ELEVATE YOUR NEST

Home staging is the process of preparing a home for sale by enhancing its appeal to potential buyers with: 

• professional layout + design
• coordinated furniture arrangement
• optimal layered lighting 
• stylish decor
• art selection + installation
• recommendations for color palette selection
• identifying the need for minor renovations or repairs and provide advice and oversight, if desired

Home staging highlights your property’s strengths, minimizes weaknesses and distractions, and helps buyers envision themselves living in the space. We stage interior or exterior spaces to make a great first impression and to maximize your home's value and appeal.

At Nest + Feather Home Staging Design Studio, our comprehensive home staging process is designed to showcase your property’s full potential. We begin with a personalized phone consultation to get to know you and your staging needs, budget and timeline. 

If we are a good fit, then during the initial in-home consultation we assess your home’s strengths and identify areas that might deter buyers, We look at light, flow and space and determine how these crucial elements can be maximized.

• During this walk-through, we provide detailed recommendations for layout design, furniture and accessories, lighting, color choice, and necessary repairs and improvements. 
• After we have an understanding of your needs and budget, we develop a customized staging plan, select appropriate furnishings, art and decor, and execute the staging to make your home market-ready. 
• Once your home sells, we remove all items and make any necessary repairs. 

Every step is tailored to be transparent and stress free. From decluttering and depersonalizing to furniture placement and accessory styling, we ensure your home is not just market-ready, but unforgettable.

The timeline varies depending on the size of your home, how many rooms are being staged, the condition of your home,  and its specific needs. Generally, after the consultation, staging can be completed within 3–7 days unless renovations or repairs cause a delay. Most occupied staging can be done in a day while vacant home staging may require 2 to 3 days.

It may seem like you have no time to waste getting your house on the market, but it's better to wait a few days to get it on, then wait a few months to get it sold!

At Nest + Feather Home Staging Design Studio, we work efficiently to ensure your home is ready for potential buyers as soon as possible. We know homeowners want to get started asap so reach out today and we will respond quickly, usually the same day.

No, we maintain a full inventory of high-quality furniture and accessories that we bring in for staging. Our inventory includes a variety of styles and options to fit any home and budget.

If you prefer, we can also work with existing pieces in your home to maximize its appeal.

But most clients use a combination: we choose the very best pieces from your home and add to the look with selected pieces from our collection.

Located in Haddonfield, NJ, Nest  +  Feather Home Staging Design Studio serves the surrounding areas from the city to shore and the suburbs in between. We are dedicated to providing high-quality home staging services throughout the region.

Absolutely! We specialize in occupied home staging by using your furniture and adding select pieces and accessories to enhance the space's appeal. We work with as much of the existing furniture and decor as possible to create a cohesive and appealing look that will maximize the home's potential. If clients prefer, we can work solely with their existing furniture and accessories.

We also provide recommendations for organizing, decluttering, and depersonalizing the space. 

Absolutely! We specialize in vacant home staging and can completely furnish and style an empty home to make it feel warm, inviting, and lived-in. It may seem counter-intuitive, but an empty house feels smaller than a well staged house. Not surprisingly, well sttaged homes sell quicker and for higher prices compared to empty homes. 

The cost depends on factors like the size of your home and the number of rooms staged, the level of staging required (vacant vs. occupied; traditional vs. soft staging), and the length of time on the market. 

We offer various packages to accommodate different budgets and needs and provide a detailed proposal shortly after the home staging consultation that includes scope of work and all costs for staging, maintaining, and removal.

All initial staging packages come with 30 days of furniture rental, and we provide weekly rental thereafter ( "maintaining" ) so you only pay for what you need. 

costly Yes! Staging often leads to a quicker sale and higher offers due to perceived increased property value as a result of professional staging. 

According to industry research, staged homes typically sell for 5–20% more than un-staged properties.

Many homes in suburban areas are older and need a fresh, updated look to appeal to younger, modern buyers. Staging can bridge the gap.

Staging can also help you save time getting your home buyer ready and help you avoid costly mistakes that can lead to your home lingering on the market-- necessitating a price reduction.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your staging project. Full payment is due before the staging is completed. Typically we require 50% at signing and full payment of the balance the day of staging. 

A 50% deposit is required to secure your staging project and is due at the signing of the contract. The remaining balance is typically due upon completion of the staging setup the same day. 

Payments can be made via check, credit card, or VENMO. Failure to pay the day of staging will result in loss of deposit and immediate removal of staging assets. 

Absolutely!

At Nest + Feather Home Staging Design Studio, we generally require full payment at the time staging is completed, but we can discuss installment options with final payment at closing for larger projects or long-term rentals on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to us and let us know what you need.  

 Unfortunately, home staging fees are non-refundable, as the staging process involves significant time, resources, and rental costs. However, we do our best to help you maximize your home's sale potential, and staging often results in faster offers and higher sale prices.

Yes. You can find the details here.

We get it! Spending money to sell your house sounds counterintuitive and scary. But staging is an investment that often results in a quicker sale and a higher selling price. 

Many  clients recoup the cost of staging—and more—because buyers see the home at its best and value it more. The cost of staging is small compared to a potential price reduction or extended time on the market if your home doesn’t appeal to buyers.

If a full staging isn’t in your budget, we can explore more budget-friendly options, such as partial staging, focusing on key areas, soft staging, or a consultation where we guide you on how to maximize your home's appeal using your existing furniture. 

We're here to help you maximize your home’s potential and make this process as smooth and profitable as possible for you.

Certainly! Living in a staged home is manageable with a little planning. But it is important to realized a staged home IS NOT your regular home. Here are some tips we provide to help you maintain the staged look while still living comfortably:

1. Keep It Clean:
   • Establish a daily cleaning routine to ensure your home remains tidy and presentable for showings.
   • Store personal items, such as toiletries and children’s toys, out of sight after use.
   • Have children play on blankets that can quickly bundle up toys at a moments notice. 
   • Use IKEA bags (or similar) to store toys as these can easily be brought out to a car during showings.

1. Use "Staging-Friendly" Spaces:
   • We design staged homes to be functional, so you can still use the furniture and spaces while maintaining the overall aesthetic.
   • Basements, playrooms or family rooms are great for family gatherings while the house is for sale

1. Limit Personalization:
   • Avoid adding back personal items like family photos or unique decorations during the selling process.

1. Designate "Living Areas":
   • If possible, limit high-traffic areas to one or two rooms to reduce wear and tear on the staged spaces. 
   • Usually this means limiting the use of living rooms and dining rooms, wherever possible, and gathering in a family room or lower level.

1. Follow Our Guidelines:
   • During the consultation, we’ll provide specific instructions and tips tailored to your home to help you balance daily life and show-ready staging.
   • We may provide furniture coverings for use when the home is not being staged, please use.
   • Please, no children or pets on staged furniture, and no standing on staged furniture..

By working together, we’ll ensure your home stays looking its best while remaining a comfortable space for you and your family.

Glad you asked.

Not surprisingly, black front doors are a popular choice, but did you know this small detail can add thousands of dollars to an offer? White is also popular, followed by blues. Typically, home buyers prefer darker colors for the contraast, but soft pale blue is a popular go to choice. Colors to avoid when selling your home include pink/salmon, yellow, cement grey, and bright colors like orange, teal, electric blue, and bright greens. 

But most important is a door that has been properly prepared prior to painitng to ensure a smooth surface for whatever color you choose. Old paint drips, peeling paint and obvious knicks in the door should NOT be painted over. 

And good quality paints have more pigment and reflects better, which is perceived by buyers as a higher quality door.

Bottom line: a door that is in good condition and is a well prepared surface to accept your paint is just as important as the paint color. No home is one-size-fits-all, so pick a color you like!

Not surprisingly, homebuyers think white will make a bathroom appear larger. And it can. But other colors such as pale blue can create a feeling of sky and space, while creating a more serene vibe that bright white. In fact, a Zillow survey showed that a blue bathroom can increase home value by over $5,000. Avoid pinks, yellows and greens.

That same survey showed that a pure white bathroom decreased a home price by $4,000.  

So, if you have a white bathroom do you have to paint it? Absolutely not, if it is clean and scuff free. Just add some color with artwork, towels, bathmats, and bath products. Think spa colors: soft, pale blues and blue-greens.

As with a bathroom, intuition says white will make the space appear bigger, and it can. But counterintuitively, painting a small powder room (walls and ceiling) in a dark hue will make a space feel larger, too. To allow light to reflect and make the space seem larger, choose a semi-gloss sheen that increases light reflection without being too shiny or showing too many wall imperfections.

Just like with bathrooms, homebuyers think an all white kitchen will make it appear larger. And it can. But it can also create a cold, sterile feel in a room that buyers want to be the heart of the home. This comes down to the undertone of the color: choose warm over cool tones.

Warm white, beige, cream, and pale, neutral grays are timeless choices because they work well with most kitchen styles, but popular trends in kitchens currently favor pale blue and blue-grey. A Zillow survey showed that a blue kitchens can fetch over $1,800 more than other colored kitchens. 

Tuxedo kitchens, which have different color base and upper cabinets, are also a popular trend. Remember, darker colors belong on base cabinets and lighter above to keep the room balanced and grounded.

Unlike kitchens and bathrooms, homebuyers prefer a neutral palate of off-white, cream, pale beige, pale greige, or oatmeal. Warm tones make a room feel cozy and warm and create a space people like to gather in. Currently blues and grey do not translate to increased prices. Add color with curtains, furniture fabric, rugs, pillows and throws.

Accent walls remain a popular place to add color in a living room, with darker walls being popular (charcoal, navy, and dark green bordering on black).

Here homebuyers prefer slate blues and soft blues, followed by neutral palates of off-white, cream, pale beige, pale greige, or oatmeal.  

Artwork is an important way to add interesting pops of color and dimension.

And in dining rooms, accent walls remain a popular place to add color, with darker walls (charcoal, navy, and dark green bordering on black) and even murals reappearing!

Warm colors create a homey, comfortable space that people like to gather in. They are a natural choice for living rooms, kitchens, and any space you anticipate people gathering in and spending a lot of time.

Cool colors can be spectacular and impactful. These often work very well in spaces that are more transitory like hallways and bathrooms.

But every color family (blue, green, yellow, red, etc.) has a warm or cool leaning option so you can always find a great color for a bedroom or great room.

So if you love blue and want it in your family room, just look for a blue on the warm spectrum. Ask your paint professional (or artist friend) to help you determine warm versus cool undertones.
