Much has changed for David Cieslak since the last time we caught up with him. Not only has he solidified Signature Staging’s reputation as one of Chicago's premier staging firms, but he’s also expanded his services with the launch of David Cieslak Interior Solutions, a private label company focusing on comprehensive consultation services for both real estate and residential projects.

David Cieslak Interior Solutions (DCIS) is a comprehensive consultation company for people who need help designing a new living space, restyling an existing home, or getting a property ready to sell for top dollar. DCIS also offers short-term rental design services for those who have, or may be, investing in properties to put on Airbnb or VRBO. DCIS serves the Chicagoland area and beyond, including Lake Geneva, Michigan State’s Harbor Country, as well as the greater Milwaukee area.

In providing a broader range of services that transcend the limitations of vacant staging, the launch of David Cieslak Interior Solutions marks a significant milestone in David's career. This venture is his bridge to more personal and in-depth engagement with clients, offering them guidance through the nuanced challenges of preparing and living in a home while it is on the market. 

"I want our clients to know that we're here for more than just staging vacant homes. Our expertise extends into making any space, occupied or not, market-ready and appealing," David says.

With an emphasis on consultation services, David aims to reach a wider audience and beyond the Chicago market. His extensive experience in the design and staging industries, coupled with a genuine passion for helping clients, drives this expansion. David’s personal touch and involvement in every project ensure that his company’s work remains nigh unparalleled.

With twenty years of staging, design, and styling experience behind him, David has become one of the go-to experts for top-producing real estate agents looking for the kind of unique staging and design magic that he and his team conjure day in and day out. In fact, this year, David has been nominated for the One of the Most Influential People in Real Estate Staging award by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA®). From their ever-evolving and on-trend inventory, which sprawls over 10,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space, to a talented team of stagers, Signature Staging and David Cieslak Interior Solutions continue to execute at the highest standards for concierge staging and design in the Chicagoland area and beyond.

David's approach to staging is meticulously detailed and focused on enhancing each listing's unique attributes, creating emotional touchpoints that resonate with potential buyers. "Our staging aims to complement the space, not overshadow it," David explains. "We're not about creating cookie-cutter looks. We’re about crafting a vision that elevates each property."

While David is the visionary leading the charge, he is quick to credit his team for their role in the company's success and growth. Each member brings unique skills and perspectives, contributing to the collective effort of transforming spaces into homes that buyers can envision themselves living in. As Signature Staging evolves, David envisions expanding his team to further enhance their ability to support clients and top-producing real estate agents alike.

As for the future, David is focused on deepening the range of services offered, especially in consultation and short-term rental design, whether they are assisting sellers in making their homes appealing to the widest audience possible, assisting buyers in creating a new living space that reflects and enhances their personal taste and style, or helping long-time homeowners fall back in love with their home. 

Despite the hustle of the business, David finds balance in travel, nature, and time spent with loved ones, especially his husband, Michael; their dog, Rocco; and their cat, Patsy. For David, success is no longer just about being busy doing work-related projects, it's about quality of life, personal growth, and finding balance in it all.

For those in the real estate industry, short-term rental investors, or homeowners looking to make their property stand out in the competitive market, David Cieslak and his dual ventures offer exceptional expertise and a personalized touch that can truly make a difference. Whether through Signature Staging or David Cieslak Interior Solutions, David's work continues to prove his gift for redefining elegance and effectiveness in home presentation.
