Austin's Home Staging Experts
Take the Stage Austin was built on a simple idea:
Presentation Changes Everything
In today's competitive Austin real estate market, buyers don't just evaluate homes: they experience them. The way a property is presented shapes how it's perceived, how it's remembered, and ultimately, how it sells. Professional home staging in Austin is no longer optional. It's the difference between a listing that lingers and one that sells for top dollar.
Take the Stage Austin is a professional home staging company based in Austin, TX, specializing in vacant staging and design consultation services for homeowners, real estate agents, and builders. We stage properties across the Greater Austin area, from everyday listings to luxury homes in West Lake Hills, Tarrytown, and beyond.
At Take the Stage Austin, we design and stage homes that create immediate connection, spaces that stand out online and in person. Our work blends elevated interior design with real estate strategy, ensuring every Austin property reaches its full potential on the market.
Every detail is intentional. Every space tells a story. The result is an environment that feels both aspirational and attainable, inviting buyers to not just see a home, but to envision their life within it.
We partner with agents, builders, and homeowners throughout Austin to deliver professional home staging that photographs beautifully, resonates with buyers, and elevates every listing it touches.
Because in this market, it's not enough to list a home. You have to present it.
This is where Austin homes take center stage.
Collective Excellence
Adelina Rotar
Chief Executive Officer & Founder
Adelina Rotar is a real estate broker, entrepreneur, and founder of Take the Stage Austin. With over $1 billion in career sales across the Austin real estate market, she has built her reputation on understanding what drives buyer connection and how thoughtful presentation can transform the way a home is experienced.
Her approach to staging is both strategic and design-driven, blending elevated aesthetics with real-world market insight. She believes that every home has a story to tell, and when presented intentionally, that story becomes what sets it apart.
After two decades of working closely with agents, builders, and homeowners, Adelina saw firsthand how often presentation was the missing piece. Take the Stage Austin was created to bring a more refined, market-aware approach to professional home staging in Austin, TX.
Outside of her work, Adelina is deeply rooted in her family life. As a mother of four, she understands the importance of creating spaces that are not only beautiful, but functional, welcoming, and lived in. Her perspective is further shaped by a love of travel, photography, and exploring new places. She enjoys discovering new restaurants, attending sporting events, and spending time reading, learning, and exploring history — all of which continue to influence her creative eye and appreciation for well-designed spaces.
Through Take the Stage Austin, she partners with clients to create homes that feel intentional, compelling, and ready to stand out in a competitive market.
Ashley Ball brings a background in residential interior design, procurement, and business ownership to her role at Take the Stage Austin. Having previously earned her real estate license, she also brings an understanding of the homebuying process that informs her approach to staging. Her experience combines creative vision with the organization and business perspective needed to carry each project from concept to completion.
Overseeing staging design, furniture acquisitions, and daily operations, Ashley connects the details behind the scenes with the finished spaces buyers experience. Her entrepreneurial background shapes her hands-on leadership style, with an emphasis on thoughtful preparation, resourcefulness, and clear communication.
Her approach begins with understanding a home’s architecture, personality, proportions, and natural flow.

Every design decision she makes serves a purpose: to create a home that photographs beautifully, feels welcoming in person, and stands out in the market.
