With many states issuing a stay at home order and with many people still working from home, many have created home offices and home study areas for school age children.

With every Zoom or Skype we do these days, we’re getting a glimpse into how people live.

Some backdrops are blank, while others are full. Really full.

Red House Staging stages homes for sale and turns them into a buyers dream.

If they can stage a house, surely they can stage a Zoom right?

“I think I want my coworker to look at me with my Zoom calls and say, ‘Oh, wow! I think Syd’s apartment is really cute. It’s kind of how I would expect her personal space to look,’” Red House Staging Senior Project Manager Sydney Gaskins said.

Gaskins said a professional looking Zoom call should be in a common space like your kitchen, living or dining room.

Don’t Zoom in your bedroom. Just don’t.

A candle sits atop books on a desk.

To give the right look, Gaskins says it boils down to a handful of simple things:

  1. bright pillows

  2. stack of books

  3. plants

  4. candles

  5. artwork

“Trying to keep my mess as organized as possible makes my work head a little more clear as well,” Gaskins said.


No one’s space is clean all the time, but that doesn’t mean your coworkers need to see a mess.

A well-staged Zoom can not only make you look more professional, it can help you feel that way, too.

When is your next zoom meeting? Where you ready for your first one? Which work of art will you choose to help stage your home? Things may change but Zoom meetings are here to stay.
