Client words
Shine Urban Staging was a dream to work with! I truly appreciate the level of care and quality they bring to their work — they don't consider a project finished until the home looks absolutely beautiful. Their communication was thoughtful and proactive, making collaboration easy and positive throughout the process. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again on our next project. Thanks Tal and Dori!
Shine Urban Staging did an exceptional job preparing my East York listing for sale. Their attention to detail and professionalism from start to finish were impressive. Both my clients and I were thoroughly impressed with the results. Highly recommend!

Co-Founder and Lead Stager
Dori Shelef is the Co-Founder and Lead Stager of Shine Urban Staging, a home and condo staging company serving Toronto and the GTA. She has been designing since 2001, with years of experience designing custom homes before staging became the focus of her work.
Staging began quietly: a handful of listings, staged for people she knew. The response from the realtors involved in those sales turned it into a business, and Shine Urban Staging grew from that work.
The work happens at the property: the team visits the home, plans the staging around it, and installs it. Dori leads every project from the first walkthrough to the final styling pass before photography.
