Home Staging

As professional home stagers in NJ, we prepare your house for sale within your budget and timeframe so that it may sell faster and at the highest price possible. We help create a vision of a lifestyle in the home that buyers may aspire to. It is an important marketing tool to use when selling a house in any real estate market, and has proven results. Stage a house to sell and showcase it as the very best it can be so that it stands out from the competition. We are real estate stagers, working either directly with the home seller, or in conjunction with a real estate agent assessing the condition and value of the property for sale. With our design expertise, we do a thorough walk-thru asessment of the home, both inside and out, and make recommendations for certain home improvements so the house can sell faster and for more money. Together with the right listing price, statistics show that a staged home will sell quickly, in much less time than one that is not staged, and will typically appraise at a higher value. In addition, buyers with busy lifestyles look for homes that appear well maintained and move-in ready such as a home that has been staged. Distinctive Decor and Design provides a full range of services including move transition assistance, home organizing, furniture rental and interior decorating.

A home's first impression to a potential buyer is so important. Buyers will know immediately if they connect with a house or not. Pictures speak a thousand words. Most people shop for homes online first, so your listing photos must look great for them to want to see more. Let our home staging experts enhance your home's character and bring out its best qualities. We utilize staging techniques that will appeal to the target buyer demographic in the area to sell your house at the best price. Statistics show the cost of home staging is much less than a first price reduction, and can be tax deductible! Check out our Homes Savings Calculator to find out how much staging services would actually save you.

Interior Redesign

We provide creative solutions for all types of interior decorating projects, small or large, from custom window treatments to decorating an entire home with new furniture and accessories. As interior stylists, we offer fine furnishings from many local retailers and manufacturers, searching for the brands and styles that best suit your needs and budget. We handle all the details from start to finish. After we get to know your tastes, lifestyle, decorating preferences and budget, we will design a space that is right for you!

Redesign is a simpler alternative to interior design, where rooms are transformed and rearranged typically in one day makeovers using mostly furnishings that are already on hand. We try to incorporate as many pieces of existing furniture and accessories into the new design and layout or purchase new items to coordinate with the old for a balanced, cohesive look.
