Frequently asked questions
Salt + Slate Interiors is a full-service home staging and design company serving Southern California. We help real estate agents, builders, and homeowners transform spaces into market-ready homes that sell faster and for higher value.
Staging isn’t decorating — it’s strategic visual marketing. While interior design reflects personal taste, staging creates universal appeal that helps buyers connect emotionally and act quickly. Our approach focuses on results, not just aesthetics.
We serve clients throughout Orange County, North San Diego County, and surrounding areas — including coastal, suburban, and luxury markets.
We recommend scheduling at least 1–2 weeks in advance of your listing date. During busy seasons, additional lead time helps ensure availability for your ideal install date.
The name Salt + Slate reflects both a place and a philosophy — a tribute to California living and timeless design.
For founder Lori Carlisle, a California native, the coast has always been a source of inspiration.
The salt represents the healing, soothing nature of the ocean — the calm strength found in saltwater and coastal life. It’s the sense of renewal and balance that inspires Lori’s work and reflects the spirit of California’s seaside communities — bright, restorative, and effortlessly welcoming.
The slate symbolizes what endures — lasting materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and design that stands the test of time. It’s strong, elegant, and purposeful, much like the homes and relationships built through her work.
Together, Salt + Slate captures Lori’s vision: the harmony between natural inspiration and design intention — creating spaces that are as enduring as they are inspiring.
Design that Inspires. Strategy that Sells.
