the obvious reasons. Mark is a high integrity and talented designer who makes it all better. read more

We were introduced to Mark Luther through a good friend. Mark was hired to helped us navigate through the complete redesign of our family room. Our goal was to complete the project prior to Xmas. Mark was invaluable in all aspects of the project to help us achieve that goal. He helped us find a GC, prioritized the selection process to meet our timeline, guided us through the acquisition of the following items: furniture (including fabrics), fireplace granite, wall paint, recessed lighting, designer rug, and wall trim package, etc. MLD will be our go to company for all future projects. read more

I hired Mark Luther Design to design my kitchen. It turned out to be the best thing I ever did. His approach to the flow of the traffic and the colors of wood and granite made it sensational. He is very professional and is easy to work with. All of his suggestions and ideas worked out perfectly. Then, I put my house on the market to sell and Mark Luther Design edited my house and staged it for sale. He made it look so appealing. And it sold within a short time. The buyers indicated the house was so appealing with the placement of furniture and accessories, they fell in love with it and bought it. I highly recommend Mark Luther Design for any design, staging or home renovation. Jerry C. read more

I think Mark is good with color and furniture placement. We hired him to stage our home this fall. He mostly worked with the furniture that I had and brought in 2 pictures, 2 lamps, a bench, 1 pair of hanging drapes, 1 glass kitchen table and 4 side chairs -these looked like they were left over from the 1970's, 3 side tables and some candlesticks, a vase, a pot and pillows for 3 beds an airbed and 1 complete set of bedding and pillows for one bed. All of the items looked like they came from Bed Bath and Beyond or Homegoods. Nothing special, but certainly nothing that looked like it came out of the Boston Design Center. I was disappointed in the quality of the items. I was expecting more. Especially, since our house was priced over the $1,200,000 price range. Mark gave me a verbal price of $2500 and told me that I would have to pay extra for the bedding as those items could not be used again. So when I got the invoice of a little over $3000 I assumed that the extra $500 was for the bedding. I should also say that Mark was recommended by my real estate agent, so there was a fair amount of trust that I had in working with him because of this recommendation. This trust was misplaced. I have learned my lesson. Mark picked up his stuff yesterday. He took everything back except 2 pillows. He had originally told me that I had to buy the bedding as it would not be sanitary to reuse. But yesterday, he changed his story and said that he could reuse the items, because no one used my bedrooms. Well I used my bedroom. And my adults kids do come back sometimes. One bedroom was truly not used and that was the air mattress set up on boxes. So I paid an extra $500 for items that he ended up taking back. I feel like he is not upfront and transparent in his billing. He told me that he would go back to his original paperwork and get back to me as to what I paid for. Well he did call me back today. But he called to ask for the boxes he left here. I also should mention that I had to clean after Mark had staged my house. He moved couches and tables and did not clean after moving them. He took a table that had been in my basement for many years and staged it with a lamp and books and didn't even dust it off. When I mentioned these things to him, he told me that all of his clients have their cleaning people clean up after they leave. Well I am the cleaning crew in my house. So this was insulting and not the response I was expecting! If you want to use Mark, pick his brain for $150 for ideas and do the rest yourself. I would not recommend him as a staging company. read more

Mark & his team decorated our WInchester office for the holidays. 2 conference rooms the front lobby and our windows. he went to Jacobsons floral and picked out beautiful sprays of snow and clear glass balls for our tree. The conference room tree was blue white and silver. His choice of trees were perfect scale for our space and simple and elegant. He filled our windows with garlands and colored ornaments that were festive yet not overdone. He works well with clients and is happy to take their input. read more

Mark staged our home to prepare for our marketing photos and upcoming listing. He brought in furniture and decor for the first floor and the master bedroom, and it totally brought the home to life. Mark's choices are so tasteful, and everything is beautifully coordinated, right down to the art on the walls and the lighting fixtures that Mark recommended. The photos came out great; the house looks so new and fresh and inviting. Staging with MLD was a smart decision! read more

Mark is an amazing designer. I worked with Mark and his staff, who are also amazing and friendly, on preparing homes in Lexington to sell and he does an incredible job. His style and ideas always exceed my expectations. Mark has a vision as soon as he walks into a home and implements them with perfection and in a timely manner. His furnishings are stylish and complement the style home he is staging. I feel that anyone who works with Mark will be very please with his designs and staging expertise.

My partner and I used MLD for staging a condo we put on the market and for designing a new home. We were blown away by Mark's design work on both. The condo sold in the first weekend on the market, and the couple who purchased it remarked on the beautiful staging and asked for his contact information so they could get in touch with him to help them with some interior design. As for our new home, we could not be happier. Mark worked with our difficult builder, who was disorganized and rude, to keep things on track. He held our hand through the kitchen and master bath design and is working with us now on window treatments, furniture, wet bar design, rugs and wallpaper. He does it all!! It is clear that he throughly enjoys his work and working with clients. He is a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him without reservation. read more

Mark staged my house before it went on the market. He has a great sense of design and works with what you have in your house, then supplements with some of his own furnishings, artwork and decorative pieces. He rearranged furniture to emphasize the features of each room. The effect was amazing and made me wish I had made the suggested changes earlier! My home looked fresh and updated. read more

I am a realtor and I hired Mark to stage a property that I was trying to sell in Lexington that was vacant. The property was on the market for 2 months with NO offers. From the beginning I wanted my seller (and advised them) to have the property staged. Once Mark staged the property, we had two offers and it sold within a week! Mark went above and beyond the call of duty in staging the property...washed windows, vacuumed, dusted, etc. His furniture and decorations were perfect for the property. His team is prompt, courteous, efficient and professional. HIGHLY recommend him!!! read more

We cannot thank Mark Luther enough for his design work in staging our Acton house. As he predicted, it sold right away. There's an interesting nuance to staging that I did not fully appreciate before. Because the staged house is clearly a "show house" without the owner's stuff, it enables buyers to immediately imagine it as their own. Even I thought, when I first walked into the staged rooms, "this is someone else's house--not ours". This sale was a milestone for us, and Mark Luther Design helped with the sale and with the transition from ownership. read more

Mark is the best. I'm a Realtor, and when Mark stages a home for sale, I know it will look its best and sell much quicker. Mark has great taste and his gorgeous furnishings and artwork have made a huge difference many, many times. I count on Mark to help my buyers, too, because they need ideas after they move in and can't figure out how to make their "old" furnishings work in their new home. He has a great eye. He also has incredible business and people skills, so I recommend him whenever I can. He never disappoints. read more
