About Terry

A native of Houston, Texas, Terry Mainord comes from a diverse creative background that includes a BFA in fine art, master’s work in film and photography at Syracuse University, and a long, successful career in New York City as a fashion and prop stylist. Her extensive prop styling experience includes working with high-end home furnishings brands, magazines, and national retailers — skills that naturally transitioned into the world of home staging and interior design.

Years of prop styling sharpened her ability to understand how every detail looks on camera and in person — an invaluable skill for property staging in New York’s highly visual real estate market. Terry brings a deep understanding of composition, color, and scale to every project. Whether staging a property for sale or designing a private residence, she takes a thoughtful, tailored approach to each space. Known for her modern, luxurious, yet timeless interiors, her work is infused with richness and warmth through an eclectic mix of elements.

Terry Mainord Design is an award-winning boutique Home Staging and Interior Design firm based in Brooklyn, NY, serving Brooklyn, Manhattan, and surrounding New York City areas. Terry’s numerous industry awards recognize her standout work in home staging.
