Karen McDonald, owner of Innovative Impressions, works as both an artist and home stager who is fueled by creativity, vision, and the ability to transform spaces in meaningful ways. Karen's Bachelor of Fine Art degree and professional staging certification gives her a unique perspective on staging, allowing her to approach each home with an artist’s eye—understanding composition, balance, and color in a way that enhances the overall aesthetic and emotional impact of a space.

​

As an artist, Karen embraces the challenge of expressing ideas through her work, creating pieces that evoke emotion and inspire connection. That same creative instinct translates into her staging, where she carefully curates environments that not only look beautiful but also resonate deeply with potential buyers. Her staging designs bring warmth, cohesion, and personality to each home, helping buyers and homeowners envision the space's full potential.

 

Across Metro Atlanta, Karen offers both vacant and occupied staging services, working with Realtors and homeowners to maximize a property’s appeal. For vacant homes, she provides carefully selected furnishings and décor from her inventory to create a welcoming, polished look. In occupied stagings, she enhances existing furniture with expert styling, decluttering, and strategic updates to highlight the home’s best features.

 

In addition, Karen also provides paint consultations and redesign services, helping homeowners and sellers select the perfect colors to refresh and modernize their spaces. She also specializes in seasonal staging, combining live greenery, cherished decorations, and new pieces to create elegant holiday displays.

 

By blending her passion for art with her expertise in staging, Karen transforms both homes and perspectives, creating spaces that inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impression.
