About Tamara Grant

For Tamara Grant, one of the parts of working in the design field she enjoys the most is getting to know her clients on a personal level. Learning about their families and interests helps her to make each project different and customized to their needs. For her, assisting clients to turn their home into their dream home is the most rewarding feeling at the end of the project.

Tamara Grant’s love for colour, patterns, texture and fashion has undoubtedly helped her succeed with her clients. She can combine trendy new items with artifacts or furniture pieces a client may already have to complete the end look for the client. Opting for a bright hue or experimental prints doesn’t scare her!

Always having an aesthetic eye for design, Tamara has been personally involved with several renovations and new construction projects throughout her career. She loves the process of a project, from the collaboration of ideas on paper to the fruition of the end product.

Tamara Grant Award/recognitions

Tamara is accredited through USC Ultimate Stager Academy, TCSS™ The Certified Successful Stager™; she obtained her Recognition of Achievement from Seneca College after finishing Personal Organizing, Colour Theory, and Home Staging courses. In November of 2016, Tamara was a highlighted panelist representing Canada on the LeverageUp Entrepreneur Success Panel in New York City at the Intercontinental Hotel in Times Square.

She has most recently earned her Eco-Stager Certification with The C.S.P. International™ Business Training Academy. Her experience of making a home ready for sale, fresh ideas of achieving the proposed references and the passion for showcasing each home in its best light makes the investment in home staging with Tamara Grant worth it!
