About Us

Design That Moves Buyers. Style That Sells Homes.

Who We Are

At Refinery Home Staging, we believe that when a space is thoughtfully styled, it does more than look good — it creates connection. And that connection is what sells homes.

With over 13 years of experience in the home staging and interior design industry, we’ve built our reputation on refined style, market-savvy strategy, and consistent results. We’re a full-service staging company based in Toronto, proudly serving the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Oakville, Markham, Vaughan, and Burlington.

From vacant homes that need full-scale furnishing to lived-in properties that require expert editing, we approach every space with a clear goal: make it shine — and make it sell.

Our aesthetic is clean, elevated, and approachable — never overdone, never impersonal. We design with buyers in mind while honoring the character of each home.

We also offer more than staging. Ask us about our services in interior renovations, architectural design planning, and real estate consulting for comprehensive, value-driven solutions.

Why We Do What We Do

To us, staging isn’t about decorating — it’s about positioning a property to perform. We blend interior design with real estate marketing to ensure that your home tells the right story to the right audience.

We understand how buyers move through a space, how lighting and layout affect perception, and what truly matters when a property is viewed online or in person.

We proudly serve:

Our process is always tailored, efficient, and aligned with your goals.

Meet Our Lead Designer

Sunshine Montiague

Founder & Principal Stager

Sunshine Montiague leads Refinery Home Staging with an intuitive sense of design, a strategic mindset, and a calm, solution-focused approach to every project.

With a background in interior styling and real estate presentation, Sunshine understands how to balance beauty with function, and design with market appeal. Her staging work reflects not just visual skill, but purpose — each piece is placed with intention, each space optimized to sell.
