Timeless design. Elevated living. A white-glove, red-carpet
experience.

At Set The Stage Southeast Michigan, we offer high-end home staging, designer furniture sales, and refined interior styling — tailored for those who appreciate elevated spaces and thoughtful design.

Led by Dr. Clara Gruber, Owner and Chief Design Officer, our studio blends international design education with hands-on experience and deep personal passion. Having lived and learned in Germany,
the UK, South Africa, and now the U.S., Clara brings a layered, global perspective to every space — grounded in warmth, intention, and a deep respect for how people actually live.

She has trained with some of the world’s most celebrated voices in design and color theory — Kelly Wearstler, Alidad, Corey Damen Jenkins, Katrin Trautwein, and Shea McGee. Her design philosophy is intuitive and intelligent — rooted in beauty, but always guided by how a space should feel.

✨ We don’t just style homes — we create that “I want to live here”
feeling.

Whether you’re preparing a luxury listing, refreshing your dream home, or furnishing a newly acquired property, we deliver a white-glove, red-carpet experience from concept to completion.
